I did the Zero Hour Game Jam this weekend with @PIGSquad. OMG what a bunch of silly fun. Basically you make a game in the hour that gets rolled back for Daylight Savings. You start at 1am, then jam for an hour until the clocks roll back to 1am. So... zero hours. We do a big thing in the @PIGSquad Discord where everyone jams together and it's so much fun. I made a silly clicker game, but I love how it came out. https://mboffin.itch.io/dylans-short-attention-span

I made this bookmarklet a while ago, but I use it all the time and it's *SO INCREDIBLY USEFUL* so I figured I'd share it here.

1) Make a new bookmark and name it "Deblur"
2) Copy/paste this Javascript code into the "address" field:

javascript:(function pxl8(){const s=document.createElement('style');s.innerHTML='img{image-rendering:pixelated;}';document.head.appendChild(s);for(let i=0;i<frames.length;++i){frames[i].document.head.appendChild(s);}})()

Literally just taught an entire #gamedev class solely on the masterful #GameDesign of the first screen in @Sophie's #pico8 Return of the Slimepires. A superb example of "it's a tutorial but doesn't FEEL like a tutorial." Without a single 🧚‍♀️ "Hey, listen!" it teaches:

* Jumping
* Spikes=💀
* Respawn
* No fall dmg
* Ledges
* Ladders (& jumping off 'em)
* Really, no fall dmg
* Crouch
* Slide
* Fire
* Fire *up*
* Locked doors & switches
* ✅points
* More, but out of toot space

This is the first Mastodon change that I've seen and thought, "Nope. That's worse."

The scribbled yellow here is all wasted space on my screen now.

Screen space is already at a premium in each column. This wastes a big portion of that space. Not a fan.

WOW. That's a *huge* shift in just one year. It's wonderful to see @godotengine doing so well and loved by so many people.

Got some basic RTS mechanics working in Godot. I extended Zenva Academy's short Godot RTS intro course and added multi-select, map movement, etc. Starting to feel ready to make something for @PIGSquad's August Summer Slow Jam.
