How messy are your dev notes, and do you actually use them?

Anyone else noticed the influx of “Hi I’m new here” posts since the farms were taken down?

Gamedev is just pushing a boulder of bug fixes uphill while fans say “do better.”

New meme video about the Sisyphean pain of postponing your indie game.

Shoutout to Chris Zukowski for being in our game chat!

Out of interest what would it cost to get some VO grunts and movement noises?

Not ready for or have the script yet but for gameplay dev would be nice 🤷‍♂️

Better than silence anyway 🤣

Damn is #iClone8 a awesome for animating!

Bit of a steep learning curve but makes animating silly easy 😅

Additive, IK, pose masks, reach targets, etc and that’s before the “coughs” AI pose magic that will make poses look more natural

Not American but sharing so those of you that are can share else where 🤷‍♂️
The GOP is lying. They are distracting from their failures to address the health care crisis that they created.

When did GitHub starting suggesting multi-word passwords for Repo names?

GitHub: Great repository names are short and memorable. How about "fictional-octo-broccoli"? 😂

Tell your loved ones they need a social media backup plan up plan‼️

Tell them we’re being pumped with right-wing propaganda (like during the CK murder).

Encourage them to join Bluesky.

One action-a-day keeps autocracy at bay.✨

How’s everyone finding #Borderlands4, only had a couple of bugs so far, inventory junking junk marking the wrong rows item (the one above) & a “Locked Message Not Set” message 🤣🤷‍♂️

Been waiting ages for Borderlands4 & now can’t help but think of my own game now that it’s been released 🤣🤷‍♂️

I rarely look forward to a game like this but counting the days now 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes programming sucks, but other times you track down a convoluted bug and you truly feel like Sherlock Holmes (if instead of solving murders he solved pointless shit that nobody really cares about).

Spent the day making a new Homebrew PfSense Router & Access Point

Sorting the WLANs was a headache to say the least 🤯

Be nice to get my blocklists and device separation back (IDS is nice too)

Anyone else tired of the news pretending the man about to meet Trump is actually Putin?
