I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Re: concept art
Does anyone remember Feng Zhu & FZD School of Design? like 10 years ago on youtube I used to watch these concept art tutorials and he'd explain his process and they were so valuable.

Who invented non-reflective glass?
American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938.
It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

One thing I liked about Rogue Legacy was how I could build my own narrative in my mind for how each run's character succeeds the last in the family lineage.

🥁 About a month ago I asked how are y'all managing your sound effect archive...
🎺 And today I'm sharing SLAMY with the world!
It's a super-simple sound library manager w/ built-in mixer for quick edits. It's a great help for me, and maybe for you too?

In some ways the Wii is like a home phone because there are no accounts, you have a 16 digit Wii number. So everyone in a household shares the Wii and if you wanted to go online with a friend - you're really calling their Wii and anyone in their household could pick up and play with you.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 was really good. Skeet Ulrich appearance was cool and I thought his character was played by Markiplier before he turned around… lol

Phenomenon in open-world games where the player comes across something very specific and out of place in the game world and they think it’s random detail using exclusively environmental story telling (cool), but it’s actually a detail for the main plot which you haven’t completed (less cool).

Updating to point out that progress on my previous project slowed down. I'm enjoying working on this Mancala game right now though. #madeingodot #gamedev
