YES I'm glad this functionality worked, we added it super last minute and didn't get to test much!
(In Angeline Era if you clear 3/6 of your first action levels with no deaths, it asks if you'd like to turn up the difficulty so as to try to fit players with a suitable difficulty!)

It's finally coming!!
On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!!
It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight.
Please look forward to it!!

One thing I like about the Mackenzie guy in Prime 4, is he seems pretty intimidated by Samus. He's obviously a fan, treats her like a legend. But also she's a mute autistic 6ft+ killing machine

Sure, the new Metroid Prime has annoying NPCs that talk to you
But it also has the most yonic level designs of the Metroid games. So many labia doors where you must move the clit down to open

It took me going through art school and seeing the herculean amount of work it takes to make an animated show to cure me of fandoms.
Like, why get that worked up?? Do you know how hard it is to make a show and then have it *actually* get released, we’re lucky it exists at all!

I'm really hoping Metroid Prime Beyond really goes "From Beyond" with the psychic theming. Samus even has a Pineal Gland thingy on her new helmet!

Having a hard time watching a video essay someone sent me. Even if it's just background noise as I work, I sit here wishing I was listening to Funkadelic...

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.
allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Even setting aside not wanting to support him for jacking off in front of people, I feel like the fact that he did it undercut the entire concept of Louis CK as a comedian: that he was a man with repulsive thoughts and urges, but who had attained the self-knowledge that comes with recognizing them
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

He has one of the worst smiles I've ever seen and they slap it on every one of his products or promotions
Mr. Beast is one of those celebrities or shows in the background of a dystopian story to give you an idea of how completely the broken society has become. You can't convince me he's real.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Drew comics since I was six, was told to pursue a stable career, pursued primary school teaching because “summer vacation will allow me to draw comics”, drew comics during my degree, eventually dropped my degree because it was distracting me too much from my webcomics career :)

I took up programming games on my calculator in highschool. I graduated and started to attend art school.
Quickly figured out I hate drawing for other people, and doing art for a living appeared to be a painful lifestyle. I eventually dropped out and got residency in WA and studied Computer Science
