Once I can figure out what is the best and regularly updated integrated visual scripting for Godot, I will likely jump ship from Unreal 🫠

I really enjoy this game, and am terrible at it, but Venom now makes me want to get good. I know my main now even if IDK how he plays.

I have a lot I want to show of PLATZ, but mostly can't as it is a short solo developed narrative game. Here's I small look at the "Recreational Area" in PLATZ for the time being. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

I vote to quit sooner than later. Your job is probably harder because you carry the load. Find a place that other people are as competent as you.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

I play this for my art students on workdays, and I always preface it with "I like this a lot more than Ponyo" always getting a reaction, but then a "Yeah, you were right" at the end of it.

I'm only 30 min in and Galactic Racer and this thing is great. I'm not a huge Star Wars or racing fan, but all of this works so well together already. Plus I want more dumb stories like this where I can just enjoy being in the world and not have to be bombarded with lore.

The funny thing about this statement is that it is trying to argue that things are objectively better, but then makes a subjective point proving that art is subjective.

Thanks for this resource! As a gamedev who primarily does all parts except for the writing, would love to see a Bsky shared list of game writers to follow or reach out to (not asking for you to do but more like if it exists)

For no particular reason, I feel I should mention I updated my RPG Fan Translation Directory a few days ago with a bunch of new/missing titles, and also a very important change in the last paragraph.

I loved games like crazy beforehand growing up but never took them deeper or more seriously than Tekken 3 on PS1; This was mostly due to the (Arcade) Ultimate Strategy guide I picked up alongside it. It opened my eyes to the depths of fighting games in new ways I never fully comprehended until then💪

Currently doing some minor tweaks to some of the rooms before I start diving into writing and I'm realizing each room has at least two or more iridescent things. It's gotta be one of my favorite things to work with when using shaders 😀 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

Mann, @wonderville.nyc is such a great place and I wish more places took inspiration from them and all their collaborators. I've always imagined they rose from the grave of Babycastles. If you ever visit the city make sure to give em a stop and check those custom cabinets; They deserve appreciation.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

NGL he might have seen all those and still love Digimon; he may have that deep rooted nostalgia which is great TBH. Plus, Digimon is a bigger plus than a large number of other anime that'd make me raise an eyebrow.

Maybe look at Shadowrun and consider how you'd like to do things differently. Plus you could like lean into the fantasy/goth a ton and then dash some cyberpunk. Like explore an old castle but have some cool unexpected cyberpunk gear.

Games are inherently ridiculous, so its negatively ridiculous to see games that make it a point to not come off that way to the "cool kids". The genuine "cool kids" are the ones who embrace the strangeness 😀
