I need some good capsule art for my Steam Page!

Fellow #gamedevs who do you trust with good pixel art capsules? #indiedev

I hate feeling “stuck” on my game.

There’s nothing technically stopping me, but I’m at a point where all I have is to build it, and I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing. #gamedev

I’m starting to really stress about this job thing to the point I think it’s making my stomach hurts most of the day. Ulcer incoming probably.

Had my 5 year affiliate anniversary yesterday.

I love twitch and the friends and experiences, but It's the only creative endeavor I can't crack.

I've written novels, performed music in front of 80,000 people, yet getting 20 people to consistently watch me play games feels...impossible.

I can’t even enjoy Christmas cus I’m so stressed and unsure about my future. This sucks.

I hate feeling so hopeless. I can lay in bed and not be able to think of a single thing that makes me happy. All I have is stress and anxiety and feeling like a failure.

I spent so much of my life on stupid arts that’ll never bring me any success in this hellscape we live in.

I hate that every day is a step into the unknown.

I’m 35 with no job, a handful is mixed skills in an industry that I hate, while in the worst job market since the depression.

I wish I had anything to keep me going forward besides pure survival.

Losing my mind trying to find a job and accept that having the privilege of creating things for a living just isn’t in my cards.

Anyone know why people in Indiana have such a struggle with toll stops? It’s like every third person has no idea what a toll is or what to do.

I hate feeling like my games success hinges on my YT suddenly blowing up.

So many indie games come out and do well and then you see they have a 40k sub YouTube channel.

My brain is so fucking stupid, like I know it’s the chemicals making me feel worthless but that makes me feel broken, like why do I have to deal with this shit at all why can I be happy man.
November 3, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Some days I wish I had more then anxiety and depression. Would just be nice to exist as a normal fucking person for one day.

I wish I was a better streamer man. There’s just something I’ve gotta be doing wrong.

So many people grow doing nothing, but I feel like I have to fight tooth and nail for a single follow and view.

I’m such a shit creator.

I sit for hours and really wonder if this is all for me.

The days where I feel motivated and empowered feels less and less and I feel like the people who stop by only do so out of pitty anymore.

Or maybe it’s the depression messing with me. God I hate my brain.

I have an alpha demo for my game but no name yet.

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

Think I’m gonna really focus on keeping my Twitter shit light and gaming related. Way too much energy going to shit that doesn’t matter.
