Gaming as an adult:
- Work all day
- Stare at Steam library for 1hr
- Finally pick a game
- 50GB update
- Update finishes after your bed time

@UnchainedGame I'm an old school dark age of Camelot player, and I was really looking forward to this game. The steam reviews make it sound like it plays more like an extractions type game instead of an mmo. Is that true?

[drew @Andevrs]

@SyphinB @UnchainedGame Tutorials didn't exist when dark age of Camelot launched. You just figured shit out as you went.

@thomasmahler My kid has a switch and saves his allowance for games but we don't let him blow it all on games. He generally buys one every other month or so. I make sure games get well played before we buy another, lol.

[たくん @TakunHiwatari]

Actually, the exact opposite is happening.

Retro Handhelds are starting to take off, and thanks to Game Native/ Gamehub, you can play a good amount of PC games on handhelds that fit in your pocket. There's also a lot being done with Rocknix.

The golden age hasn't even started.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Rust is a cult. And this statement from the Linux Kernel maintainer is yet another example of Rust Cultism.

"Rust is going to save us!"

Save us... from what? That's never actually defined.

The implication is that our core "goodness" depends on using Rust. On replacing unclean C code with Rust.

In other words: Rust zealots are proclaiming that blind acceptance of "Rust" will save our souls.

It's a cult. A very, very weird cult.

Will be testing out a way for paypal users to send to creators paypal's own stable currency (PYUSD) that they've introduced themselves, in such a way where it would not risk the creator's paypal account, and paypal wouldn't be able to properly stop it (unless they shutdown their own currency).

Assuming all goes well, I'll be testing it out in the upcoming discord-alt in the donation page and see how viable this solution is.

If things does work out, it'll just require creators a little bit of learning, and have a little bit of friction.

@FlaxEngine Can I make 2d or HD2D (2.5d) style games with this engine ?

[Kabrutus @kabrutusdeid]

When I decided to create the Steam curator Sweet Baby Inc. Detected, my goal was to warn players about people who wanted to turn video games into tools for ideological messaging and political propaganda.

Things escalated far beyond anything I ever imagined and today, terms like DEI are widely known across the global gaming community.

We have also seen Sweet Baby Inc. become increasingly secretive, and having your game associated with Sweet Baby Inc. has effectively become a badge of shame, leading to significant losses in sales and reputation among gamers.

Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the industry's movements closely, and the reemergence of Anita Sarkeesian as a relevant figure is deeply concerning. This is someone who has already done far too much damage to the video game industry with her toxic and hateful ideas, combined with the influence she somehow still holds within the industry.

I see a situation very similar to what we had with Sweet Baby Inc.: a malicious individual trying to use video games to spread twisted and hateful ideologies, using gaming as a vehicle for propaganda.

That is why I have decided to start including games connected to Anita Sarkeesian in the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator.

We need not only to warn players that the game they are thinking about buying may be helping fund Anita Sarkeesian's disgusting work, but also to send a clear message to the industry that WE WILL NOT ACCEPT OUR ENTERTAINMENT BEING TURNED INTO PROPAGANDA. PERIOD.

However, I cannot do this alone, not this time. Unlike Sweet Baby Inc., Anita Sarkeesian does not provide a ready made list of games she has worked on through her official website. She does list clients, but not specific games. And I simply cannot spend endless hours every day tracking down and investigating these titles anymore. Life happens. Bills need to be paid, and I have to focus on work that actually brings financial return. I am being completely honest with you here.

But I know many of you can help track these games down. To get things started, I have added Slay the Spire 2 to the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator.

If you can help identify more titles connected to her, please email me at [email protected]. Only games with undeniable proof of her involvement will be added. As always, I do not want to be unfair to anyone, nor do I want to spread false information.

ROUND 2 BEGINS NOW!

[Sumi @Sumi64Bit]

#indiegame #devlog

[drew @Andevrs]

@Sumi64Bit Yeah that's what I'm looking at doing with it.

[drew @Andevrs]

Trying out a different character style. No animations yet, though there will be. I'm just testing the art. #redotengine #indie

[drew @Andevrs]

@thisissomeuser @Redot_Engine I'll revisit the game for sure.

[drew @Andevrs]

Proto type in @Redot_Engine. Trying to figure out the paper Mario style flip.

[drew @Andevrs]

@thisissomeuser @Redot_Engine Yeah I was just seeing if I could get a flip. This is just a 180 degree rotation, nothing else happening here yet.

[drew @Andevrs]

@VibrantBlack_ @Redot_Engine That was actually some pixel art I made for another game. I'm doing some different style art for this one. I just wanted to see if I could get the basic effect. It will have animations :P

[Roglyph - Character RPG @RoglyphGame]

In case you thought Roglyph was only about letters and numbers, here's a board games biome full of chess pieces. A glyph can be anything that has a text character. #indiedev #roguelite

[drew @Andevrs]

@SolidusBlitz @EhBuddy3 @tyminski_marek They've already stated Lords of the fallen 2 will not be on steam, only Epic. Unless they've changed their minds.
