Screenshot from Mastodon of Riley replying to the same Bsky comment I have above. Riley Labrecque says: > @leetNightshade I donated to freetaxusa after using it because it was just that good

This says a lot, I feel better about the decision to try them out (see screenshot).

Thanks @rileylabrecque.com for the strong recommendation! I haven't filed yet, was trying to make sure they seem like a good legit place. I feel better about the choice to try them out now. 🤗

#TaxAct upgrades me to their deluxe package b/c I paid $3 in foreign taxes, charging $60 EXTRA.

...so I'm trying #FreeTaxUSA. They note b/c I paid below $300, I don't have to file Form 1116 for the foreign tax.

...TaxAct is charging me $60 for them to do absolutely nothing. Assholes. I'm done.

Wait, how/why did Star Citizen make the cut? 😲

...how could you forget all three at home?? 😝

Semi-official but somewhat outdated plugins from Epic, posted to GitHub. A lot of them haven't been updated in a while but they could still be useful to learn from.

Maybe you need a set of for Home and for Work AirPods. One set always in your bag for work, another always stays home. Win win?

Hey man, I'm not proud of it. ;p

(I'm actually ashamed, I don't have time to clean the space, too many more important things to do... o.o;)

I just hope we can get some phones that are 6", I'm tired of these large a** phones. And I see all of Motorola's are like 6.7" and up. 😭

My Pixel 5 is hanging in there, haven't yet seen the next phone that comes close to replacing it without bloatware.

Silicone molds are the best!

Did you know that the Unreal Engine EULA does not mandate you to show the UE logo at the start of your game? If you want to use it, you actually need to ask us for permission to show it.

You only need to credit UE in your credits, per unrealengine.com/eula.

It's crazy, but I swear by a pillow cube. I think it's 5 inches of supportive memory foam.

Oh, this is for side sleeping, not the best for back perhaps.

We all reap what we sow eventually. When payback comes - they better not be crying for "mercy".

But that's what gets me, always online even for single player. Ubisoft would need to patch offline (before shutting down servers). Have they done that for any of their titles?

Though I'm confused about that, Breaking point was released in 2019 and reached EOL in 2022, but was only added to Steam in 2023? wat.

Ubisoft officially ends support for Ghost Recon Breakpoint Operation Motherland is the last Ghost Recon Breakpoint update

oh good question. No new content, no more live-service updates, no more bug fixes. Servers remain active for single player and co-op play.

So, who knows how long servers will be up for.

Note the game is considered end-of-life by Ubisoft. (And is also an Ubisoft title)

So, enjoy it while you can?

Our next game is Verminsteel!

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun

PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

SkateBIRD on Steam Grind on bendy straws, kickflip over staplers, and carve killer lines through cardboard and sticky tape parks. Above all else, skate birds try their best!

omg. XD

Idk what area you're in, but @lataco.bsky.social does ICE coverage if you want to support them: lataco.com

Variables like this also work in the Watch Window, not just Immediate Window: {,,UnrealEditor-Core}::GFrameNumber

(I can't reply so...)

Is it about Phil Spencer, or the guy replacing him? Putting up an AI executive in charge of XBox doesn't sound like a great thing.

Why do they require so much prep when using an air fryer?

Measles is experiencing a significant comeback too. >.>

And I thought I had it bad when sneezing with a painful back, you take the cake I'm sure. Hang in there!

“Make bad game? Fired. Make good game? Fired. Make incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.” Original source of meme is from Parks and Recreation.

the video game industry is a mess

Krita or anything else. Please don't make me use GIMP. 😱

(I'll even take a dumb paint program like Paint.Net over it; there's actually a surprising plugin community behind this too)

We've done it. We've just hit the release button on our biggest game yet...

DEMON TIDES IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! AHHHHH!

An open world platforming adventure full of mysteries, challenges and a ton of customization! Express yourself through the movement and explore the oceans!

I keep hearing people mention Kagi, just haven't warmed up to the idea of paid search. I guess considering the alternative, I probably should.
