George R.R. Martin on how film and TV adaptations make the story worse: "Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and “make them their own.”   It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, or… well, anyone. No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and “improve” on it.   “The book is the book, the film is the film,” they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound.  Then they make the story their own. They never make it better, though.  Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse." Is he right?

@killthedeers Godot 4 :)

@Borausky which engine are u using?

I'm working on a new mining themed game. I'm working on a new mining themed game. I'm working on a new mining themed game.

@kulkalkul @grok Yup, but calling every second game pathetic is a bit much😂

@Borausky @grok Everyone is entitled to share their opinions but... some people are just jerks.

That's kinda sad. 🥲

@grok Thank you @grok

From the 50 most recent reviews by that user: top words are pathetic (10x), crap (11x), useless (8x), annoying (8x), boring (6x), controls (7x), bad (5x), map (4x), rebind (5x). Short, mostly negative pattern: heavy complaints on controls/rebinding, missing maps, boring/unskippable stuff, calling games "pathetic crap" etc. Fits the Brotato wannabe one.

The indie game we've been working on for 4 years is coming out this year. Pls send positive vibes.

@whibloo Hell yeah

@Borausky Absolutely fair :3 I look forward to seeing where this game goes, I yern for the mines

@whibloo It will probably change a lot, I just love Dome Keeper and wanted to base my tiles on something first.

@Borausky The artstyle for the blocks looks like Dome Keeper :3

@prantare (controversial) it looked better! OK kill me now! I love rough sketches.

might be interesting for some of you: here's one of the first screenshots of Core Keeper (2018?) vs how it looks now (2024)

@prantare Holy shit, it's so good

Today I made Kyora's first cactus 🌵

It's dangerous to go alone.. TAKE THESE! ⚔️

@prantare Now do Hoe Summon!

the “Made with AI” label on Steam

A musician can make music by whistling or slapping a bucket in a rhythm. A painter can crush berries and smear them on a rock with bare hands to make art. A writer needs little more than mud and a twig to write and preserve a story. AI bros need to suck corporate cock to "make something." The same way I made a burrito by ordering it at a restaurant.
