This is a vital watch at this point.
The Halo ICE meme is a litmus test for those that understand what government propaganda is and isn't.
Companies putting on politically adjacent events, and cosmetics in their games for things they actively support and believe in is not the same as the DHS using Halo as a "meme".

Working on a game that you have 0 passion for when you're trying to parent and whilst being rather ill is not easy.

2 months of being in severe pain before the doctors finally did some proper tests, and it turns out I have a very serious stomach infection. I don't think I've ever had to take so many antibiotics.

Nightreign has been a petty humbling experience so far, I spent ages solo to try and take down the first main boss, just to give up, try online with randoms just to give up because it's significantly harder with other people l, just to spend several more hours solo to finally kill the first boss.

This is a really short survey, it's 2 questions and at most a couple of words. If people could be so kind as to fill this in if they play video games and have a couple of minutes to spare, it's for my university assignment and would be greatly appreciated! #gamedev

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Game Dev is either the friends we make along the way, or spending 3 days trying to fix a bug that makes zero sense for why it's popping an error only for it to fix itself on the next open without any real reasoning

It's been great to have most of the day spent doing game dev, there's a lot of things I'd change if it were up to me, but still having fun in my own little space

I don't think I've worn Joggers since I was a small child, since becoming a dad I'm living in them, and a dressing gown, now I just need some lovely slippers, but who can afford those and a child?

So game dev has been on the back burner lately, since I've been in hospital all but 4 days this month, but on the plus side I've come out of it all a father to this little chappy. Now just the slow road to recovery and good health for him and my partner.

I have now been awake 33 hours, it is unpleasant, how and why did I do this when I was younger for fun?

So it's less than 3 weeks now until I become a dad. It's getting very very stressful now and I have no idea how women manage, but they all have my utmost respect and admiration.

Twas truly not fun almost hospitalising myself blowing up a single balloon at our baby shower today, the fact that I managed to balance myself enough whilst essentially unconscious that I was stood up leaves me with high hopes for dying standing like a badass.
