I think online glasses stores should be required to give an estimate on how heavy their glasses are, before *and* after lenses... I recently got a new pair that I love the look of, but they really can hurt after a while

Let me be clear.. EVERYBODY who has admin or mod privileges in ANY discord server that is even remotely adjacent to gamedev needs to @ everyone about what's going on, and they need to do it YESTERDAY. More ppl got caught up in this, coulda been avoided. Dont click links from ANYONE w/o interrogation
@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

I've also decided to put Fleece on sale at 50% off, too! (On itch only) It never gets invited to asset store sales despite good reviews, but I put a lot of work into it this year so I'll do my own sale! Need a dialogue manager that doesn't fray at the edges? Get cozy with: kaiclavier.itch.io/fleece
Fleece by KaiClavier
A dialogue manager for Unity that doesn't fray at the edges.

The Unity Asset Store's New Year Sale is on!! Super Text Mesh is 50% off for this period, so if you're using Unity... Well, I'd say it's an essential at this point! assetstore.unity.com/packages/too... (Affiliate link btw... It's my asset, may as well!!)

So E33 used AI as much as everyone was using it back in 2022 to make dumb images before it became the society-melting abomination it is today sure, but like... Any version submitted to judges had those textures still in it. Even if unintentional, that's what it's judged on, not post-release changes.

I Really need to deprecate Super Save Loader and publish this new save data asset I've been making in its place... It hasn't given me any problems in the last few months of personal use so it's *probably* stable, but... Really want to be safe with this one!

Take a look at this amazing plush of my adventurer cat, made by @plushiluv.bsky.social!! They're poseable, have customizable expressions, can hold/wear props, stand on their own, and they're only around 10" tall!! Truly a feat of plush engineering, thank you so much!!

Things have felt a lot better since I quit relying on caffeine lol... Still going to allow myself the occasional energy drink as a headache cure every now and again, but I was becoming pretty dependant on them for a bit there.

Been playing Kirby Air Riders and having a blast! My takeaway is... I remember being scared of the volcano area in Air Ride's City Trial as a kid, but replaying last week, it was just... red. Now, if I played *Air Riders* as a kid, I don't know how I'd react with how actually scary it can get LOL

Some additions to the new update! That <<FIRSTTRUE>> tag makes text follow the first link that evaluates to "True" just like empty passages did previously, except now you don't need an empty passage to do it! That teal banner appears on the passage when this is set up. <<RANDOM>> is also an option!
