The FCC is requesting comments on their plan to force trans and nonbinary television programming to be rated as mature. They're going to use those comments as a barometer to see how much they can get away with, so please comment!

Deadline is 22 May

Not sure who needs to hear it, but Discord's global roll-out of age verification policies were kicked to "the second half of 2026", and the 1st of July is about 6 weeks from now.

Don't assume it's something that went away. Keep your options open.

Noticed a large amount of traffic started coming from Meta/Facebook AI bots crawling public posts, and thus filling our instance storage with 100's of GBs of cached media within 24 hours, much faster than our usual cleanup job would catch.

Suggest blocking the "meta-externalagent" user agent from your web server, and the following IP ranges:

Gas prices suck.

Spectrum still charged me for Internet even after turning in the hardware AND canceling the Internet portion.

Car payment snafu.

Please help this bitch catch a break!

Tomorrow I begin (with one undergraduate student) my new research project into accessible game development.

We hope to build a couple of simple games this summer using Godot. We might need to buy some art assets (3D models, icons, sounds, etc.), and I'd like to support disabled artists. If you are (or know of) such a person who has some assets available, please drop a link!

Our 1992 Hoi Amiga game has been re-released, including source files! 🥳

Hoi was the predecessor to Moon Child. Prepare, it's a tough old school platformer… I mean… an exciting game challenge! 😉

The game was converted from the original 68000 CPU Assembly code to C via a soon-to-be released transpiler created by our coder.

MacOS + Windows executables:

Friends, it has become financially unreasonable for me to keep hosting l.p where it currently is, and we're looking to pitch out tent with Fedihost. One caveat: we need $500 to cover Fedihost's migration fees (that sum would cover l.p's hosting fees for a few months at least by my count).

If you have some loose change in need of a home and want to support what we do here at laserdisc dot party, you will have my eternal thanks. https://ko-fi.com/derekgodin/goal?g=0

CHARM STUDIES is now out on Steam, and it comes with a new trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skIkrk7NfN4

In this hybrid between VN and picross, you will follow the misadventures of Cassia, a little witch trying to graduate high school.

If you played Squeakross and you SOMEHOW still need more, Charm Studies will have you covered for a while. This new Steam version adds two GIANT puzzles on top of a bunch of regular nonograms. All of this bundled with gorgeous art and a cute story!

In honour of Black Author Day (which was yesterday, and I missed it!) some Black authors I highly recommend:

Nnedi Okorafor. The Binti series are particular favourites of mine, but all of her books are amazing. Binti is the first member of the Himba people is accepted into an intergalactic university, but her ship gets hijacked on her way there.

https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/binti?sid=61cca095-0b8a-4a1d-8620-532289b60bea&ssid=HgUg8oSsqcqQW8s0PMZZH&cPos=1

NK Jemisin. The Broken Earth trilogy is absolutely brutal and heartbreaking. It's also one of the most beautiful stories I've read. It's hard to talk about without spoilers, so I won't. Just go read it!

If any fiction is required reading, I feel like these should be.
