Web Dev professionally and Indie Game Dev... less than professionally.

This time I'm just gonna peacefully talk about video games, mine and others. The death of Twitter is for the best for me.

I like that when you mute a thread here it gets rid of all past notifications as well. Great of peace of mind

Sometimes I find myself irritable all day without knowing why, until I realize the person I am irritated with is a minor antagonist in a book I have been reading

I like that this year's Spotify Wrapped effects were clearly designed in Kid Pix Studio

Sometimes I read bad fiction because they resolve conflicts way too quickly and I just can't handle the stress of a well told story

I always felt npc dialogue had a little too much life and humanity to it, thank God we found a solution to that

Sometimes you are a normal person with good taste and nothing in particular wrong with you, but you still don't enjoy something that is good.

That's perfectly normal.

You do not need to spend a lot of effort explaining why it is actually bad and everyone who created it or enjoys it is also bad.

It's ok to be bad at a game, even if you are good at other ones. It's also ok to not like a game.

Neither is a result of game designers being incompetent failures that lack your insight into "good game design."

We are all bad at / not the target audience of some games.

Stop being annoying.

Can we mute words on this website yet? Scrolling through the game dev feed and coming accross some AI generated crap is like peacefully swimming and finding sh*t floating in the water.

Lol, Unreal Engine 5 added a "Crypto" setting in project settings and by Unreal Engine 5.3, it had been removed.

Well the new app still refreshes while I'm halfway through reading something. It's just like old times.

Ok Baldur's Gate, so I can pet the dog but if I try to pet the cat the only option that comes up is *throw*?

I will not stand for this bias

Starfield is pretty fun but it is decidedly not beautiful. It ranges from neutral to offensively neutral.

And that's ok, it's a Bethesda game. But let's be honest folks, if you turn on your blue light filter it's just a gray screen.

Makima: Hello, I am evil.

Makima later: Extremely evil. Probably the most in the story.

Makima the rest of the anime: Guess what ya girl is up to? Yep, Evil.

Manga fans, snickering: Don't get too attached, Makima might not actually be nice, 😉😉

Is anyone making an Amelia Bedelia horror comedy movie yet cause I think there is some real potential there

Baldur's gate is a lot like Twitter in that no matter what someone says to you or how polite they are, the dialogue always gives you the option to go straight for their throat the second you meet them.

Baldur's Gate really captures DnD with interactions like:

NPC: "Hey I can literally retrieve your soul and breathe life into you if you die"

Player: "But you're so ugly tho?"
