Vet bill was just under $1700 for Wiener Cerberus. Which isn’t bad considering the visit was for 3 dogs— bloodwork, stool, exam, fluids, and meds.

Please either mutual aid someone in need or toss some cash to the weens.

Since an early monastery was founded in this secluded valley by St Feichín in the 7th century, Fore has been well regarded as one of Ireland's most intact and important historic landscapes.

So, in today's edition of our #MonumentMonday newsletter, we take a look at what makes Fore so wonderful!

Hoping to make it back to being more social in a little while in the near future, post-Thanksgiving. If nothing else, I will hopefully be posting pictures of a new puppy in a few weeks. 😀

Take care everyone!

Annagh Stone Row • Mayo

Though typically thought of as a place of Christian pilgrimage, the hinterland of Croagh Patrick has long been a sacred place.

This can be inferred from the number of prehistoric monuments in the immediate hinterland of the mountain. Like this stone alignment at Annagh.

Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology.

Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

I played the demo of this & think there’s something special here. For $15 I highly urge you to pick this up and take a look as it evolves episodically.

(disclaimer: I have friends on the team, but probably I would be more effusive if I didn’t because this is a model I want to see supported)

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

Hey all, appreciate all the on-going support here for this. Additional details:
- horror/thriller/psychological is the theme
- current working title is "containment"
- in regards to vibes of what I am looking for in the cover, looking for "simple" like the attached image

Thanks!
