Got hit with the incredible error "418 I'm a teapot" for the first time ever.

I knew about HTCPCP but not this error!

> The HTTP 418 I'm a teapot status response code indicates that the server refuses to brew coffee because it is, permanently, a teapot.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Permit me a thread ๐Ÿ™‡: Thank you so much to anyone that's picked up BIRDCAGE; played it, given us a review, listened to the OST. It's massively appreciated! We put so much work into this game over the last 2-3 years and it's not even really sunk it, that it's real and that it's out.

Tama In-Between on Steam An action-puzzle game where the slime cat "Tama" explores a mysterious, slightly melancholic pixel-art world. Use three unique actionsโ€”Absorb to grow, Split to divide, and Swap to switch bod...

Managed to make Kobe Game Labyrinth for an hour this afternoon.

Tama In-Between was the standout game for me!
Really polished puzzle-platformer with Elechead vibes but a pretty different mechanic.

At first I thought this would just be baking a 3d animation, or just using a simple palette swap, but it actually goes a bit further. Clever technique, basically UV mapping sprites into texture space.

Incredible video. The best (only) excel video I've ever watched the whole way through.
Also possibly one of the most information dense videos I've ever seen too. Conclusion/questions at the end is perfect.
