making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

this made me laugh.. " a person libelled by LA Times waives the right to prosecute the LA times if they read the libel in the LA Times." nice take on catch 22 (not) ROFLMFAO

Programming is art and that's why my game is full of ludicrously complex logic and why my engine is custom. Code is how I can express myself.

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

#screenshotsaturday Got this forest tech demo thing moving in #Picotron. Needs 30fps to stay looking nice, but so far I've managed to procgen all the art in lua so it'd still be a small enough cart for BBS. All my other WIP projects exceeds 256k cart limit 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #scapes #forest

The whole world no longer smells like cigarettes.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

epic games store is so ass that tim sweeney has been having a meltdown all weekend about a policy on steam like he doesn't have any viable alternative as a customer

Ultimately, if you only have time to know one thing about all of this, just know that not a single solitary tech oligarch, tech company, or tech-backed politician has a single solitary serious commitment to the existence of Black political power or economic security in their plans for the future.

it's one of those situations where you realize some programmers apparently 1. hate programming and 2. don't care to understand what they're doing

Made worse by the fact that most available junior slots are being taken by senior devs, because it’s the only job they can get right now.

Man, tomorrow is going to be a disaster

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

just saw this graph and its another Y axis crime. there is only about a 2.5% difference in revenue between the two over a comparable sales window since launch (which is fantastic for a sequel!) but you would never know it with the fuckass Y axis starting at 392.5M instead of 0. They're SO close!

Australian indie game community organisation Freeplay has been accused of discrimination following the removal of a sponsor hours before its annual showcase event. The organisers of Melbourne International Games Week, which it was part of, have called it "a clear breach" of its code of conduct.

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

All of my games are 55% off on itchio (partly because the ones on Steam are also on sale, but I do really need the money) So if you're looking for games that are hard to describe and you can't just take 3-5 genre words and throw them together, then have a look itch.io/s/203440/aut...

holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol

i will not be educating myself on what danger the eu kids act poses to my livelihood, i am choosing to remain blissfully unaware

this is like someone having the flu and the doctor cuts their leg off, then when the flu gets worse they just look at the saw in their hands and cut the other leg off

a long day for a hero

Q: what is it called when you start letting AI write some of your docs, then some more, then... A: "slippery slop"

Striving for realism.

yeah i'm starting to think this is purposeful deflection. "oh no soylent green might turn into godzilla you better regulate VERY CAREFULLY who's allowed to sell it and we're prepared to work closely with you to be the only ones left" meanwhile nobody looks into what actually goes into soylent green

god bless that person who boiled it down to "we've had this discussion extensively, you're just 18" or whatever it was

[job interview] interviewer: so god killed all your kids? job: that's right

My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.

Every paragraph of the article is proof that AI is 90% vaporware and marketing. Every technical flaw is spinned to be human, every bug to be a feature (you're just not squinting hard enough) and consistency of proponents logical arguments is irrelevant at best

I miss doing gamejams

People would be shocked how often a romance mechanic is planned or pitched for a game that could genuinely benefit from it, only to be blocked by a single oldhead dude in leadership despite everyone else being into the idea because he thinks romance game play is "weird" or "cringe."

Man I already feel like we've done SO WELL to get the funding + grants we have got. And at the same time it feels like 'wild success' post launch would be that I can have an 'ok' living for 1 person for a few more years. And that idea of 'ok' would still be below median wage for my country.

their story✨

*Something is being posted about anthropic or openai being scared of their own creation* Oh has a fiscal quarter passed again already?

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

$2000 iPhones, but please tell me again how that $19.99 indie game is overpriced
