I don't wish we could abolish gender, I just wish it were less an identity and more of a hobby. So you'd get people who are like "Oh yeah, l'm a woman when I have the time," or "I'm a man but I'm not very good at it yet" along with the CrossFit gender types who are SUPER INTO IT

Your semi annual reminder that β€˜the little thing that annoys you when you’re testing your own game’ is also gonna be the thing that stings in a review years from now. It’s always ok to just fix the little annoying thing.

Idk what language you're using but you can store tokens as just indices into one giant string buffer

That leads to the fewest cache misses ime. And if you need to store a string somewhere just store a view instead of a copy

The kicker is also that they don't really follow the spec. They just create the illusion that they did. For anything complex they just fail, even if they have a 1:1 example of how to do it, and a time-proven suite to test against.

What's the point of using OpenGL with Python if you're going to be using compatibility profile? At least use 4.5 or something.

Dutch games press is getting gutted left and right, with what was literally my childhood games news magazine Power Unlimited going down just the other day. So, a bunch of good folks decided "we'll do it ourselves". If you're Dutch, go check out Unpause!

He was born from the forest itself.
A stag spirit is prancing through the forest at night under the silvery light of the moon. His proud antlers are adorned with lanterns to light lost souls their way.

Here is the talk I did with the Cartoonists Northwest group

youtu.be/bJ2OXLEtq8k?...

I am very scared of watching myself, but if youd like to hear about my work (me waffling) you can now.

I’m sorry I am not a deadhorse!

Once you're used to it, dual boot is pretty smooth ime.

A more advanced option would be to run Windows through a VM in Linux, if you didn't wanna dual boot.

I personally just dual boot, all it takes is selecting your off-OS when you need it

Not uncommon for me to see someone post a "game idea" and go on to just describe a 4 panel comic

The master just looked at the monk and said, "It'll pass."

Frustrated, the monk left and continued to diligently meditate.

Two weeks later, the monk returned, overjoyed. He'd finally had a breakthrough, thanks to master's advice.

But the master just looked at him and said, "It'll pass."

There's a related story about a monk who went to his master to ask for advice, because he was stuck in his meditations and beginning to doubt if any of it even worked, on top of being jealous of his peers who were experiencing epiphanies and visions, seemingly inching closer to enlightenment.

Calling Silksong a game stuck in "development heaven" is so funny to me

Also; mandatory "any distro is fine"

Anyone who likes their distro will shill it to you, and so the best solution is to pick something that doesn't seem too daunting like Ubuntu or Pop!OS and see how it feels.

If I didn't need to use windows exclusive software for my hobbies and work I'd exclusively use Linux.

Try dual booting! It's free and doesn't mess with your windows install as long as you follow instructions.

Linux has a slight learning curve but it's nowhere near as daunting as it seems.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

The opening cutscene to resident evil 1, when the zombie turns around from eating the dude.

Could barely sleep for a week. Loved it
