It's so jarring being in both gamedev and webdev. The main motivating factors for the majority of the devs are so different. Webdevs always talks mmr, user count, monetization, etc. Most gamedevs are just happy that they can fund their next game

Sometimes my adhd is so bad that I conciously choose to procrastinate, but then proceed to unconciously procrastinate the procrastination by being productive

Can't believe the fall of humanity is started by something called 'nano banana'

I thought last year was an amazing year for music. But despite me listening to less albums, 2025 easily blows that out of the water. and we still have 2 months left!

You can't say eating rice with your hands is gross but then turn around and go shit without bidets

We've never been more connected yet empathy seems to be at an all time low

I'm late to this one because I specifically wanted to avoid the ~internet drama~ surrounding it, but I asked 20 game devs what they thought about Stop Killing Games. Some of these answers were genuinely fascinating - huge thanks to all the devs who helped out! youtu.be/ZtHPFvQ1Puw?...

I think the concept of internalization is still underdiscussed

Still can't believe that 1000xResist was a debut game and only by 6 people

I love following US politics. Whenever things get shit here in Indonesia, i go see their news and be thankful knowing it could be worse

Javascript is so bad it's good

Normalize thinking before posting/replying/quoting

Even with more and more AAA studios converging in UE, it's interesting how there isn't much movement on shared open source tools either specific to UE or focusing on AAA. I can think of plenty of reasons why but idk if they explain the gap compared to other fields
