If you post AI bullshit I want to see the prompt you used. Show me your "tools". I want to point and laugh at the fact you had to type out the words "Guy on all fours getting railed by a horse with 12 cocks." I want to see "Make me popular game X but with my name on it because I suck." DO IT!

When all your indiedev game posts are liked by bots schilling other peoples' games maybe it's time to give the fuck up.

When your best looking level is a straight line gauntlet from the entrance to the exit using old assets and a couple of headstones you smashed out of a palette in about 10 minutes maybe it's time to think about getting a real level designer... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelgame #pixelart

Another Bucket List item checked. Never modded Wolf3D before. Never compiled from any original source before. Hate coding in C++, but did it anyway. Works in DOS with more features than I could have hoped. Learned something new. Took less than half a day to do. Feeling pretty proud of myself.

Project: GoodBoy You can now save the Dogs in #Wolfenstein3D. A 34 year old wrong made right again. The knife is now a bone. You can hit enemies with it and save puppers. Compiled from the original source code. Dunno if I can release it, but it exists. #DOSGAMING #RETROGAMING #GAMEDEV #INDIEDEV

If Sony says any reasonable person would know they don't own their games and that the license is non-transferable then when do we sue Gamestop for years of buying stolen property? We didn't own it, thus we didn't have the right to sell it, so it must have been stolen, right? #videogames

Haven't used Google since posting this. Went there a cpl times from muscle memory, but jumped off again before searching anything. I know all the other searches just use Google's API so it's not changing anything, but at least those don't generate AI images just because I exist.

Do you have an iPhone 11 or newer, or iPad released in 2021 or later that you are not using? Amiberry emulator developer MiDWaN is willing to bring his Amiga emulator to iOS (and trust me, he delivers — we worked with him to fix 30+ year old emulator scaling issues) but needs a test device. DM me!

If you interact with children on the regular I would ask that you tell them it's okay to copy other people's work. By that I mean, do covers of their favorite songs. Remixes. Paint a Rembrandt, rewrite the ending of Moby Dick. If I knew I could rescore Star Wars as a kid things would be different.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

Binge watching The Outer Limits (1995) last night and there's an episode with a car accident. This was before wide use of cell-phones caused distracted driving. I can imagine the writers: "We need him distracted while driving, but how?" "Maybe a dog?" "No! I got it! ... EYE DROPS!" Died laughing.

When I went to a job interview at a national thrift store, during the tour the manager pointed out the "Amazon Shelf"; items set aside exclusively for Amazon to purchase and resell. Being a middle-man in Consumer to Consumer trades always appears to be a winning strategy to companies like Gamestop.

I float languidly upon the surface of depression. No anxiety to act. No sadness to sink. My head, my eyes, my nose above the depths. But still, I am trapped. Unwilling to drown. Unable to act. Obliged to relax. Excruciating Peace. Aggravating Serenity. Infuriating Contentment.
