Discord had one job: be easier to use than TeamSpeak. Instead, I have it hassling me CONSTANTLY about pointless garbage that means nothing to me.

Discord is now offering "ORBS" on mobile and has a "learn more about ORBS" intro quest which is a video which does absolutely nothing to explain WHY you'd want ORBS it's literally just mindless engagement 🤦

I wonder if any interesting announcements will come out of #Unity Unite this week? Based on what they've been saying over the past year, CoreCLR, ECS integration with gameObjects, the new animation system and unified rendering seem likely.

I'm here to tell you that voice actors (even very very good ones) are not expensive, more than make up for their cost in the value they bring to your game, and if Baldur's Gate can record real actors for every line of dialogue in the game, so can you for your 100 generic barks or even specific ones.

What a ridiculous situation. This is a great game.

Starting November 15, this game and all its DLCs will no longer be available for purchase on any platform!!

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants
