Hey Bluesky! It’s Ward Games, your favorite indie game studio. If you’re following us elsewhere across the ‘Net, you know we’re working on a pretty cool game: Project Lexa, a sci-fi mystery where you explore a planet where everything is written in an alien language! ward-games.com/post/what-th...

Yeah, that’s what I’m using - the SteamPipe GUI. Forgot what it was called until I cracked it back open today.

I know the steps to upload a build to Steam using the bootleg lookin' Steamworks SDK client app purely through muscle memory at this point and if I ever have to update or otherwise change a part of this process I'm going to have a full-on panic attack.

Well this is a bummer to learn after finally getting a passport this month.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

NEW: Nearly 100 current and former developers at MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy slam Leslie Benzies and the rest of studio leadership for poor management and botched layoffs.

They say crunch was mandated leading up to release only for 250 people to be sacked afterwards.
