Good luck and godspeed to all in Steam Next Fest

Alt: a woman is holding her hand to her mouth while standing in the grass. She's the girl from that one movie about mockingbirds or smth where everyone battled to the death for bread. Woody harrelson was in it? Idk but it has the right vibes.

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

Been focusing on animations lately! Created a rough mining animation, which also works surprisingly well as a makeshift planting animation! ⛏️

I think I know what you mean. This didn't exist and it's made of a bunch of different sounds and it's synced to an animation and has to sound good in a 3D space. Took hours and I'm probably still going to change it.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

As Congress works to end the government shutdown, it’s crucial to remind your elected officials to pass clean spending bills.

The initial House bill, H.R. 4754, included harmful riders, including Section 128, which would remove protections for gray wolves in 44 states.
