This is why people spent/saved more during Lockdown.

It wasn’t the stimulus checks, it was not being required to spend all that money just to survive.

Hello bluesky hivemind, does anyone happen to have a diagram of Crimson Skies' gamepad joystick dead zones? I remember them doing something clever to avoid unintended pitch and yaw at the same time but google is failing me

every day my soul grows closer to that one computer engineer who put a bug into the compiler he wrote because he thought compilers were dumb and useless and took away from the craft

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
