This is not Twitter, you do not have to put the link in a comment post, you can put it right away in that top post you are writing.

You need resources to build a city. In Amberspire, you'll start off with Scrap, Metal, and Brick. But, as you progress, you'll need to source and use more unusual materials, such as Starlight, Tides, and Ash.

Amberspire is out May 6th 🌇 Wishlist it on Steam!

Holy shit, Daniel Linssen here casually dropping this gorgeous, stunningly original concept on us as if it's just any old Wednesday...

GO CHECK IT OUT!

Finally played A Short Hike and fell in love so fast! Had to make a little paper homage.

Thank you @adamgryu.bsky.social @marksparling.bsky.social for making this joyful game!

What happened to BLADEST MAN?

In normal times, we'd be discussing the capital F, but that bar has LONG been buried.

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

What, like an actual *record*?

A screenshot from an email that reads "Dear Robert (Bobby),"

Dear companies,

Please don't do this. I'm not talking about the comic sans (that's another rant-request), I'm talking about having my preferred name on record, but inserting it in brackets after my given name, as some kind of afterthought.

For me, it's not TOO much of a deal, but for others...

Saying no to Nintendo's prices is so easy

Why do I keep seeing unlinked URLs on bluesky? Weird. Anyway, let's see if I can help...

If Luigi Mangione ISN'T one of your favourite Luigis, OK, fair enough: name three you prefer...

An advert that reads "Step into a super-sized adventure" in the Mario font and colors, with Mario-related symbols in the background including coins, white clouds on a blue sky, and a heart symbol.

My local shopping mall really getting away with this...

Happy AI Fools day!!! 🤪

(April Fools day comes once a year, but *every day* is AI Fools day!)

But... shouldn't you have gotten up an hour *later* than you should?

An exemplary owl burrito a.k.a. owlrito a.k.a. burritowl. A chocolate brown towel wraps this Barn Owl, forming a tight, upright cylinder. The owl's head, a half-sphere/dome, protrudes above the hem, giving an overall shape of a fluffy R2-D2. His eyes are closed, forming a V-shaped crevice in the feathers of his heart-shaped facial disc. The rehabilitator behind -- wearing a black long-sleeve top baring a white clinic logo on the chest -- holds the column of owl the way someone might hold an expensive camera, one hand on the side, and one below.

A grid of photos 3 by 3 showing the steps to wrap an owl in a towel. It starts with our model Barn Owl face-down, legs straight on a flat folded towel on a tabletop, and ends with the rehabilitator sitting on a stool with a perfect burritowl wedged securely between their knees. The benefit of this procedure is the rehabber now has both hands free to administer fluids, food, and medication.

How to Burrito an Owl

A guide by @barnowltrust.bsky.social shows how to wrap owls like burritos so they can be more easily be examined, treated and fed by a wildlife carer.

A screenshot from Mario Kart World on the Switch 2

I know Mario Kart World has its detractors but its version of Rainbow Road is up there with the most euphoric moments of gaming. Ever.

Five near identical apps from Nintendo, four of which are labelled "Nintendo ..."

Not sure who's worse: Nintendo, for calling all their apps "Nintendo <something>" or Google for not fucking letting us edit app names...

Not the most successful game in the world *enough*

The dream world in A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, with a progress indicator reading 100%

2) A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build ⛄

I'd played this lovely little puzzler before, but this time I went back to fully 100% it. The dream world was confusing at first, but a brilliant twist on the main mechanic.

as in "the thing you can do is turn the &*^$£$ing thing off"!

A setting to "Show warning before changing an extension"

For whoever else needs to know, this is a thing you can do in macOS Finder settings:

What I need to know is how someone hits the “fully justified” text option on this, looks at it, and says yep let’s ship that.

My physical copy of Animal Well arrived this week, so excited to see it! @mossmouth.bsky.social did a fantastic job with the cover art, it’s a beauty!
