Killswitch キルスイッチ (iamkillswitch.bsky.social)

I'd like to formally introduce The Indie. A publication based mainly around indie games and development. It won't be just game reviews. Developers will have a hand in helping to shape what The Indie will become. Let me give you a sampling in this thread. #gamedev #indiedev

@thunderbay_ Or they want to make a deal with someone official and not those other 2 clowns. Better to make a deal with one of the head bozos and not bozo adjacent. I highly doubt the 25th will ever happen even if the person was a babbling idiot with dementia...

We're making Castlevania, except it's a tower defense and you play as Dracula to protect your castle from those foolish mortals.

whos chasing this Shaq manga if it was ever made? getting creative now

A little custom creation I made of Kobe Bryant with Manga style artwork…like I said hire me panini @CardPurchaser

@ezrasalman @CardPurchaser If only Panini still had a license.

@Jeremy_Peeples @WaifuverseAI Blind as a bat doesn't mean you're excluded. These fools clearly can't tell the difference between a dairy farm and a "drug trafficking training facility" (as if one exists).

@WaifuverseAI Thank God I'm blind as a bat and 42

If you are under 42 you will be drafted.

Horizon Chase is being delisted on June 1st. Excellent arcade-style racer (and one of my favorite ways to test screeen/audio quality). Thankfully, the team clarified in a reply that current owners will still be able to download their purchased copy. x.com/HorizonChase/s…

Now that Sora is 6 feet under. What's next? It's the first domino for sure.

This old dog keeps trying to accomplish new tricks in a world that's made for young dogs now... Not ready to roll over and play dead just yet.

Flix needs to stay out of gaming. Stick to what you do right and leave the rest alone.

@AW_GBAtemp Well I am going on the assumption that I can do something with it. Someone did trademark it in the past but they let it expire. The word has been used for other things. So we shall see. It could be the summer of...Sw.....

@IamKillswitch As long as it's not trademarked for clothing or apparel, you can use it too.

While waiting to see if I can fund my game or anything else, I've been debating if I should make a few pieces from a clothing line I wanted to do 30 years ago. Much easier to market online. But someone is using the name for an event. Do I really want to deal with legal drama...

Iran turned the Strait of Hormuz into Patreon. WTF... Waiting for the pay for 10 oil tankers and get 2 free deal. Stupidest timeline with stupid people make it stupider for a stupider future of stupid.

BREAKING: The Strait of Hormuz is no longer closed. It is no longer open. It is something the world has never seen before: a permissioned corridor run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, priced at $2 million per vessel, payable in yuan. Three ships transited in the last 24 hours. Three. Out of a pre-war average of 60 per day. Total throughput: 310,000 deadweight tonnes. Three percent of normal. Four hundred vessels are waiting outside the strait right now. One hundred and fifty tankers. One hundred and twenty bulk carriers. One hundred and thirty others. Waiting for permission from the IRGC Navy to enter a 5-nautical-mile channel between Larak and Qeshm islands inside Iranian territorial waters. This is how the gate works. A vessel operator contacts approved intermediaries with IRGC connections, submitting full documentation: IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, destination, crew list. The intermediaries forward the package to the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for sanctions screening, cargo alignment checks that prioritise oil over all other commodities, and geopolitical vetting. The toll is approximately $2 million per tanker. For a VLCC carrying 2 million barrels, that is $1 per barrel. Preferred currency: yuan. If the vessel passes, the IRGC issues a clearance code and route instructions. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, patrol boat escort. One ship at a time. Through the narrowest channel of the most important waterway on Earth. Iranian crude is still flowing. Approximately 1.1 to 1.5 million barrels per day, mostly to China, at near pre-war levels. Iran’s own oil transits the strait it controls. The blockade applies to everyone else. Iran is simultaneously the gatekeeper and the primary beneficiary. The toll funds the IRGC. The IRGC maintains the gate. The gate generates the toll. The circle is self-sustaining. Now look at what is NOT transiting. Fertiliser. Gulf nations supply 49 percent of the world’s exported urea. Ammonia requires the natural gas that Qatar declared Force Majeure on and that Iranian strikes disrupted at South Pars. Effectively zero fertiliser vessels have received approval through the permissioned corridor. The IRGC is prioritising oil because oil generates revenue. Fertiliser does not. The molecules that feed four billion people are trapped behind a gate that only opens for molecules that fund the gatekeeper. The yuan preference is the structural shift that outlasts the war. Every tanker that pays in yuan instead of dollars establishes a precedent. Every precedent weakens the petrodollar architecture that has governed energy trade since 1974. The IRGC is not just blocking a strait. It is building an alternative payment rail under live fire. The $2 million toll in yuan is not a fee. It is a proof of concept for a post-dollar energy settlement system, stress-tested in the most extreme conditions imaginable: a three-front war with the world’s largest military. The world’s central banks are trapped by the same strait: the Fed cannot cut, the ECB is hiking, the BOJ is tightening. Six countries are rationing fuel. Japan’s 10-year yield hit a 27-year high. Slovenia has QR codes at the pump. South Korea is barring government vehicles one day per week. And behind all of it, 400 ships wait outside a 5-nautical-mile channel for a clearance code from the IRGC Navy, payable in a currency that is not the dollar. Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply. Controlled by a VHF radio call and a yuan transfer. The strait did not close. It changed ownership. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

We're being run by morons who bankrupted the country....
