@theavalkyrie I feel this. I have an empty GitHub but that doesn't mean I dont do side projects! I have a TON. I'm not a big name so I doubt I'd get many views on any of my projects, but the social obligation I'd feel to add features, fixes, or respond has turned me off from making them public
@kashuurald This happened to me recently! Game Dev friend sent me a link and asked to try out his game. His account was compromised and I didn't know. Luckily I use an external password manager so only discord was compromised. Please everyone use unique passwords and a manager!
I was hacked a week ago on Discord, I was convinced by the scam. Thinking it was legit.
I want to share my experience and raise awareness for Discord users and game devs alike.
SCAM: "Can you try out my game?" (Advanced level)

@jaymargalus thoughtful pieces like these that try to breakdown the intended use case of decentralized systems are drowned out because a vast majority of people in the space are there for the grift. Why contemplate the use case when you can sell a digital pop-vinyl of an ape for $200k?
@jaymargalus A refreshing critique on web3 and NFTs. I agree that the push for web3 feels like a gold rush, with vested interests pushing for a new "metaverse" where their speculative investments can be spent.
I've been following the incredibly fascinating drama of the GameStop stock online community with rapt attention all year.
Yesterday was GameStop's annual shareholder meeting. It also marked the day the community transitioned to full-on Qanon-level conspiracy cult. A thread!
