So I dropped the “solo” label some time ago and picked up “hobbyist” since it felt more accurate. Obviously I’ll be crediting all the people for the assets I’m using (bought or otherwise) - but I still feel like I’m the only one that “worked” on this game? Does that distinction even matter though?

Keep opening this app to say something, then I read for a minute and think, "Well, I believe they've said it all," then I close the app. You can do this too!

So on a personal level the thing that frequently frustrates me the most about "solo dev" has very little to do with random tiny games on itchio and a lot to do with the way the "solo dev" myth for successful games perpetuates poverty wages and intentionally poor crediting practices for contractors

it's the unmoisturized elbows for me.

If they're changing the Z-Axis in Unreal I'm not gonna upgrade until the dust settles on that. I sorta get the need, but man that's an annoying thing to change after so long.

Just say "this location is in a challenging neighborhood and we want to make things more difficult for the unhoused" and be done with it. dailyhive.com/vancouver/co...

PUNK MAGIC is a single player and multiplayer format I made for Magic the Gathering. Do gig work and fight the Wizards of the Citadel to make your own spells, augment cards in your collection, and build your own cube you can play with friends. notwriting.itch.io/punk-magic

It's the weekend.

Man, wait, what hat? Hey, that sucks.

Mario Kart World had me smiling like a god damned goofball. The game is a delight.

I keep getting notifications from Microsoft security app that someone is trying to log in to my account but it wont tell me if it's for my personal account or work account. I got 2FA obviously, but I'm curious if they are using a method that skips the password.

Seeing a nasty hacking scam going around that targets game workers - where compromised accounts ask you to test out a game, but it's a keylogger. Exact sort of thing so many indies would ask, but it's a scam - don't download it! (Hope Jupiter and others get their accounts back soon!)

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

The young lady at the store called it a “Nintendo 2.”

Deathloop is free on Epic right now. You should play it :3c

Some horrible CREATURE dug up some of the dirt around my innocent little CROTON! Mortimer! No! Who did this to you?! I swear I'll make them pay!

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Ugh, he just gets better. 😩

This is an incredibly bad bill for everyone who was hoping Canada would stand up to the United States. If you're Canadian, please contact your representatives and tell them this bill violates your rights and increases cruelly biased against asylum seekers.

one thing about police is that if an explicitly fascist party came to power and gave them direct orders to go out rounding up people to be sent to extermination camps i'd be surprised and impressed if more than 1 in 100 of them refused the order or quit

💯

“i hope this helps”

I'm not reading any Mario Kart coverage. I don't need to increase my sense of longing for a product. I really really want to though.

I find it odd. These nearly identical accounts post nothing but stolen art and quote post each other (and a fake Black trans mutual aid org) with literally the exact same text over and over. And they’ve been doing it since January. And have not been marked as spam or suspended.

Scanned another recent version of my 'Nordsee bei Nacht' etching!

The em-dash AI discourse is making me feel somewhat self conscious because I use it liberally and feel the writing style I post here already is sanded down to be as emotionless as possible.

I keep checking this hoping it'll change so the dates are closer together ...

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.
