True in general too, we shouldn't be celebrating the misfortune of other people period, yet there's a lot of people out there who are :(

Twitch's change is a terrible decision - saving pennies on storage means less go-live notifications will reach people because you're forcing archive watchers to go to other platforms. 0.5% is misleading as well - wonder how much of that is also in the top 0.5% of streamers (50+ avg concurrents)

Not sure if this is just something with unreal engine, or a design decision (and not sure it shows up well on bsky), but that "shimmering" on the edge of shadows is just as bad as motion blur for motion sickness. It's present in a LOT of games recently with the push towards RTX. (1/3)

A short thread on advice for GameDevs doing outreach to creators: Finding people to cover your game: - Search for games similar or related to yours on your preferred platforms, that will be your creator base for "who to contact" - if you have time, skim their content too, it will help later. (1/6)

I literally just don't have the energy or mental bandwidth to post about the atrocities as they happen... I'll die on the hill to protect people's rights, but I'm old and tired, so I'm not yelling on the way up there.

One lesson I learned from the first petulant pumpkin presence is to ask people how they're doing while explicitly telling them to exclude his actions. I stay informed, I just don't want my day filled with reminders of his atrocities, and prefer to keep it limited to a couple hour skim/dig session.

Just a friendly reminder - now, more than ever, it is important to support and defend archive.org - they are an important and centralized source of information from official sources, that is being actively deleted/censored by certain administrations.

Please, please, PLEASE - if you're going to use motion blur in your games include an option to turn it off. If I can't even make it through the tutorial without feeling like I'm going to drown my desk in vomit, it makes it a bit hard.

I don't think most people realize how many of your favorite creators deal with mental health issues - some a lot harder to deal with than others. Just because you have anxiety, depression, etc. doesn't mean you can't pursue creating and enjoying things - in the proper doses, it can even help.

There are plenty of things I'll repeat over and over again - like advice, stories, and positive things. I'm not going to sit here and repeatedly grab screenshots on a garbage human being's profile that doesn't deserve my attention, just to satisfy some internet denizen's bad faith argument.

Been doing this a good amount today, albeit mostly to new accounts. There's been a lot of morons coming from Asmongold's video defending a bigot, yet again.
