You don't need to use the official Mastodon apps, they're not the best way to use Mastodon. The official apps only arrived last year, and they were intended as "Fisher Price My First Mastodon" things with a restricted set of features.

Third party apps have been around longer than official ones, and include way more features. You can sign in with the same account on all apps.

On Android try Tusky, Fedilab, Megalodon, Tooot

On iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes, Ivory, Mona

In 1998, I stayed online for over 20 hours straight and got a warning email from my ISP

Almost 55 000 levels in the Baba Is You level server!! I just took a look at the full list of levels in the database (first time in a long while), and was greeted with the fact that there are about ~54.9k levels in there! Massive thank you to all of you who've submitted levels!

Imagine having the complete scripts (game code) of all Sierra On-Line games that use the SCI engine published between 1988 and 1996 fully decompiled, human-readable and annotated.

Yes. 100% of the scripts. 100% of the games. 100% made public.

Our SCI mastermind sluicebox did it again!

If you want to learn about the full story, ranging from a deep-dive into the code and tales about the history of Sierra's script language and previous reverse engineering efforts, check out

it's genuinely wild how we heard nothing but long winded platitudes on how innovative silicon valley was for like 20 straight years and it's all culminated in a bunch of the dullest, most petulant billionaires imaginable all just copying each other's version of a very basic chat app

“XML is the future” is a great article. I love all of the straight faced comments, while also crying a little having watched all of it transpire.

@glassbottommeg Thank you so much! 🙏

Rack and Slay is a roguelike dungeon crawler where you're a billiard ball! 🎱

Push monster balls into holes or traps in randomly generated levels. Draft from a 100+ items with stackable, game-changing effects. Find combos and build wacky synergies.

Good chance the graphics will totally change before release, but the gameplay is pretty far along.

Well, in my previous #gamedev post I didn't actually include any Iconoclasts screenshots. It is the biggest thing I ever made, and it almost destroyed me, but I am happy now and it manages to still support my new project! ❤

I MADE A MEME (please add alt text if u can)

Hey! It's been a while since I updated mastodon! I'll be posting my recent #pixelart done in authentic #NES graphics, where I try to push the restrictions as much as possible. Here are two #isometric #mockup takes that can work on the NES without any fancy mapper or programming tricks 😀

"The gays stole the rainbow from God" implies we're powerful and/or cunning enough to steal from a supposedly omnipotent entity and then keep them from taking the stolen goods back and honestly I can live with being perceived as this cool.
