turns out there's not a lot of game dev concepts you can teach in under 2 minutes with any sort of ease!
I love "game dev concept in under 2 minutes" videos as a format because it's always a guy sped up at 4x speed who sounds like he's trying to do a tutorial with a gun pointed at his face.

Sometimes I just need to watch this
it's really heartbreaking seeing my friends enjoy playing a video game. It's like they don't even realize that's exactly what the developers want them to do.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
dunno if a "glowdown" is a thing, but a Vampire Survivors sequel transitioning from "cool enemy-filled exploding chaos madness game" to "roguelike deckbuilder" definitely feels like one to me
Seen a few people playing all with different approaches. Some have mass bred bad horses to make competitors weaker, some min/maxed out excellent horses, and some have just bred ~monsters~ because it's just fun to do. At no point does the game try to punish you or really care about what you do in it.
It's easily a situation in design where you could overthink the design, set up a bunch of safeguards to keep you in line, and create something too limiting, but the promise of "just play with this fun little system of a world we made" is strong enough to stand on its own.
Watching a lot of people playing Horsey Game lately. I think it's very cool how it is just a bunch of interlinked systems that doesn't really preoccupied with enforcing a style of play to reach your goal. It just gives you the toys and lets you play.

Unfortunately SKRUB Squad might take a back seat for a couple months until I have more time. I'm getting a lot of creative outlet from my work these days, and my schedule is so packed now that solo dev will likely just burn me out. I'll pick up work on it when teaching finishes this spring!

About a week ago I adjusted the scale and camera height of my player controller because I noticed they weren't fitting through some common doorways
I had yet to test it in multiplayer so...imagine my surprise when I discovered that players are now half the size of the lobby NPCs ๐ #SKRUBSquad
Israel is announcing that the entirety of Dahieh is being ethnically cleansed a day after announcing that the entirety of South Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed.

Someone made art of a character and someone else tagged it Ultrakill spoilers. But I was like 'wait I didn't play much of Ultrakill so I guess this character is a spoiler' but otherwise I would've just thought this was a cool character so I guess I got spoiled now???
It's funny when someone tags something as a spoiler but it's not like, something you'd know is a spoiler without having seen all of the thing anyway. Like tagging it as a spoiler manages to come back around and make it a spoiler again.
