However, as I'm sure people have heard, startups typically prey on the eager and willing, to take advantage of with lower salaries and more work.

I think I'm underpaid. I was talking to another data engineer, talking about what I do, and they only do 1/6 of what I listed

I am halfway through my 6-part series on building a puzzle game with it. I choose Klotski (sliding rectangular block puzzle), which has its pros/cons
Pros:
Simple mechanics
1 entity type
Simple rectangle collision
Cons:
All the characters are straight

As much as I love touching hardware and registers, I have enjoyed using Butano, the asset-abstraction framework for GBA, for the last 2 years. I want other people to enjoy it too

I am on my 6th detour though as the GBA asset-management library, Butano, can seemingly be ported to SDL to be compile Butano GBA games for any system...
the long term goal for 2026 is to port Butano to SDL so that your Butano GBA games can be played on PC, Switch, etc without an emulator
