Kids these days won't understand this but when I was a kid pre-internet streaming, when a song you liked came on the radio it was an event because there was no other way to hear that song

daily reminder ✨
DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD. instead ask: is it SINCERE, is it CATHARTIC, was it FUN TO MAKE, is it MADE BY ME, and don’t forget to stay silly

Here is my top tip for you: do not put a function in your game that sends you an email if a player presses a button. That build will make its way onto a russian piracy site and you will spend the rest of your life getting emails

Today while waiting for the elevator I noticed there was braille on the buttons and I thought that was really cool and thoughtful and then I got inside and well... good luck blind people lol
Buttons on the outside of the elevator to call it. Both have braille on them. The buttons on the inside of the elevator. There's 8 floors and not a single button has braille.

So my local grocery store has started playing AI music in their stores now. I cancelled my Spotify subscription after 8 years because I didn't want to hear AI music and now I'm being subjected to it while I pick out my fruit and veg for the week. 😭

I'm getting Cozy Country ready for launch and every wishlist makes a big difference for a small game like this. If you like landscape builders, please take a look and consider adding it to your Steam Wishlist (or sharing this post). It truly helps a lot❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/4690240/...

It feels like right now is the worst time in history to be a creative. The best time in history was in early 1500s Italy. Damn, just missed it!

Busy tinkering on this detective game inspired by my time playing social deduction party games. Each person in town gives you a bit of information to help you track down the killer. #gamedev

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

What is this shit? Windows + R key opens the run command. I felt like reCAPTCHA was trying to get me to run malware on my computer. I just wanted to read the article! 😭
A CAPTCHA verification page instructs users to prove they are not a robot by pressing Windows + R, then Ctrl + V, and finally Enter.

Affinity spells "center" the English way and even though I use English spelling in every other aspect of my life it just feels... wrong?
A screenshot of the text alignment options in Affinity. They read "Align Left", "Align Center", "Align Right", etc.

Godot: - is free & yours to modify - isn’t run by shareholders with a different agenda - doesn’t support genAI - is easy to transition to - is very capable - has its own quirks - exports to desktop & mobile, and to console through 3rd party services (for now) lmk if you need help transition to it

Been having fun prototyping this detective-style deduction game over the last month or so. 🕵️👁️ Largely inspired by social deduction games like Werewolf and Mafia, just without the social part. Almost at the point now where I can have people playtest it! 🙌 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

After Spotify announced AI music on their platform I switched to Deezer. So far so good, until I tried to play music on my Alexa device. 😭 Keep in mind I can use Deezer on every other device I own... If anyone has suggestions for their preferred music streaming platform, I'm all ears!
A screenshot of the Alexa app. It says I can't use Deezer "because of geographical restrictions".

I'm not usually one for boycotts but this was the nail in the coffin for me. I'm just not interested in hearing AI music.

An update on Hugo: he's now a happy, healthy 4 month old boy and he has a best friend Phoebe with whom he's besotted - the pair are inseparable. His ears and paw have healed up nicely and his coat is so silky and soft. A far cry from the timid street cat we found a month ago! ❤️🐈

I just wanted methods for boiling potatoes. Are you serious rn? 😭 Literally a history lesson on potatoes instead of getting to the point
An article on the history of potatoes before the actual boiling methods. 

Ah, what's the point nobody sees my posts anyway...
