I make software, most of which is games these days.

When I'm not doing that you might find me out exploring in my old Jeep.

Your village defense game is not yuri. It's also not a sidescroller, a roguelike, or a colony sim.

@hanakogames when I release my non Yuri dungeon crawler I'm going to submit it to you just to see your response here.

Purchasing health insurance through covered california is hell. I've lost track of the number days I've spent doing paperwork, waiting on phone calls, etc. and I still have shit to do, like "proving that I'm not incarcerated" and "provide proof that I'm not deceased". WTF.

@castano you can thank scammers for all that shit show. Benefits were routinely being filed for incarcerated people without their knowledge and for dead people.

It's just fucked now.

for me this is the best thing to come out of Disney's purchase of Star Wars.

@djlink thank god they only ever made three Star Wars movies. Just like they only made three Indy Movies.

Ah, I wonder why Photoshop wants access to users work? 100% sure it's for training "AI" stuff. Just with more people tried alternative software, Adobe has such a huge monopoly, might be one of the worst cases in software.

@djlink Adobe and Autodesk need to be burned to the ground. I only stick with them because my job requires it. I will drop them out of my workflow ASAP when things change.

    @grumpygamer warning. Pacman ghosts ahead.

    Looking good! Do you have a launch date in mind yet? I've been following this project since before RTMI.

    I like how the metaverse didn't happen

    Facebook evaporated billions of dollars on it and then just... nothing

    Even autocorrect is like "that's not a word"

    ClutchAbuse,
    @ClutchAbuse@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie well I wouldn't say evaporated. People who worked on it got paid.

    ClutchAbuse,
    @ClutchAbuse@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie oh for sure. And it was so obvious from the beginning that it was never going to work in a million years.

    I was a VR dev for quite a while! If I couldn't get my wife, a tech worker, to be in VR for more than five minutes, how was the average joe supposed to care?

    ClutchAbuse,
    @ClutchAbuse@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @ghosttie I doubt even then. People like to dick around too much. Anything short of a complete sensory override a la "Roy " from Rick and Morty isn't going to be anything but a gimmick. AR has potential though.

    grumpygamer, to random
    @grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    Screw it. If you kill a NPC they are dead. There are only a small handful of quests that are required so I just need to protect those NPCs. If you go around killing NPCs then it's less quests for you.

    ClutchAbuse,
    @ClutchAbuse@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @grumpygamer in the original Fable, you could break into people's houses at night and murder them in their beds. They would never respawn and were just gone after that. Not sure if it was a bug or designed this way, but I was basically able to depopulate every town in the game. It got lonely.

    Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

    @mcc it's just a cash grab plain and simple. The talented contributors will stop and the site will get overloaded with out of date AI crap. But the owners won't care, they got the big payday they really wanted.

    @grumpygamer depends. If it's on PC, I'm going straight to the setting menu. Anything else and I just start the game.

    How close are we to replacing power sockets with univeral power/data cables? So, for example, your fridge plugs into the wall using USB-C.

    ClutchAbuse,
    @ClutchAbuse@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @upmultimedia many modern electronic devices could function like that but things like a fridge, a stove or a heater? Forget about it. There's a reason AC current is supplied over 16-12ga wires.

    I'm former electrician btw.

    For the dev of my new game I've ditched Slack in favor of Discord for the dev team. One advantage of Discord is that most devs have a Discord account so I am not asking them to sign up for something new. So far, it's a big win. Slack has turned into a mess.

    Don't do this, people. It helps no one and if anything pushes people away from our community.
