Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.

Want to share this again for no reason in particular;
Indie doesn't mean anything at this point! If your 'indie' category covers both Despelote and Expedition 33 then it's barely useful as a description!

(Also 'Kei' and 'Midi' games are cool names)

Thought I'd check in on chatgpt and see if it had gotten any better at game history research. It hallucinated an unreleased "Wizards and Warriors IV" project for NES and when I asked what the source was it made up a tweet by...me.

Once again saying there is more wealth out there than any budget management office’s analysts can imagine

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Blood has been playing tomb raider since got the remaster(evil) for free
And it's so fascinating how it feels more complex to engage with than what the action/platformer etc 3d games have amalgamated into.
Really makes one think about how computer games exist out of restricting what you can do.

Do you know what would be cool? Being able to mute words and tags for people you don't follow. I don't mind seeing my friend's hot takes, but maybe I don't care so much about Joe Schmoe's opinion on the subject.

Godot Engine AnimationTree is pretty sweet.

Super easy to blend between animations and setup a state machine to control it all. Can also filter out bones so you can blend animations with even more precision.

Now to just connect this all to the movement code.

I set this to "warn" and I'm so excited to see which of my friends are canonically rude
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
