Figured I would slowly release chapters to motivate me to finish the later chapters, if you read please be kind I am not a writer & I'm dyslexic, but this is something I started probably 10 years ago at this stage. xavierstarr.com/novel

@Pat_Shunter65 Yeah it's my back porch, I had to relocate this fella as he was trying to crawl into my roof.

@XavierStarr That better not be your porch..

Snakes had possum for breakfast

Maraton is visually pleasing, maps are weird however. but struggling to find anything enjoyable about the gameplay, feels like a hollow art piece.

So who broke the internet this time

Same energy

I'm Excited, they have arrived.

Hey this cute cafe in winnellie has a burger I think you'd love @Kittu_Tv #Budju

One interesting cosmetic #PathOfExile2

@Pat_Shunter65 LOL nah just had a controller in a cupboard for too long and the battery had exploded the whole internal components were fried from the battery acid :(

@XavierStarr You need to lay off those interactive games that require fast hand movements!!

Anyone know of any good places in Australia to get a replacement/refurbished Oculus Rift S Controllers?

No game should have the right to system kernal, Things should be moving in the direction of zero trust and I believe change starts with Microsoft and Steam.

@pirategrayson I havn't had facebook for 10 + years, found it far fake and toxic deleted my account and never looked back.

@XavierStarr I’m assuming Facebook connections, people you have as a friend there get suggested if your accounts are linked at all. But also honestly who knows, there is basically no privacy if online.

I want to draw her

@GeersArt I support this initiative

my goal is to get all of my artwork banned on EU internet

Cut down the altar

I pulled the trigger on the QK101, super excited to have F Keys back. youtube.com/watch?v=8LOTGn…

Phaser or Gadot? 🤔

@PirateSoftware @oxcrowx Point 5. are you saying you frown upon the act of reverse engineering and decompiling of software for investigative purposes? being a self proclaimed in the cyber security "expert" that to me just sounds incredibly hypocritical as that is the culture of the industry.

I had a few thousand people dogpile into my stream about this today. 1. I chose to do pixel by pixel CPU based lighting over using a shader to ensure the system was compatible with machines that could not compile shaders. This was helpful for a number of regions such as Brazil where the game has been very popular. 2. Heartbounds native functional resolution is 360p meaning the normal lighting assets are less than 100x100 on the highest end. At no time would any asset be 800px wide and as such the performance benchmark they made is meaningless. The lighting when used correctly increases cpu usage over baseline a negligible amount and runs on both a smartfridge and handhelds with zero performance issues. What they did is like driving a manual, not knowing how to use a clutch, and then blaming the car. 3. All of this was written in GMS 1.4 back in 2018. A massive number of modern features in GM did not exist then. Updating this now would give trivial benefits to performance without any gameplay improvements. The framework is functional, performant, and shipped. It does not need to change as a result. 4. The only bottleneck in development is writing. It's a choose your own adventure game. I take weeks to do the writing and implementation is roughly an hour for 3 weeks of writing or more. The framework is what it needs to be, quick, harmless, out of the way, and easy to develop for so I can focus on content. 5. Doing all of this off decompiled code and proudly displaying that is dubious at best. A number of oddities are present in their examples that are not in the source. The legality of doing this is also subject. At no time have I given permission for decompilation nor is the source code publicly available. 6. I have been releasing monthly updates for Heartbound since January. All of these can be seen in the Steam Announcements on the games page. The last one was May 28th for the June update. I released it early as I was visiting the EU for TwitchCon. All these videos have done is mislead an audience of hundreds of thousands about the inner workings of a piece of software. They did this using biased and sometimes false information in order to push a narrative that I am incompetent in my field. Anyway, hope they enjoy the witch hunt for views and selling more $350/hr resume review slots. LOL

Coding Jesus criticizes @PirateSoftware saying he should've written his code in an efficient way. Kindly note that Thor's game runs efficiently even on a Refrigerator. Yet they aren't satisfied as their intention isn't to provide constructive criticism. It's something else.

Side note, my site is personally coded myself so if you notice any weird issues with rendering on different devices I have not yet tested lemme know and I will fix. 🥺
