I'd love to figure out some way to offer tangible real world objects in exchange for a small amount of coin. 'Merch', if you will.

I just have ZERO idea where to start. Or who would even buy it.

Game devs: if you have a tutorial in your game, please please PLEASE do not make it a mandatory piece of the game.

Mandatory tutorials only hurt replayability, and alienate ppl that just like to figure out out themselves.

Thx

Now, more than ever, lessons learned in the 1770s and 1860s seem extremely valid.

It's 7 counts of treason to teach the Declaration of Independence, yanno? Treason. How crazy is that?

Interesting stuff, though. Verily.

It's been nearly 9 years since my wife died. In that time, I've grown a lot. I sometimes wonder if she'd be proud; if we'd still be compatible today.

I then wondered if I did it right? Could I have been better, being the me that I was then?

I with she could tell me. Just to know, I'd burn all

Why don't the 'war on language' nincompoops actually put their effort behind something useful, for once?

There is no such thing as 'ai', today.

We can't even build a convincing 'vi'.

LLMs, NLMs, MLMs are not intelligences. Period.

Another thought occurs:

I don't ever want to be a creator that does subathons. Posts donation links in public. Begs for coin.

I've been homeless. Technically am now. 15USD more a month won't fix that. I'm working on it, but I will NOT panhandle.

No direct politics. My policy, here. But, I just saw a post bitching about ppl who refuse to vote.....

Me. I refuse.

You know who I'm voting for? Myself. Me. I've got the vote, right? Well, obv not.

Ok then, stfu about it. And get out of my house.

New words to add to the block list, for those of you keeping track

'tryna' (pronounced trih-nuh, not trai-nah, obv)

'prolly' (no explanation needed, I'm sure)

I notice a very distinct pattern of post style related to these nonsense words, that I do not desire to interact with.

@ #indiedevs in keeping with my previous statement that I want to be a hub of communication between and around indie games and devs, if you stream on #twitch, lmk. Send a linky. Drop a DM. I want to help, any way I can.

Ok, chat. I've gotta level with you. This is hard for me to admit. BUT::

Every time I see Jupiter in the sky, I say, out loud 'Joopiturrr'. Just like Kel Mitchell's character in All That.

Tism be damned!!! I'm normal, dangit.

@bsky.app I wonder how many blocked pages and 'hide this for me's before the algorithm stops pushing communism and politics at large to my feed?

Some tweaking necessary? I'd really hate to have to chalk bsky up as 'just another FB' knockoff, but it's starting to shape up that way, I think.

Funny story: it annoys me to no end when ppl try to talk about 'morals ' and/or 'ethics '.

Your morals are provided to you by your society, religion, and/or parents.

What is 'right' or 'good' to you, might not be those things to someone else.

The ONLY true ethic is: Don't hurt others.

Question fer ye: who's ready for me to be back online? Videos, streams, content.

I know I am. 2Mb/s upload just doesn't do it though. 😭😢

Neither does 14USD/hr in this economy.

Have a full time job and can't even live in my own place, tf is even going on?

Realizing that this may not reach all intended audiences, so a repost with extra tags.

#gamedev #indie #godot #unity #indiegame #indiegames #pixel
I know at this point most of you do, but for those that don't, I have an ask:

For all the indie devs in the room, if you wouldn't mind, PLEASE add the #indiedev tag to your posts.

We love you, and we want to be able to FIND you.

Sincerely,
ND gamers ❤️❤️❤️

Today's cold take: No commercial operation should own any residential property. This should be illegal the world over, AND those that try should have their assets all dissolved. Period.
