to say it plainly: everyone was all about indie when only white men with access to Steam and other resources that allow you to focus on your art project were doing it in the 2010s. Now that others have broken in, funding has magically dried up and the industry is “dead”, according to the same guys.

If these companies are so convinced genAI is the dog's knees why do they always pretend it was just "placeholder art, not REAL, not-terrible art that we were planning to put there but forgot" when they get caught? You fired 80% of your workforce for this, now lay in that bed of filth!

Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.
The anti-spam key is "kook".

As someone for whom the Steamdeck became my nr. 1 most played console (I hardly touch others anymore) I am extremely interested in Valve's new hardware - but also, I am not in the market for new hardware right now so it's also...you know...fine.

Pro tip when you launch a game. You're gonna get *so many* key requests - ignore them all. Straight into the bin, report them as junk. They're 99.9999% scammers and key resellers.
Any streamer/reviewer worth their salt will buy the game or be one that *you* contacted.

Occasionally when I muse about potentially switching engines I am always thinking of Godot, and *never* Unity - I simply don't trust that they won't screw me over at some point in the future. Epic could decide to screw me too, sure, but so far they've only done the opposite of that.

I wonder if I'll be able to find my kid some Kirby/Famimart goods or if, like Kirby Cafe reservations, they're all snapped up middle aged geeks. 😓

I think the one thing, of all the things that is kinda breaking my suspension of disbelief in Plur1bus, is how the other 5 were reacting. Like... Kim Wrexler is absolutely right like wtf?

Today Unreal decided to just be an obtuse pr*ck and throw up obscure bugs and weird side effects at me that I spent all day failing to sort out. Yes, yes, it's a skill issue, but today seems especially egregious. I'm not *this* stupid (I think). 😰
