If you’re a game developer and want to cut needless CO₂ emissions:

cap your framerate to 30 FPS while the game is paused or in menus.

Many players leave games idling for hours, and some menus still render at full GPU load.

Always wanted to be on a VIDEO GAME? You can! Any donation of $200+ gives you a custom character that can be used in #Nechromia! ^_^ You'll get an exclusive in-game code to use it! You'll also help me to pay rent :3 Limited slots!
$50 gets you a portrait in game too!
So tired of asking for help, but let's go again.
We are totally out of money after paying bills and rent is still due. Any help is appreciated!🖤 Your support gets:
- Any amount gets a steam key
- $50+ gets you a portrait in-game
- $200 gets your OC as a playable character

I think it's borderline impressive how the Parsec UI managed to be both incredibly minimal and yet super confusing.

In science simplicity reveals truth.
In life simplicity often conceals it.

When I see AI art in your steam banner for your game I can't be bothered to click on it...

Denpa is kind of like Japan’s Eurobeat. Not in sound, but in spirit: both are loud, kitschy, over-the-top genres that turn excess into pure energy.

in the past having children had utility. They could help on your farm and continue your household. Today having children is a expensive hobby.

So Google calendar doesn't have a built-in tool to simply import a ics file but I was able to use gemeni. Still took 20 minutes which should have been one minute.

😱Rent is due in 2 days, so I thought about a fun thing:
💀- Any $200+ donation to get your OC in the game as a playable character! 🖤
⌛- Limited slots!
📖- Rules: humanoid bipeds, no armor, any gender, furries ok!
🗝️- Any donation gets you a steam key, $50+ gets you a portrait!

My thesis for lostness vs fun in #gamedev. Silksong and Animal Well spend most of their time in "where tf am I (good)", but it's a very risky game. Rain World was great, but it did nudge me into "where tf am I (bad)" a little too often for my taste.

It’s 2025. We can finally admit it’s fine to move the cursor with arrow keys instead of HJKL.

Bad news: I got laid off from a project and rent is still late, I'm afraid I'll receive an eviction notice soon. I managed to pay part of it last month but we're still struggling. Any help is appreciated!

- Steam Key
- Portrait In-game(If you donate $50+)
- + more!

This might be a controversial take, but I feel like in many cases programmers are better UI designers than actual UI designers.
