Such a good thread
The bad news is that we're on our own, but the good news is that we have each other. As this last week showed us, better things are possible, but the people who currently hold the power aren't the ones who are going to make those things come true. We have to seize power for ourselves and each other.

Vote out literally every Democrat senator when you can. The Republicans owned the shutdown until one hour ago. Now we all suffered for nothing.

George Carlin, who played Mr Conductor in Shining Time Station/Thomas the Tank Engine
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

The ultimate guide to not work on your game:
1. Work on a part you don't like working on
2. Feel unmotivated
[Optional] 2b. Have an exhausted 9-to-5 to pay the bills
3. Find a videogame to play and sink your time into
That's it! Great job, you can feel guilty now!

this post has made me a believer. languages and frameworks are TOO GOOD now. it’s too easy to do things the complex, suboptimal way that “feels” right. rather than being forced to find a creative solution that often works better.
In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.

This is an amazing and heartwarming story, but one thing to note: Team Cherry having fun during dev does not rule out it being mismanaged. Mismanagement just means that a project is being managed poorly. This can often look like...
BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme
