I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

I have some really exciting projects and plans coming up but I desperately need to get out of the financial situation I am in. Our rent is too high, my car is overdue for repair, I'm not eating enough

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.

Things are insanely tight right now while I’m between paychecks so I’m afraid I’ve gotta link this here again. Been dealing with a few unexpected costs the last couple days putting me a bit further behind than initially expected.

turning your campaign office into a mutual aid hub is such a simple way to show you’re materially invested in the well-being of your community. it’s kind of insane more people haven’t done this
Finally got a chalkboard for the campaign office!
Whenever we're open, feel free to come by 7016 N Clark St to ask a question, hang out, and grab what you need from our donation shelves.

Players discuss this most often when it comes to rendering?
Like - the point of Nanite/Lumen IS NOT gigashit graphics for players. It's to smooth over a million iteration-blocking workflow issues... at a known runtime performance cost.
