Not quite #Mosstodon today, but #macrophotography still kinda counts in there, no? 😅

Been a while I didn't have the opportunity to take pictures like that, thanks vacations! 😄

I've been particularly useless these last days, at work, at gamedev, at thinking... I guess there's weeks like that.
It definitely was a week there.

@psychicparrot42 sniffes the air suspiciously There's something there, definitely 😆

In case you haven't heard of it: the Stop Killing Games action against publishers removing games without any possibility to play what you previously bought is ongoing, and you should probably look at it and participate 😊

https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

If we don't do anything, it will go the way of the DLCs and lootboxes and all that, and will get out of hand.

@psychicparrot42 Yeah I also wish it wasn't confined to just that one Ubisoft game, but I guess that needs to have a legal basis with proof of buying and all, and it has to start somewhere indeed...

Man am I glad I waited for Epic to offer the Guardians of the Galaxy game for free, I would have been pissed paying that much for that 😆

Alright, tried, uninstalled! 😄

@leonardbertos That's what I had heard as well, but still was skeptical...
Neither the gameplay nor the writing are any interesting to me, both a full of repetitive padding that goes nowhere...

And the modern marvel style of writing "quippy line-quippy line-never-stopping-banter-quippy line-rinse-and-repeat", I can't stand it in the movies, I won't stand it in a game either 😆

I'm sure there's an audience for this, but that's not me! 😁

@eniko I now know what you meant about the new iron distribution 😑

@eniko I also just found a big bunch of it on a very tall snow mountain... I guess it's either high or low...?

@eniko@peoplemaking.games avatar

@elFlashor yeah very high it also spawns in higher amount but i wasn't very successful at getting that high i guess since even at over Y 100 i couldnt find any

Sick. Again. 😞
I guess work will wait a few more days then.

In other words... I fell back in 🙄 (your fault @eniko 😅 )

Really appreciated this article, on the uniformization of looks across the movies industry.

Especially this last part with the examples, expanding it over the rest of our society.

It is saddening, that most aspect of our society paints us collectively like this, focused on numbers in a bank account more than anything else...

Read in an article about AI and video games, and that sums it up perfectly.

AI is just another corporate bullshit idea to try to make them more money by cutting corners, these corners being people's jobs.

My latest "real world pixel art" creation using a reclaimed painting, a Stardew Valley themed village scene 😊

I had been looking for a painting like this for a while, so when I saw this one I couldn't resist! I think Stardew Valley is the perfect theme for it!
It's pretty big, I have no idea if I can even keep it, my walls are filled already 😅

Damn when I read critics of other people's books that sound like this one:

I suddenly feel much better about the flaws I see in my own! 😅

@leonardbertos I mean their result makes sense, on a purely statistical level...
Another proof to add to the "if your target audience is everybody, your target audience is nobody" argument 😄
