It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

In my Zelda 2 like, I don’t wanna do that thing Zelda 2 did where some random tile is hiding an area you need to go to, but that doesn’t mean things won’t be hidden by other means #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelgames #retrogaming

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

It is interesting how we've cycled through a period of wanting software that does MORE and MORE to a time when many of us would like software that does LESS. Just relatively simple programs that do exactly what you expect and want them to and no more. Big market out there for this, I think.

Srd's hud is allowing me to put a quest guide of sorts on screen at the push of a button. The quest journal is nice, but verbose and hidden. These simple point form directions really help keep me on track while playtesting. Might get changed into waypoints once i get a world map. #gamedev #rpgmaker

For those of you fellow indie devs still making games in 2025; how do you stay motivated? Between the never-ending saturation of the market, ai-gen'd slop, and the current state of the world, I find it hard to keep working on my games. I'd be curious to know what drives the rest of the community.

Yo, shout out to the first person to Stream my demo! Lots of great feedback and got to squash bugs that didnt appear when play testing (among other things). Hopefully others will get to enjoy it as well. Thank you so much!

Me: please don’t use ChatGPT, even tasks that you’d never pay a creative for in the first place, and so are not depriving humans of work, are massively resource-intensive and killing the planet. Half Of Facebook, Apparently: this is what I’d look like as a Barbie!
