it’s only this gorgeous coz humans didn’t step foot here til ~1400s — and they LARGELY STILL DONT at least for band tours

(view rn)

the band list that people in europe can post drives me absolutely insane with jealousy. i’ve seen some amazing acts and i travel a lot for them, bc they only visit aotearoa like once every 10 years coz

we’re SO lucky as devs that we get to create art in our jobs; but it’s a lever and part of the package, not the whole point (if you need to make $).

Awards and recognition are nice, but i wish we had more financially viable options for creating games that are art first, rather than product first.

well, yes, this is in lieu of basic universal income, which i am massively in favour of

YES. Not having the piece in a high security garage. I need the wealthy to indulgently fund a pet art human who makes the oddest things.

i thought there was just a difference between US sizes and UK/me 😭 what do you MEAN

raced to see if anyone had said this yet

yep, 1000%

we need to go back to having (wealthy) patrons who sponsor us to make art bc it’s seen as valuable

Art should be everywhere (and often is, if you look!). On the streets, in museums, in every day design.

Humans deserve uncomfortable art. But platform storefronts aren’t looking at games like that, they are looking at a product to market to players. I’m glad itch exists.

i’ve had my dark/graphic art censored for others’ comfort since i was just 15 (too disturbing for youth art exhibits apparently). i get it!

Art deserves to be funded generously, bc it provides all of us with incredible - but sometimes intangible - value. It makes us better, thoughtful, inspired.

yeah so

there’s the humours (blood, yellow bile, black bile, mucous) and then there’s the humours (sanguine = happy, light; choleric = angry, firey; melancholic = sad, depressive; phlegmatic = slow, peaceful, lazy)

depends how you look at it i guess!

also, sanguine should be yellow and choleric red

came here to say this

also, producer friends -- I'm really liking Linear!

It's hard to pry me away from Jira's data and reporting, but Linear's done a great job at doing the basics really well with minimal friction. It's great at understanding context.

And i think... the devs actually don't hate using it??

look it's a low bar, but we've all had it with ai busting in the door on literally any platform like HEY WANT ME TO REWRITE THIS THING YOU JUST WROTE FOR YOU?? DO YOU NEED THIS SUMMARISED?? DW I WILL COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT only to execute any of those jobs miserably poorly

i try not to be a snob about it coz damn idk if this is your first flight

but it happens all the time and the passports are NOT shiny enough to be a first use

are all of the reporters fox news?? what’s happening here?? why didn’t a single person correct him?

i can’t believe he can turn around and say “beyond the pale” after saying “ooh idk we’ll have to get the lawyers to determine what he meant by the all caps death threat”

(I'm not exaggerating -- Paul wrote The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook back in the '90s, sketching out the events that became the baseline a tiny series called Andor. Have you heard of it?).

Jump in, ask questions (or chuck em here and I'll add it to the list). 3pm NZT, 1pm AEDT.
