I know I only get away with it because I'm white and don't look poor but I get such pleasure in saying "No thank you! :)" and briskly walking past the grocery store security guards asking to see receipts at the exit.
Something something intentional disobedience ++ resisting security theatre.

Damn nothing makes you believe that other worlds are possible like listening to a David Graber book. Our political realities are so so narrow compared to the vastness of what has been and can be done.

OK, the fix for this wasn't actually to bad, just inexplicable. On a hunch, I have each layer of the portraits manually duplicate their material instead of relying on the previously-working "resource_local_to_scene", and that seems to have fixed it. No idea why it broke on this scene and not others.

i have such a love/hate with #godot. I'm so glad it exists and I know other engines have problems too but I stg there's always some cursed problem that crops up right as I'm trying to release. This morning I found that our portraits are broken post-4.6 upgrade but only for the exported build.

I've adored this illustration by @badbucket.bsky.social ever since I first saw it in the lancer core book and was delighted to learn they have it available as a print 😍 :: www.inprnt.com/gallery/badb...

ICE just murdered a man- they had him 5 on 1, on the ground. A mile from my house. This blatant and insidious.

I can't repro with the same files/settings in a fresh project, so "manually delete this folder" is just now part of my export procedure. 😓

Today in cursed problems: I just discovered that the "exclude files/folders" export filter hasn't been working so our pck has been twice as large as it needed to be (ie duplicates of all audio files), like +160mb. #godot

Fantastic breakdown of Tactical Breach Wizards' AI! We have a similar approach for Lancer Tactics of having the "brains in the grenades", but this also showcases a clearheaded priority approach that solves for too many weights causing an AI to do crazy things.
Wish I'd seen this three years ago lol

I'm not going to GDC this year, so here's a little talk for free - on a thing I want to share before I forget how it works.

had the pleasure to work with the team for the past few years - not comprehensive at all but here's a small sampler of icons and small illustrations that can be found across the game

I'm one of the three! Great article.
Three creators working within Lancer's creative ecosystem told @newmadras.bsky.social that the mech RPG's large fan community isn't just dedicated -- they're indispensable collaborators.
Lancer is a brain worm, and 50,000 people have it
What is the community doing over there? A lot, apparently!

Scott McCloud's closure/big triangle are the concepts I reach for when thinking along these lines. More detailed = less to the imagination = can feel less real.
