Man, I can't stress how much I despise devs, and the communities, that justify their choices with "Why would you do it that way?"
Like, because I want to? Because that's how it makes sense? Looking at you OBS and your "But you will have a separate source!" for Paste Duplicate.
That's👏The👏Point👏

Everything is honestly fine.
I just have a lot of adult stuff I have to sort out as well as try to create a bigger backlog of episodes so that I don't feel like I'm drowning when balancing finding guests and releasing at the same time.
Adulting is hard and exhausting sometimes 🫠

Hey all! I have to make the difficult decision to go on a release hiatus till the new year.
Tl;Dr: Adult stuff needs attention. Can keep recording, but the loop with releasing is too much work right now.
Attached image says all of this in more words and a pretty (?) picture.

I heard from someone today that Bluesky is just full of extremists and crazy people and it's doomed to fail...
Y'all, whose hiding all the crazies? Everyone here seems mostly sane. Am i missing out on all the fun?
Or am i supposed to be truly unhinged here promoting cheese olives or something?

Every time I read people complaining/criticizing a solution to a problem as not the best, or that there are better options or what have you...
Remember, perfection is the enemy of good.
Progress is progress and only pushing for "perfect" ignores that progress.
Baby steps teach to walk then run

I really hate that people keep saying "Canada Post is a public service and doesn't need to be profitable"...
No, it was until '81. Then it turned to a crown corp with a mandate to be profitable.
The rhetoric needs to be "Canada post needs to be a public service again".
Technicalities matter here.

Well this is weird -
In grinding for items in Castlevania Symphony of the Night I have noticed Alucards pos + weapon + enemy pos has a seemingly repeatable drop rate?
Either that or I am super bloody lucky and the game gave me 2 1/1024 drops near back to back because I've had a super bad week 🙃

Had a presentation at work today about what good AI could do for us...
In a 1hr presentation MS CoPilot rejected the same prompts from the previous test run and then hallucinated a random user was the creator of the current project despite the presenter saying it was the owner.

Good on @poncle.games for wanting to go in this direction and help publish games and support the #gamedevs that make them.
The focus on compact games is also cool because I've noticed they seem to rely on "making it" to be successful.
Love to see it and wish them all the success in the world

"I see a lot of publishers I don't like": Vampire Survivors creator made his own publisher to "share the luck" and says too many companies "try to exploit the platforms just to make money"

With the ttrpg group being on a bit of a hiatus due to someone just having to become a parent (/s lol), i fear for when we get back to it...
Mostly because I'm left to my own devices and I'm just thinking of one shots where all I've written is "redwall captain planet?" Or "chip n dale heist?" 🙃

Hello!
And here is one of the reasons i do the @theredtunicpodcast.com . It was a natural evolution of my own reasons and is why i try to always ask "what do you do outside of games".
And it leads to cool things like favorite rocks, birds, flowers, movies, etc.
Because, shocker, devs are people

Yoshi-P wants to remind fans that developers are also people too
He says that harsh words and non constructive criticism can potentially demoralize developers that they don't want to make games anymore and as a result gamers could miss out on that next great game...
