Basic gist of the "Attention Economy(tm)" which really sucks for those who lack it.

At this point you have to hold him accountable. This feels like a malpractice case and honestly if people aren't assed to do the work the first time, what excuses them from the next?

Workplace integrity is everything to some, and nothing to others is what I've learned in my job as of late...

I'm struggling to parse that.

What is a similar enough font I *can* use that won't get me in any hot water? I'm looking for a nice and rounded font that fits an approachable style that I'm going for.

Nostalgia Ninja @nostalgianinja.com · 11h

Before I go to bed today I'd like some font advice: currently I'm using Franxfurter Totally as a branding font but the license ambiguity has me wanting to change in case it's not for commercial use (can't find any ways to make it for commercial use if so).

Expand thread for question.

It's your body forcing a timeout on you and you can't say no.

Power outage revealed some... Interesting oddities with my personal laptop and its battery. It might be time to chuck it.

Work was sure... Interesting at the current moment with how I was handling it all. Somehow I find a way to get stuff done...

I dunno... Something tells me they're in it too...

Have been a phase down and without much power (barely able to work) so apologies if I don't get back to ya in time. Been a real one and the power utility didn't know the issue until after they clocked off.

Real grumpy about how stuff gets done around these parts.

This is shaping up really well! > RP

Did you check out our latest update? Lots of work in progress on display for Children of Infinity, especially Melee visuals! We only had room to share a few slices of this longer VFX reel. Audio is still in progress and includes placeholder mouth sounds: get 'em while they're ridiculous! #Godot

The writing is on the walls at this point and Microsoft is terrified at their brand image tanking.

You have to wonder how hard they fumbled to drop the ball this spectacularly...

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Reminder to use additional gamedev hashtags other than godot to make sure it shows up on the godot feed.

The filter was recently changed to show more relevant content.

Worth noting... I don't actually have a game-ready model...

Nostalgia Ninja @nostalgianinja.com · 1d

Getting somewhere with a playground scene. I'm going to need a model to find forward and use that... #godot

No cost too great...

I'm stressed out because my colleagues are sending me handover messages even though I marked myself on leave.

I'm so tired, man. I wish that people understood that I marked the day off so that I can take some rest, and then they pull this on me? This is the first time that this has happened :\

Nostalgia Ninja @nostalgianinja.com · 1d

Helpful information, thank you! How does one help outside of the US? I'm guessing the same methods as mentioned here?

Nobody nowadays has a sword above their head waiting to drop. People in power have gotten way too cocky about their status, and it shows.

How do we hold people in power accountable if they don't have a shiny blade over their heads?
