i am capable of empathy even for people who have done bad things. it doesn’t mean i endorse the things they have done. it doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with me. if you can’t understand that then i’m sorry for you.

the community on this website is really gross tbh. i think i should leave.

My book is called Barbarians and it's about categories, and how most of the braying that people call politics here isn't even comprehensible as personal ethics much less politics. Gusts of popular sentiment that incomprehensible beyond vibes.

being that i actually grew up in a cult i want y’all to know that you don’t know anything about that. you’re fucking weird for labelling your opp’s internet acquaintances that way. i follow who i want. you’re not keeping anyone safe. look in a mirror.

nightreign is like a game show “shop ‘til you drop” marathon to me. the exact opposite of the strategic, thoughtful gameplay of dark souls.

i disagree that it captures the essence of a ‘souls’ or ‘soulslike’ game based on the combat mechanics alone.

trying to decide between billboarding a ton of small pixel art animations from 360° including overhead perspectives or just attempting to scale up to tens of thousands of 3D skinned mesh renderers in ECS which don't support culling which probably means heavy use of LOD groups and distant static mesh

This photo of Gaza City had to be illicitly taken during a Jordanian food drop because Israel has threatened to cancel drops of any photos are taken.

the payment processors don’t care! you will go to walmart or amazon and swipe your visa regardless. you can’t boycott the all encompassing system that surrounds us all. i’d say let this radicalize you but this is just about people trying to run small businesses so it’s just petite bourgeoisie anyway

stop thinking in terms of good and evil. that reductive shit is from the bible

i don’t know which pseudo woke cissexual needs to hear this but by rhetorically attacking the “gender binary” you aren’t actually doing fuck all except making things harder for trans people who are actively transitioning. good luck with your vulgar culturally assembled “”feminist”” “””activism”””

to either attack or defend itch.io or steam or any company is to already make the mistake of thinking there is such a thing as a good business.

to accept the possibility of a good business is to accept capitalism wholesale!

i hate how every internet search now requires looking at a generated ai answer’s sources for any real information while doing my best to ignore the ai answer itself which is often not backed up by the sources which do not appear anywhere in the actual search results

catching up on the itch.io situation.

expecting a company to make a righteous stand against multinational corporations is pretty silly

if you want to sell adult content you’re going to have to adapt

sex workers are under worse scrutiny than this to the point they have to launder

it’s what it is.

most of the criticism of my last game was directed at the subpar graphics which while accurate was frustrating because i personally don’t care much about that.

thinking more deeply about it this time, anyway

“move fast and break things” is an entrepreneurial perspective not good for engineering

entire industry swallowed up by arrogant fascists, dilettantes of their own craft. people pretend to wonder why programs don’t hardly get faster while CPUs multiply in performance because the answer is too embarrassing
