I posted on my personal blog again for once!

This week, I submitted my bachelor's thesis after eight years of studying. Why did it take me so long, and how does it feel now?

thank you so much for the continued lovely reviews, everyone 😭🥰 they really help out a lot in terms of steam promoting the game, & they warm our hearts ❤️
An example of three lovely, positive reviews for Tiny Life. In this case, three reviews all posted today: - handsafblue says: I'm so happy I heard about this game! I love to see some competition in the Life Sim genre, and even though its still in early access I can already tell its a gem. I'm really looking forward to future content updates! - Gassy says: Absolutely outstanding game. It's obvious the developer has put a lot of love into Tiny Life. (the rest is cut off, but also very lovely) - Lyryan says: Such a cute little game, it reminds me of the sims 1! It's cozy with easy controls. I have been burned too many times by early access games, but I have been following the updates for awhile, played the demo and finally decided to buy this game to support the developer (the rest is cut off)

i was really excited about the tiny life tuesdays streaming series i'd started but it turns out that i just cannot keep to a routine schedule of like, a ""public appearance"" at the moment. i'm struggling a lot w/ my first master semester & i might ask my psychiatrist to up my anxiety meds tbh

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes
A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

We just released a small update that fixes a couple of sort-of-major bugs that could, to everyone who has never played Tiny Life during the beta and alpha days, be considered new features. Oops!

A screenshot of 8 Tinies in a park, all dressed up in new items from the Out & About set. The screenshot is overlayed with the Tiny Life logo, the words "Out & About", as well as the showcase info from the post. The bottom-right shows the Out & About set's logo, which is a coat hanger with a bright golden star behind it.

PMD opens with nonconsensual transformation. is that against the rules? is it against the rules if it's drawn by someone who's horny for it? who the fuck knows?

i'd been back and forth on the "disallowning nonconsensual sexual scenarios in fiction" debate for years, but this comparison single-handedly convinced me that yea, it's so much more nuanced than "consent important tho", and a blanket ban is incredibly short-sighted

this is the equivalent of banning rollercoasters because they simulate the feeling of falling to your death, and falling to your death is bad
