Tell people you love them when you feel it, let them know they're appreciated when they do things for you.
Don't take for granted that people just know, that stuff is too important to go unsaid! It's so important to say it in plain and direct language.

Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

feeling a little fatigued from playing a 70-hour RPG in Japanese, I decided to start a PS1 action game instead and ohhhh we're so so back

Between taking a vacation and getting sick, I thought I wouldn't have much to show for the last couple weeks, but I managed to whip together this camera system in just a few days, so I figured I'd show it off! Very happy with this one. 🔉Sound on if you'd like to hear me explain some of how it works!

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE
Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency.
They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

People who can't work well with other people are bad coworkers full-stop EVEN IF they excel at their particular craft. Most industries require some sort of collaboration, gamedev especially. You will chase far more good people away keeping your one bad one.
I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

I’m usually pretty zen about where people draw the line on what they support, but Spotify sucks in so many ways. They pay artists peanuts, push AI generated music and are running ICE ads. You could buy mp3s and CDs and could have music you own and can listen to offline without paying monthly.
Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Unearth progress!! Here's where I'm at with 2 weeks of focus on bringing Geena's core moveset up to par with the GameMaker version of the game (and then improving beyond it imo). I've made a wide variety of tweaks to how she feels to control and I'm pretty happy with where things are right now.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.
These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.
The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!
Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.
FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.
