New American political thriller on Netflix. Has quintessential "bad russians". Heroes intercept an encoded message and can only decipher one word. Maidan. "We have no translation" one hero mentions. "It means orange" another clarifies, "after the orange revolution of 2004". It's a goddamn square...

We're entering year 4 of this senseless, brutal war. With millions of scarred, broken, and stopped hearts laid to its altar I can't comprehend why haven't we ended it by now. Ended all of it. The tyranny, the despots who play with us like dolls, the impotence of people we put in power.

As my Steam Partner signup saga continues I discover that it affects not just people living in less respected places like me, but also all over the globe. I found a person from freaking Netherlands who has the same issue, verbatim. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...

I dunno which circle of hell is "being stuck in a tug-of-war with a support representative where they reject your legal information and demand that you lie instead"... but I hate being there.

Not to exude this holier-than-thou aura on y'all, but one thing I genuinely miss about having stable income (or any income at all) is being able to support creators, makers, and devs that I like with donations and subscriptions. It's a 👍 way to empower creative and enthusiastic people to persevere.

3 weeks later and despite the PSN requirement not longer being enforced, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 still cannot be legally purchased in 140 countries. On Steam you cannot even be gifted a key, nor can you buy a CD and activate it this way. Sony... 🖕

Still working on that GUI scaling in Godot piece, and improving the demo with new features and revised engine-related fixes! The demo now also includes Control-based scaling, with all of its pros and cons. While the article still cooks, there are notes in the project 👀 github.com/YuriSizov/go...

That warm fuzzy feeling of sending a bump request to a stale support ticket only to receive a notification that a new support ticket has been created as a result. They literally told me "Hey, we're CC'ing someone who can help" and never communicated again and closed the ticket. Fucking TaxIdentity.

Why did YT recommend me videos of people arguing about 0.(9) being equal to 1? My head is going to hurt now! Do schools not teach about limits and numbers infinitely approaching but never reaching their limits? Or semantic difference between effectively equivalent and equal? Argh.

The Roottrees are Dead is just my kind of game. But I wish the core mechanic was a bit less rigid. I apparently missed a whole periodical which locked me out of some details. But the thing is, I was looking up those topics in other sources where it was strange to find no relevant results.
