Went to @bostonindies.bsky.social Demo Night to show off my game about bears mauling children! I got a lot of great reception, and a few ideas for improvements. But I have other projects to do, and the question is: How much effort should I put into a meme game? #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #bible

On this night, 24 hours from Demo Night, I am reminded that my "gaming" laptop is over a decade old, and will NOT put up with my shenanigans. #gamedev
