I decided to ruin my life with the Jojo: Golden Spirit gacha game. I've easily lost a day to this stupid game so far. Such insidious design, it's wrecking my shit up.

Do people still do unboxing videos? I just got my VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works Deluxe Edition in the mail, and I can't remember if I'm supposed to just enjoy it, or if I have to monetize the experience? #visualnovel

The Odyssey is about the death of theaters, watching colleagues lose their integrity to stay alive in modern market conditions, and the inevitable tide of direct-to-streaming destroying "cinema". Watching it in 70mm was like watching Nolan shoot that last arrow at the cyclops.

I met a lady today who said she played in "some ska band". Not just "some ska band", the NAME was "Some Ska Band." And I said "that's gotta be a pain to search for lol" NO. THEIR SEO IS IMMACULATE. If you search for "some ska band", THEY ARE THE BAND. #some #ska #band

I switched up how learning and levelling up exercises works in my bodybuilding game! Instead of learning exercises one by one, players learn workout splits, which level up multiple exercises at once. I'm hoping it makes it clearer what muscles exercises are training. #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev

I just added workout splits to my bodybuilding game, and I've already noticed it's been making me reapproach how I play! I'm taking a bit of extra time to make it more front-and-center in some of the other modules! #vndev #indiedev #gamedev

Seriously, half of the reason I stick with #renpy as an engine is because the team is great with responding to tickets like this. I'm doing some pretty niche things with Live2d, and this fix is going to make a HUGE difference to my #visualnovel!

Any computer speaker recommendations? Mine broke after 20+ years, and apparently they were better than most modern speakers? Logitech 407 had decent bass, but SUCKED at vocal ranges. Best Buy guy told me to go to Guitar Center for decent audio 💀
