a beautiful little writeup.
Since I cook a lot I didn't find the cooking puzzles hard at all, they use very simple standard techniques (lauditory) but found them quite inspiring and educational, particularly the dosa and idli sequences; I feel personally empowered to cook these dishes by this game!

Worth getting this account going with some artwork! Finally posting some #pacificdrive work. This is the key art made for the game cdracott.artstation.com/projects/XJ5...
Subnautica 2 Steam page. Krafton is not listed as the publisher.
SteamDB page showing Krafton removed on April 7, 2026.
The Unknown Worlds / Krafton story is a gift that keeps on giving. Looks like Krafton is out of the Subnautica picture entirely.
I have thoughts about what this extrication deal might be (waive the earnout, dismiss any countersuits, Krafton doesn’t get a dime)… and if so, a good deal for Krafton.
The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.
A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much.
Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment.

For folks who watch indie game industry news, Slay the Spire 2, in early access, outsold the *lifetime earnings* of Hades 2 AND Silksong in its first two weeks alone. Soft estimates suggest they are on track to make $250M over the next 12 months; a new record high for the Godot engine.
gonna make a game where you can quicksave and quickload whenever you want but every time you quickload without dying you come back wrong. gradually your character falls ill, starts losing the occasional tooth, scratch an itch and too much skin comes away
you are not required to set yourself on fire to keep other people warm
This is an important lesson to learn when you barely have enough energy to get thru the day
It's already been a year since our last live event!
It's time to have a new one and talk about some of the new features that have been added to #orx since then.
Please join us on Discord on April 18th: discord.gg/jEXxAXuM?eve...
We'll also be happy to answer any orx-related questions you'll have.
A brownish-black insect with four yellow spots ion his elytra and a pair of pincer protruding from his abdomen. He is standing on a white sheet.
We found this amazing earwig at a bug light last night. This one is a male, they typically have larger pincers. There is not much info available about the genus so I'm not sure why he has those strange protrusions from his abdomen.

What technique did you use to do that jiggle? It sort of looks like a vertex animation on all building geometry within the general vicinity of each change. It looks great!
I’ve made lots of progress made on my cozy building game:

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.
In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"
first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
Genuinely feeling like Mamdani has finally figured out the thing the left has historically been The Worst at.
The left needs to:
(a) use government to do Good and Popular Things
Normal: [✓]
Mamdani: [✓]
(b) TELL PEOPLE VERY LOUDLY AND MEMORABLY EVERY TIME IT DOES
Normal: [ x ]
Mamdani: [✓]

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

My favorite trick I learned about was devs taking a screenshot of the game right when you hit pause, and then placing that screenshot behind the menu so they could do whatever they want behind it without the player knowing.
Bluesky just ruins video quality, but I'm posting this anyway because watching him eat makes me feel very calm, and also you can see a lot of his very fresh hairs and pointy little nubs from this angle that will get worn down before too long. The texture on the inside of his shield claw is so cool!
a great week for productivity
