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

Dylan's Short Attention Span by MBoffin (Dylan Bennett)

A casual clicker game. No point. Just something to pass time.

@amanda Merlin Benneth from @PIGSquad gave a short 20m talk on getting started with #pixelart that's filled with really helpful info. The first 5m is mostly "what is & why do pixel art?" as well as tools to do it with, but the rest is all solid info on things a beginner should learn. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/xgoeHAwLYOE

@[email protected] Hmm, yeah, must be a macOS thing. Works fine for me in Firefox on Windows and Ubuntu.

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);}})()

@qristy Seriously, check out the Eero system you can buy on Amazon for extending WiFi. They. are. amazing. Like, so so so SO easy to set up and they work really well. I've deployed literally dozens of them and they are totally set it and forget it devices.

I was actually able to see the comet tonight and get a couple photos with my phone (through a very small telescope). Nothing crazy, but I'm glad I didn't miss it. I could just barely see it without the telescope. #astrophotography #comet #comet2023a3 #space #astronomy
