There are zero trans children, but there's an abundance of mentally ill parents.

Thanks to efforts by volunteers Nosamu and bai0, the Internet Archive's flash emulation just jumped generations ahead.

Mute/Unmute works. The screen resizes based on the actual animation's information. And for a certain group who will flip their lid:

We can do multi-swf flash now!

A pile of previously "broken" flashes will join the collection this week.

I want to make a platformer next, but I don't want to do a Mario clone. Does anyone have any ideas?

Nothing complex like a Metroidvania or even a Sonic clone (physics would be a nightmare).

Very dry read. It's more of a reference condensed from a lot of last years writing.

This is why decentralization is the obvious next step. Vertical scaling has reached its LIMIT for social media. The next step is to scale it horizontally. Oh, you created a Twitter clone?? Cute, I created 1,000 Twitter clones.

IT'S FINALLY DONE.

My Spy Hunter clone, Distant Ruins is now complete. Currently, there is only a Linux binary, but you should be able to compile for Windows in the meantime.

I can't believe I wasn't aware about this until now. Apparently, there is an organization that is creating cheap, open-source industrial machines that can be used to create small, self-sustaining communities. Basically, 3D print your own village.

I bet distributists like @Andrii would love this.

MASSIVE! The Snapmaker Artisan (3D Printer, CNC Router, and Laser engraver/cutter) is HUGE

"Coning" autonomous surveillance vehicles causes them to require a hard reset.

So, the game is basically done. I could add more levels and stuff, but I'm burnt out and want to move on. It's playable from start to finish and that's all what matters. It also isn't as polished as the last game, but that's because I've switched both languages and frameworks.

Expect a release later today. I just need to create a page for it on my website. It might be for Linux only for the time being because I currently don't have access to a Windows PC and I don't really feel like cross-compiling with MinGW and Wine.

And thank God, I don't have to worry about land down under schizo shitting on me and not even attempting to make a coherent argument.
