An "entitlement" like social security is called that because people that pay into the system are entitled to receive funds from it. Because they paid for it! It's not some handout. Go open a My Social Security account and see how much you've paid in and maybe call your reps idk.

This is true of nearly all user research in software development. Users will tell you they want something or that they "definitely" will use a feature, but their behavior using an app is a far more reliable indicator of what you should work on.

That's credits on Avowed. I could crush one of these first person fantasy RPG's a year and be happy. I think studios are still reaching for the kind of companions we got in the original Mass Effect trilogy, failing more often than not, but this game makes a decent effort.

new fan art of the avowed companions pls enjoy

Yeah I'm not playing this anymore.

GB Infinite may be gone, but @giantbombforever.bsky.social is a great community project playing GB content 24/7 with community voting.

how would I define love? so glad you asked. it's me making dinner and watching an old movie with my fiance instead of loading up Avowed and playing it till my eyes burn

Are you the spouse that blasts through rolls of toilet paper or are you the spouse that posts about your s/o doing it

My partner and I are watching 90s slop to cope, movies she hadn't seen: [X] heavy weights [X] Happy Gilmore [ ] Billy Madison What else

and here are the receipts www.propublica.org/article/depa...

@janochoa.bsky.social @nikigrayson.com rude tbh

To provide an idea of the incompetence in the executive right now - my partner has seen them kill two contracts and scrap work that was essentially ready to go/deploy and would have provided value, period. It's not efficiency. It's attacks on institutions and it's anti-intellectual.

"research" for the next game I want to make. roguelikes! www.twitch.tv/chucktowski starting with Wildfrost

This is my current easy recommendation

My needs are very simple

I don't think Microsoft is going to out compete Sony in games ever again, but there's a competitive advantage in Xbox's cloud services being in-house that will probably keep lifting their streaming product.

We have to face facts: WW2 combat flight sims disappeared from the mainstream and fascism began making a return. Indeed they were replaced by their Wario / Scratch: the live service combat arcade game, where military hardware was stripped of context and rendered morally neutral and brand safe.

doing my once in a blue moon stream twitch.tv/chucktowski playing Monster Hunter Wilds & pondering if my internet will support this venture

is it authoritarian left of me to say I'd probably let Miquella just do what he wants

I'm livid & frustrated that Bloodborne PSX has been DMCA'd. When I started @noclipvideo.bsky.social the idea was to preserve stories because the games or creators may not be available in the future. I didn't expect our one first so soon. So sorry @b0tster.yeag.gay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZBN...

Click Click Bomb developer @chucktowski.com opened up to me and I didn't waste the opportunity

I would braise it and serve with a seaweed salad

me: refactor and optimize my game, test it on mobile, desktop, and an electron app version with multiple NG+ and have a user test it also me: forget to completely wipe progress and test just normal ass clicking

clickclickbomb.com changelog - Collection screen added (Press C during gameplay) - Collection will not retroactively 'collect' cards, but anytime you buy or combine cards it will track them - event subscription has been optimized for far fewer state updates, resulting in better CPU/RAM usage

good stuff, heard chef
