did anyone else ever play watermelon at recess or was that a regional thing? the rules were it was just handball but you played it with a kickball and if you could go under the ball instead of hitting it it's also entirely possible it was something my weirdo middle school friends made up

I used to manually take hundreds of screenshots to put on storefronts for my games. 5 screenshots * 18 languages * 7 resolutions = 630 screenshots! But today I wrote a script in @godotengine.org to do it for me and now it's done in like 15 minutes! I should've done this ages ago...

A screenshot of a grid of purple rectangles with various strings of text in them. Some rectangles are missing and a gray drawing is peeking out. There are orange UI buttons at the top and bottom of the screen. Some rectangles are black with no text in them. The string "2" has been searched for and the rectangle with the text "2♣" has been highlighted yellow.

Doing some work on my next game, just paused and had a moment of thinking "I love doing this." If you use generative AI, not only are you a talentless hack, you're robbing yourself from the joy of the creative process.

People have screwed up my name a lot. This was definitely the worst, though.

A cropped picture of a visitor's pass dated 09/12/2014. The name listed on it is "QANIEL QJIORIO." For reference, my name is "DANIEL DIIORIO." There's also "06 North" on it but I don't remember what that refers to.

Remember that indie game from 2010 that was $10? It was actually $15.

If you're doing PR or sending keys or whatever, essentially cold calling YouTube/Twitch channels with a game, I assure you that you do not need to have AI gin up some fake list of things that you "saw and enjoyed" on the channel to make that message have impact. That stuff just makes you look fake.

The fact that Assassin's Creed Odyssey had an increase in sales 8 years after its release because of the Christopher Nolan movie is very funny to me.

The thing about working in a no-AI studio (@deadbodygames.bsky.social) is that it's literally the easiest thing in the world to not use AI. It's the default option. All you have to do is keep doing things the exact same way you did two years ago and not stick your head in the Brain Fryer 3000

I use a save backup system similar to the one in this post. Bug reports of lost save data decreased quite a bit once I implemented it. Great advice! Will definitely be utilizing set_use_file_access_save_and_swap going forward, too.
