Placing my bets on Lilac, lol

This is how to reduce headaches for multi-OS ports on PC, too. 💙

Most extensions and libs for Game Maker only work on Windows, and have less predictable results. 99% of a game's GML "just works" on Mac and Linux when it's vanilla.

A friend ported my project to Linux and nothing in-game broke, lol

(Also I'm still keeping mods that reduce time-wasting loops. Give me a mean game if you want, but please don't make me spend most of Act 2 farming the big bugs for rosaries to buy tools and shards, lmao.)

Silksong has made me rethink difficulty in games like it. If the story, gameplay, music, and characters are compelling enough, you will do it. You will want to see it through to the end, even if you complain a bit along the way.

The challenge was well above my comfort, but I see the vision here.

Whenever I replay this game, I am 100% getting *all* of the needle upgrades, instead of missing that last one a friend told me about last night. The final boss is especially tough without it.

I don't know how some people go through this game with minimal upgrades. My 36 year old brain is tired, lol

The only way to customize a desktop for such an old OS: A stinky 256-color JPG of your favorite cartoon at the time. (Cursed custom pointers and sound effects pending)

I was obsessed with the Samurai Pizza Cats back then, lol

I agree. Terraforming Mars is beyond our scope until mining asteroids is an everyday job, (~decades away) and the abundance of metals changes.

Humanity today can't build an artificial magnetic field to protect Mars. And we shouldn't strip this wonderful world bare to make a sad existence on another

Mars has a mineral diversity problem, too. (And we don't yet know the extent of its metal resources, either.)

For as much as I love Mars, humans going there should be a science platform, like Antarctica. Super billionaires only want it for gilded towers beyond all reach and earthly consequences.

Turns out our skin retains much of the oil mediums for meds for some time, and scar tissue from prior injections needs time to heal.

I didn't expect that process to take longer than a week when I stuck myself in the same spot a third time, like, "I'll change my injection site for the fourth stick!"

I explored deltatime for my next game. (Working on the proto while finishing my current game.)

My opinion is not usual. Its use in Game Maker is dated and more work than on Godot. And delta has camera / movement quirks you have to test for at different frame-rates.

I'll just make a 120hz mode, lol

I have a 1050ti myself, in my older desktop that I installed Kubuntu on, and its sheer age as a GPU model might be the only reason its proprietary drivers + setup was smooth

AMD is often much better on Linux, yes, even with open-source drivers. (I was running Dolphin just fine with an AMD A10, lol)

Misunderstandings are my sole concern, as well. And it looks like I only halfway understood what I read about progesterone 💔 Thank you for the clarity.

Reading into this, yes, there's no "off-target hormonal activity" with this med. (For our purposes, no antiandrogen effects.)

It's too late at night for me to rephrase what all I read, and I think simplifying it would create more misunderstandings. So, I'll link this here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medroxy...

I had a conversation about this with someone yesterday, and my point was like this:

If these friends were your allies they would leave Twitter with you, instead of keeping you there. A real friend will talk with you on platforms where it's safer for you to be yourself.

We need to say it louder!

We need more studies on progesterone, to better match with those who benefit from it.

For some, it was a more effective anti-androgen than other options. (Like yourself) And for others, like my friends- Oh no.

I was still curious, but my NP was against it. (And I heard it makes you pee more, lol)
