"my intention" 🤮

submitted 3 days ago • 1 comment

I've spent a few days smoothing out the player flow in the first #CRT7 puzzle(s), and I'm really happy with how it's all feeling now! (It was an absolute *nightmare* getting any form of undo working, so of course I decided to use it to hint that things are a bit... wrong here.) #GameDev #Puzzles

This will discourage artists from releasing their work publicly. Why would I want to make my music public access if some fucko without a single original thought, an ounce of talent, or the hours of work to learn, can just steal and repurpose it into absolute slop and charge for it?

people went to prison in this country for sharing movies and TV shows on the internet for free, because this was “stealing.” but actual plagiarism gets government approval, all so that the worthless slop machine that is AI can continue to make rich people more rich.

I sold a map to Dylan Moran. I used a urinal next to Arthur Brown, God of Hellfire. Said hello. Oh, and there was the time Morrisey came to the bowling alley and tried to refuse to change his shoes. Wouldn't call that a minor celebrity interaction though because he was a major asshole about it.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Um. No. You can't just agree to disagree on this one. You turn down the job. You refuse to financially assist JK Rowling, a woman who will actively use her profits from this project to hurt trans people. And you published this while using a rainbow avatar during Pride. The fuck.

Nono, you see, I am not developing a game, I am building a 1:1 cosmos simulator, which will run the universe in which I, as the sole originator of all space, time, matter and energy, will work on my solo game dev project, alone.

Okay fair play this review just made me laugh out loud! If you need any convincing that you should come and try Upfall (and dozens of other awesome games) tomorrow night at #ECGx / CodeBase, might I present you with the latest review it's received on Steam? Really quite good/10
