It's an Incredible film that has such an original and meaningful approach to the subject of loss and I hate people are dumbing it down to 'hurhur ai bad'

Incredible!
How has the experience been to port the unity plugin to Godot btw? Did the C# support help in that regards?

This might be the easiest 10 bucks I'll ever spend. Looking forward to giving this a try tomorrow!

I don't know what it says that I prefer space sci-fi with aliens because space sci-fi with only humans always feels like only WASP Americans get to explore space

That makes sense!

Tbh I never really cared about the official org. I just like the idea behind it!

Does nanowrimo also include screenplays because I think I'd like to try one of those again some time.

I guess it helps I just thought of an amazing horror short

I suspect most English language authors detest their own language and want to spend as little time as possible with it

ok hear me out, we know that gamer chairs are basically repurposed car seats and that it's much better for your desk posture to use a herman miller (clone) or something similar

but what if we replace car seats inside cars with proper desk chairs too huh, imagine the ergonomic benefits

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

Explicit pronoun declarations always seem like such an inelegant solution until you're at a all-genders women in games event and you realise you might be misgendering folks.

Yeah, it's inelegant, but it saves so much embarrassment.

(There'll be stickers next time. The badges had too little space)

Okay I'm with you: wtf indeed??

Oooh one of those things!
I believe that might just be because of audio standards 😅

I was told that basically a USB slot is a lot less secure, which is a bit of an issue now that cars are more and more software dependent.
It just introduces a whole load of security concerns vs getting you to buy an extra cable.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

guy who always posts spicy takes after their game release posts a spicy take after their game release

I guess it works? People do be talking. Smart. I didn't actually know about the release.

HOT TAKE: Sometimes, I feel like the people saying this mean why isn't anyone with lots of power covering my game. When smaller folks ARE covering indie games and you're not uplifting them. You just want others to lift you up without giving back to the community.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015
