Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Been doing an awful job posting updates, lately. On the one hand I have been completely locked in and focusing on work, and on the other, ...it's mostly been UI/editor work, which is not exactly very flashy to show off, heh.

I got really emotional tonight about how awesome indie game dev is and how incredible it is that people can make their ideal games into a reality. Please keep working your games, no matter how big or small your progress is. You doing this benefits us all. I'm so proud of you, no matter what. 🥹

Thank you for the support during SAGE week! Every time anyone's streamed the demo or shown their support in any way, they've made me very happy and given me a bit of reassurance in the middle of the emotional whirlwind that's game development. Demo will stay available and updated at future events! 💙

Yep. And business people don't want that. They wanna turn everything into the McDonalds model where the work is rote, and the employees are cheap and replaceable. I would say "that's not good for something like games" but tbh it's not good for food companies either.

Been waiting all week for Valve to review the Hype RIders store page; reviews don't happen on weekends, so Monday is going to be the earliest, now... Which is just how it is—I know better than to complain about review times, but I was hoping to get lucky 😅

Between Steam Frame sign ups and CFz registration, things were really poorly timed; a month or two later and I might have actually been tempted to be less responsible, financially

I have to share because it's hilarious. The AI read a comment saying someone didn't like that permanent walls appear after hitting a mine, then told me "the cause of the bug is that they have their hardness set to +Infinity"... Yeah... that's the point... Maybe *I* put that value there? #gamedev

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

For those that are missing it, there’s a turn off button for this feature once it rolls out to you. Since it’s an experiment, there’s probably not a simple link we can give that works for everyone just yet. But yes, it appears to be a default opt-out
