I couldn't help but fuck with them a lil bit. They might send me even more spam but whatever, at this point it won't make a difference anyway lol

Pixel art is very much valid and good AS LONG AS you keep it consistent.

One could argue that all art is valid, which I agree with, but if your pixel densities are all over the place, expect most people to think it looks terrible.

I'm gonna be super boring with my answer but; I'd pay my rent, utilities, and groceries with it, so that I could then have the peace of mind to work on my indie game business without the constant fear of homelessness.

I already do that, but I could definitely do without the stress.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I don't have a lot of money but take it anyway! You deserve it 💯

Go give some love to @santaragione.com , Steam shouldn't have the last word about whether or not you break even with your game.

There's nothing quite like the power of customizing your own OS.

I especially love that with most Linux desktops, you can customize literally everything. Want to have Me Gusta as your start menu icon? No problemo, buddy!

That one LOTR scene where they're like "you have my sword! -and my axe!" takes on a brand new signification.

I love this kind of "hiding" secrets in game trailers. Most people will skip the text and think it's just a cute innocuous game, but if you pay attention, the actual intent is clear as day ✨
Btw, Harvest Island is partially inspired by Doki Doki Literature Club's twist on a genre.

But even though I'm sure most of their notoriety was word-of-mouth, their launch trailer has this title card:

So, I see the r/art subreddit imploded, because this one mod thought he was the God of art and banned someone for bs reasons, and when he got called out, banned every other mods and deleted his entire account.

Like, wtf is wrong with Reddit. It's not even the 1st time I see this kind of meltdown.

It's kinda bittersweet to see Charlie talk about this, because it's actually been a problem forever; people passing for real influencers, asking for keys, and then selling them on G2A or something.

Pro-tip: Only give keys to people YOU contact first. 99.9% of the emails you'll get are fake.

Not exactly my thing, but I love the hardware! I always thought those kinds of snap-on buttons for mobile games would make everything better. I'm glad someone actually made it! Doesn't have to be any more complicated than that.

What I'd like is separate d-pads and buttons for custom input layouts.
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢

It's even worse when you have imposter syndrome AND you don't make ends meet, so you actually have a good reason to doubt yourself.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

It's funny because I decided that my current phone (Motorola Edge) will be the last one I buy brand new. There's literally nothing in it for me to have anything better, and if I change it'll only be because I can't take calls anymore.

It's not "device hoarding", it's knowing your needs.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

If you have 8 tasks that each require 100% of your attention, all you have to do is figure out how to have 800% total attention. Easy peasy.
If everything is a top priority, then everything gets done quickly. That's basic management

The cool thing about growing old is figuring yourself out. I've said for a long time that I can't be passionate about work, but obv that'll happen when you subconsciously believe your passion can't be a job.

I've been browsing WWI and being actually excited about jobs for the first time in forever.
