So they both took it upon themselves to be at the forefront of making Godot really production ready for Vulkan on mobile, which will greatly benefit all Godot users targeting mobile.
That's how open source works best, but it's also a good example of the actual cost of making open source software.

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.
If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

It's overall a shame that had Scott Adams decided to just not be a rotten person, he could have stayed mostly enjoyed in the annals of newspaper comics.
Just overall an unnecessary decision to choose hate for, apparently, the rest of your life.
In contrast, SMBC is goat.

We can have it. We can be the society that walks back abuses of power and makes it so there are consequences again. I can dream.

Paul Verhoeven undefeated in creating a movie that flies right over the heads of the people it’s making fun of
Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.
(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

I want to 100% agree with this reply. If your goal is to make something just because you want to make it, make whatever - take as long as you need, work 20 minutes a day if that's what you have, it doesn't matter. Please don't let commercialization get in the way of making art.

Stop making big (+1 years) games, please!!
Take two shots in that time instead of just one.
Yes, there's A LOT of luck. But also, hedge your bets. It's very hard out there. Don't add long and expensive to the risk factors at first.

Incredible work by them, and deeply love this trend of successful devs giving back to others in time, experience, and funding opportunities.
Kinetic Games, the developer behind Phasmophobia, has announced the launch of Kinetic Publishing to "support and champion creativity within the indie space". The publisher will fund two to three indie projects a year up to budgets of £1 million.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
