The fun of living literally on top of San Andreas is that sometimes you get a mere 3-something, but it announces itself with a whole house going bumpity, because it's only a few streets over.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Do you know a relatively well seasoned Community Manager looking for work?
Does this person like shit posting, understands charities, can corporate speak AND has experience in marketing technology? Probably not, but hey I'd take one or two of them?
Reach out! I am looking to hire someone soon.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Being seeing more artists, creators, podcasters pick up on this and I love that we are letting the audience know that refusing to use GenAi isn't just an indicator of inherent quality but a demand to have some personal integrity about our work.
I want to see more of it in the future.

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

As a kid, I wanted to make games, but dad convinced me to learn physics. For 15 years, I studied arcane symbols, listened to sages, and risked my life among the particle beams. When I was able to derive parton distributions from naught but symmetries of space, I ran off to join a c̶i̶r̶c̶u̶s̶ game studio.

Doors! Cryptic Studios, 2015(ish?). I'm working on expanding path-finding for some upcoming games, building on top of path finding used in Neverwinter, fixing some bugs along the way and optimizing the search. Everything's going smoothly. I get to testing how AI responds to changes in nav graph.->
Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".
