Also the kind of thing a high-profile game can weather because (a) enough people will buy it regardless and (b) impossible to pass it off as your own work.

They're using a custom build of the engine with some bespoke features, which makes it less amenable (though I guess not impervious) to the "decompile-reupload" thing that some Godot games have seen. Definitely love the vibe/attitude though!

missed my window to get whatever $3 Facebook was offering us as a settlement because it went to my spam box because "Hey free pre-paid debit card by clicking here" is pretty highly associated with scammy nonsense!

still should do this podcast, imho

but I'm also remembering the last time you and I were talking about berries (because bananas are technically berries!!!) and we had just assumed Lord Cavendish sucked but it turned out that his politics were actually pretty good for, you know, British aristocracy

"Let me nuance that..." is a phrase heard often in theology classrooms and I think the overall attitude has seeped into me

yeah, I just typed "our pal Knott" but today's "the shitty people are at it again" vibe I had a moment of "wait maybe he's not our pal" and wanted to qualify

ANYWAY: berries are tasty

it's a cross-breed of some other kinds of berries and it was the work of our pal Knott*

(* Knott might have been an asshole; I'm not researching that right now)

I remember when I first lived in LA someone told me Knotts invented the boysenberry and I thought that was ridiculous and then I found out it was true and I was like "that IS worthy of a festival"

on LMNO I did a whole presentation about how that game builds companionship.

the "9 games" meme with:

Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Rez
Marathon
Planetfall
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Super Mario World
Final Fantasy VI
SimCity 2000
Thief: The Dark Project

the "9 games" meme with: Sly 2: Band of Thieves Rez Marathon Planetfall Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Super Mario World Final Fantasy VI SimCity 2000 Thief: The Dark Project

I don't think this at all explains the games I ended up making but it does explain which games I am most likely to get sucked into / bounce off of.

It's oddly reassuring to see war with Iran going exactly like how everyone has said it would for the last several decades

I mean, this is a trick question; they're all the best character, but Princess is the best of the characters, if that makes sense

News agency develops staff and skills to publish natively in almost 30 languages but no way to stop Metaโ€™s autotranslate from doing a shoddy attempt.

I see this too with friends who post multiple languages at once; reading the autoslop alongside their intentional translation is bizarre.

Wasn't allowed to be in a room alone with her *again*. The "again" was the most chilling part of that.

I like Slay the Spire but I am terrible at Slay the Spire, thus I am excited for the multiplayer in Slay the Spire 2 so someone can play with me and help me get better at Slay the Spire

Ah, but what if THIS war is actually the righteous one that history books will cast me as the fool if I don't support?

Odds are slim, plus people are dying right now and they don't care about your legacy so maybe just try and stop the bombs from falling if you're in a position to do that?

What's amazing is that in the 80+ years since WW2, simply opposing every war, knowing nothing else about it, has shown it will become the correct, accepted position over time. It's the political stance equivalent of investing in the S&P 500: safe, a little boring maybe, but outlasts all others.
