"We'll give you a million dollars for you to move and then we tear down your house and build multiple units on your 10,000 sqft land." ...eh, I'm kind of dumb and don't want you to tear down my starter house, the garage epitomizes 'slapdash' to the point where I feel a level of responsibility to it

Is it weird that every time I see someone's feet I count the toes? Also, stop showing your feet people, have some shame.

Sooooo, to code some NPC automatically checking out a butt, the butt in the video game would usually have some sort of sphere of influence around it. That means there is probably some debug mode where butt spheres follow every poor NPC around. I wonder what values a butt sphere has?

NAY - NAY!! this feline's whims will not defeat me or my household - the windows and doors and entrances for vehicles will not be open for her to wander in and out at her delight, the cold malicious wind following on her tippity tail and pawsies, she must listen! LISTEN! To our DEMMMMMANNDDSSS! ☝️

*can't stop shivering* I put on thicker shirts and another hoodie. *the coldness digs in deeper* Another hoodie, socks, a woolen hand-knit cap from some Kurt Vonnegut fan, the cold still burrows... my spine shakes and my shoulders violently vibrate ... Winter has come to the PNW, it's 60°, help

Batman's biggest and most unescapable deadly 'villain' being Bruce Wayne is something not talked about enough, and I don't think DC ever knew what they had on their hands is one of the biggest mishandlings of an IP ever. @gailsimone.bsky.social - you seem to know everything in this realm, whyyy?

I am a man of two universes... On one hand, the mech universes are amazing. On the other hand, mechs would be the least useful war machines ever invented, full of almost absurd levels of amusing failures.

Maria Bamford is truly one of the best and that'll be probably true for ever. For ever and ever, no lie or exaggeration She has a unique mind and life that she shares with us in her comedy We've traveled half the continent just to see her and her friends perform and the trip was worth every second

Partner's sibling's family built a "chemo bag" for when the chemo starts. What a lovely idea and wow, this is thorough. Down to special utensils since metal forks/spoons and stuff can start to taste bad. It's all so soft and comfy, too. Luckkkkky.

(Last small thread for tonight) Compare this qt to the normal structure: 1. Budgeting is for the entire game. 2. Money comes in from a publisher in milestones or completion if indie/raw Early Access. 3. No customer feedback 4. Almost an all or nothing funding 5. massive one-time marketing push ...

When I left Bungie, my new indie (me) studio Good Enough Games (never happened for other reasons) - was going to use this pricing model to try and fund things. A lot of thought, game design, and development scheduling/design, was put into this to try and address the ultralow/milestone budget studio

#gamedev Crap, forgot an important part on the first post, start here. Early Access (EA): cheapest price = die hard fans and believers, $5-10 bucks. >>They get first level/episode/drop...<< Players that come in here get the rest for free. Minimal risk if game doesn't get completed. Continued...

Chad Jessup @adhdev.io · 24/09/2026

#gamedev I think the game industry needs a new pricing model. Slight change in how we develop things too...need thoughts. Early Access (EA): cheapest price = die hard fans and believers, $5-10 bucks, I dunno. Players come in at this price and they get the rest of the game for free. Next step ...

Really curious how Bungie is going to do their unvaulting in the future. Hard disks on systems aren't usually big enough for it all at full resolution (+/- another AAA game). They going to add streaming of assets into the engine? That'd be rad if so.

Super hard to find collared dove family is hanging in my backyard. Very skittish...5 of them! (Super zoom) They're slowly invading over here, but still a bit rare in my (collared) neck of the woods. Bad pun! Anyways they're pretty and big critters.

FYI, me posting old destiny 2 ads a couple days as I reminisced, obviously made Bungie reconsider their previous stance on vaulting.

Arguing with a friend on FB about AI (he's mainly doing devil's advocate here which is how he understands things) - and I think it really just boils down to, "why add to the hardships and suffering of others?" How can you be a proponent of helping some but then steal from others?

TWICE. Twice. My favorite game IPs have been obliterated in front of me, while I was working in the studios themselves. I remember the meetings and test builds, when my heart broke. The soldiers next to me - left and right, all of us, everyone, shaking our heads in sadness. What are we to create?

Are you ever told a game, story, or show, whatever, by a person/leadership and the game, story, show, or whatever, is so much better in your brain vs what was released? Yea, me either, not a thing in my brain in my entire 20ish years of the game industry. *sniff*

This is a cat that thinks she will get a lick of ice cream, because my partner gave her a lick of ice cream a year ago in that position.

I wish a lot of the people commenting on this thought things through a bit more (especially people in the industry). Devs in Poland make about a third of what they would in the States. Running a studio there is cheaper as well. Can probe the numbers in multiple ways. (160 people@$160 million/3yrs)
