Worse still

Hey #gamedev, I REALLY need help. @unity blocked my account because they billed me for Unity Plus, a product that doesn't exist anymore. I thought it was a mistake or fraud so I flagged it with PayPal. Unity locked me out of my account and I can't even update payment details. 🧵

[Will (アイリス・バーニング) 💾 @lucid_coder]

There's 5-figures worth of Unity assets in that account that I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose access to part of my livelihood and creativity because of a mistake. I really need help and I'll do anything to get access to my account back. @unitygames or anyone else?

Hey when is autism awareness month? I'd like to have awareness again

I really kinda hate that with both Unity and Unreal, often the most effective solutions boil down to "do it yourself, don't use anything the engine provides," because frequently those built-in components don't scale well.

It's especially apparent with procedural generation

@FreyaHolmer CSS kinda just sucks in general. I appreciate what it accomplishes but it makes me wonder if this really is the best we can do

[Will (アイリス・バーニング) 💾 @lucid_coder]

@FreyaHolmer totally understandable tbh

The public schooling I had growing up drilled the concept into my head, but didn't explain it beyond "independent = the thing you change, dependent = the thing you measure afterwards" and use it as a framework for devising science fair projects

@AnnoyingDroid When it's surface-mounted chip modding, particularly BGA soldering, it's probably worth the money, but only because the equipment to do that (well) is specialized

@PsychoFizz @danooct1 Does he just eat them plain? What an animal.

@gennysherard Holy shit, what a post from that person. Red flags abound.

[Will (アイリス・バーニング) 💾 @lucid_coder]

I fucking hate how the internet has trained everyone to be on their guard and assume intentions.

My choices are
1. Write a fucking paragraph no one will read because i_aint_readin_all_that.jpg but at least you made your intentions clear
2. Not write enough and people assume shit

@ronscompvids VEE-SUH is my credit card, VESS-UH is the bus 😉

@confleiks I've enjoyed reading this as the issues come out, it's just generally very good

@AnnoyingDroid That is an INSANELY based gift

@ashleygodbold Oof.😑 Love the systemic failure there.

Mine was just really dissatisfied with my reasons for not taking an offer, in which I confided some private-life stuff to make clear why I reneged (because he pressed for reasons)

My mistake, guess I'll just block numbers in the future

[Will (アイリス・バーニング) 💾 @lucid_coder]

Today I had a recruiter get *actively angry* at me for changing my mind on a job offer process, that sure was an experience.
