We had to put up with years of "git gud" and "learn to code" from gamers and programmers but somehow "git gud" is not an acceptable response when sloppers insist that they can't possibly create art for their game without AI

I don't want to play realistic-looking games. I want to play stylized games with unique art direction!

Why is the default "get a day job" rather than "start a business".

Had I not decide to be fiercely loyal and dedicated to a company for years because a "stable" job, and did what I wanted to do, I might have a couple games on Steam by now.

turns out finding out about all of the awful things going on in the world that you have zero control over every day is not good for you

Why be the CEO of a software company when you hate code so much?

Vote emotionally. What could possibly go wrong.

there's an edtech SaaS company called Turnitin that has been claiming it can reliably detect plagiarism in student papers for over 20 years despite uh, not really any evidence that it can do that

Someone on here said that videogames offer a fantasy of predictable rewards for one's work, which in real life might not be rewarded at all. I think about it a lot!

I wanna make small silly games for no profit and be completely self sustainable somehow. How do I achieve this

You can do everything right, pass all the stages and even the final interviews, yet still get no offers. Meanwhile a $100B billionaire could fund 49,750 working-class people to never work again, each with $40K/year for 50 years.

friendly reminder that all institutions are not real. laws, governments, nations, borders, corporations. they only exist in our collective imaginations. a bunch of little stories we tell ourselves. fairy tales

"...the gravest sin you can commit, at least when it comes to games, is to look at games strictly as these commercial objects." Oh this video is the *good* shit Everything about games, and life, is better when we stop seeing art as functional products meant to deliver return on investment

I develop software in primarily imperative programming languages from JavaScript to Python to C/C++ and I have a preference for gamedev. I dream of working at a well-paid remote-only worker-owned cooperative. If such a place does not exist, or out of my reach, I think I want to start one. Maybe.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

i sometimes joke that social media is gamification of relationships for surveillance capitalism. i wonder how it would be if it was “ungamified”. does the numbers game make it addicting & keep us coming back? can *just* making connections with people, without that urgency for competition, be enough?

Getting slapped in the face at 9 y.o. ended up in having that pain in the back that is scoliosis in the 30s.

I'm slowly getting into astrophotography for fun. Here is M44 / NGC 2632 Praesepe a.k.a. Beehive Cluster in the Cancer constellation. Taken on a Canon EOS 550D with a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens (already broke my bank with these, can't afford better equipment, so no star tracker too! 😂).
