It ran out today and I saw my first adverts in a year.

I started making the paper prototype for my elevator operator simulator!
The game now exists and can be play tested. It's helping me see things I hadn't considered and fine tune the personalities of riders.

There's no need to "host" a hastag, it only give you visibility and buries everyone who replies while boosting you. It's so insincere and self serving.
Encourage others to use the hastags independently.
I was hoping this would disappear with twitter.

I started in UDK and loved it, then UE4 was great but #UE5 is so unwieldly.
I'm trying out #Godot as an alternative for making small games.
I'm blueprint dependent though so this will be a STEEP learning curve.

Seeing the news about #Disney and #AI is miserable.
Imagine paying for a subscription service that then throws slop generated by its users at you for a premium price.
Game publishers will be watching the reaction before opening the floodgates as well.

Out of curiosity I logged into my ancient (20 year old) #Deviantart account.
What the fuck happened to that site???
It's just AI slop porn wall-to-wall with even more premium charges piled on.

Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo.
Just watched @charalanahzard.bsky.social video that sums things up more eloquently youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...
#Indiedev should be talking more about the freedom of the artform.

Imagining a game where one of the main mechanics is consuming “anti-glitch” to keep the player character from glitching out to death. Thanks to @gfuel.com I made an IRL concept 🫡

*sigh* I was hoping to upload some art today, but I had a very unpleasant surprise from Student Loans (I became an error and enjoyed paying for it).
They've scrubbed most means of contacting them directly, so they can help themselves to your money and you can't contact them.

Absolutely love seeing glimpses behind the games made at Doublefine.

In Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory the Thompson was perceived as more powerful than the MP40.
Even though the weapons were identical behind the scenes, their SFX were the only real difference. Shows how important sound is!!

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
