We forgot headphones for the Playtest Party tonight so we bought an emergency pair on the road to the venue. £15 down from £100, the kind of bargains you hope for as an indie dev! (They definitely don't *feel* like £100 headphones tho lol) #gamedev

Yes, It's me, I am indeed showing Nildigo at this event! @allis.ink added a bunch of new features since we showed the game at IMPACT! back in May, so come along and try the new build even if you played it before :) #gamedev

there has been no meaningful improvement in the devices or their functionality in 10 years in any way that affects what any normal person uses them to do, people only switch when forced updates cause a device which worked fine yesterday to lag so bad you can't type at full speed until you replace it
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.
