Apparently there’s a browser plugin (Greenhouse) that started to mine these data. More work could be done to make these data easier to process.
It would be really cool if someone figured out a way to go from donation data to organization name and exposed that data in page content, say.

tbh the rimworld dragon mod is just Good.
they've got these rounded lowdetailish art that fits really well in the rimworld art style and I love it. All the non-"true dragon"s share this one art, just palette swapped, and the true dragons get one with extended wings that's significantly bigger.
Also they're combat mounts and Very Intelligent, all of them. Some of them are harder to train due to being "wild" races (the true and silver are both examples of this) while some are much more domesticated breeds that are much easier to train and tame, but they're all exceptionally, incredibly intelligent. I swear Haley's smarter than a couple of my colonists.
Please play my RPG titled My RPG!!, a game about adventurers, different worlds, and their creators.

A scientist made bread from a 4,500-year-old yeast sample. Unconfirmed whether the sample was contaminated by newer microorganisms, but still incredibly neat.
Come Test My New Battle Engine! Looking for Volunteers!
Hey! I'm starting work on my second major game release, tentatively called "Kill Your Landlord's Mecha!" It's a JRPG hybrid like my previous game "Tegu", with fights which are card battles with a lot of strategy. I've got a demo of the battle system and I'm looking for feedback from interested folks! If you have the time, please give it a spin and let me know what you think. There are tutorials to explain it all.

Supports keyboard and gamepad
It's the lion's share of the soundtrack for Tegu, @Aradia 's upcoming card-battling JRPG.
I don't know exactly when this will be dropping officially, that's pending a lot of different moving parts to stop moving but in the meantime, you can catch a preview of it here: https://soundcloud.com/ratttz/wrong-side-of-the-tracks-unmastered

videogame crushes, Rune Factory 4 spoilers
It says a lot about me that I crush on the friendly dragon and the fourth level boss of the game, because of course I do.
videogame crushes, Rune Factory 4 spoilers
Someone in line for a videogame yesterday asked me if I was also going to pick up the rereleased Rune Factory 4. I said I would, and played through before, after which they asked me “which woman I married”.
I didn’t have the heart to tell them I crushed on Ventuswill (the cheerful, sincere wind dragon deuteragonist) enough that I refused to complete the story arcs that make her disappear and eventually become human.
Also, that I was courting Leon.
