@TheGamesDet It sucks. It really does. It's hard to want to help people who aren't winning to return the favor. I've seen so many communities start off great only to find out that everyone is in it for themselves. Full of drive by promotions. And then the communities die off.

Me: Sorry, but I cannot keep supporting everyone if nobody supports me #indiedev #gamedev: Sorry to hear that you don't receive any support. Can you make a video about my game?

@notch Memes can be ansi animations!

Let's just go back to IRC again.

@ChrizDDv3 @TheCleanCarClub This is the history I learned.

@TheCleanCarClub The fish was used as a secret code when it was extremely dangerous to be a Christian. A Christian traveler could draw a single arch in the sand, and they knew the other was a Christian if they finished with the second arch that made a fish.

I keep seeing these on cars and I have no clue what it means. I’m assuming they like to fish or

@MIKANCANZUME @paranormal_2ch Other tank in the background?

@paranormal_2ch 密閉されて、カミソリの刃(?)も薬剤も触れない筈の 給油口の錆びまで落ちてます。 完全にフェイク動画です。 なんか気持ち、ツメの入るスリットの幅も ビフォア/アフターで違う気がします。

これすげぇーーー！！！

@Dexerto We're getting a Labubu movie before a Skibidy Toilet movie?

A Labubu movie is in early production at Sony and Pop Mart

@Dexerto That's why 4chan's the goat

4chan responded to a £520,000 Ofcom fine with an AI image of a giant hamster named Nigel J. Whiskerford They threatened to answer future fines with an "even larger rodent" like a marmot

@IndieGameJoe This relates to my #1 gamedev tip. Don't make games in genres you don't care about. Make games in genres you're passionate about.

Game devs, I really think it’s just as important to make something you’re actually passionate about. You don’t have to jump onto 'friendslop' trends just to make money, honestly. It doesn't even guarantee you'll make a viral hit. Make what you want to make, but do it well!

@MotoNutJob Cut a slot in it to slip over the wires?

Oh FFS

@DramaAlert That's too bad because TIL, there's a group of people who use a VR chat app that lets them communicate in ASL. This prevents Meta from recording their conversations.

Meta announces it will be SHUTTING DOWN its metaverse... $80,000,000,000.00 WASTED in development. GOOD BYE!

AI is all the hype but ChatGPT still can't do my dishes, Copilot can't fold the laundry, Gemini won't brush the snow off my car, Claude hasn't picked up after the dog. Stop asking ai to do the things you wish you could do.

@thomasbrushdev I sure as hell hope you meant "[...] something wrong with the render pipeline OR physics entirely."

Calling out into the wilderness for help: why might collision randomly stop working in a Unity build of a game. After about 1 hour of gameplay, certain collision just STOPS working for SOME objects (doors and crates, in my case). The only way for it to start working again is by closing the application entirely. This is significant because: the player controller that has this problem is RESPAWNED entirely fresh and new if you go back to the main menu. So you'd think the issue would fix itself once going back to the main menu. Which makes me think it's something wrong with the render pipeline of physics entirely. Some kind of corruption. Any thoughts?

@Kneon I think it started when there was a minimum length to get a 2nd ad roll. Then everyone learned the definition of "filler" and that's all it seems to be now.

PewDiePie noped out of the YouTube game right before it all went to shit. He made his money and makes content on his own terms now. Be more like PewDiePie. Because, frankly, it’s only gonna get worse from here on out.

@DevLand95213410 I like the strategy planning and execution or RTS or "4x" games.

What genre and game do you like? Only if you want to respond 😊 #gaming

@desert_starr_57 I speak whiney little bitch. This roughly translates to much admiration about how right you are about everything, and marveling at your omnipotent powers. But they also wish you would inform us on more important things like when will GTA6 release.

This comment from the animation video. I wish I could understand it, but alas, I don't speak whiney little bitch. I wish they would learn the definition of "grifter". They think saying it automatically dismisses other people's points. It doesn't but it makes them look dumb.

... and they want ai surgeons?

@DevLand95213410 I'm waiting for someone to claim video of me making my own game.

not cool

@feivisuals @thomasbrushdev That hop animation looks great!

@thomasbrushdev Working on a top down shooter with different roguelike and card games mechanics! x.com/feivisuals/sta… It has been a blast in the last week to start it out

How's everyone doin today? Whatcha workin on?

@UnityCodeMonkey I feel like you went on the defensive here. Just because I disagree with "make small games" doesn't mean I'm out to get you at every corner. You asked for tips, as a 9-5 dev, I felt qualified to provide some. PS. As a gym goer, I've defended your right to show off your abs.

@UnityCodeMonkey I suppose you could if it helps you destress.

Any tips on how to manage mental energy to be able to work on projects / study gamedev after a 9 to 5 job? This is a really tough task! So I think the first thing is just to acknowledge that if you're doing game dev after a 9-5 then you're doing it in hard mode. Therefore if you're doing this and it feels hard then that's normal, you're not "weak" or anything, it's just a very tough challenge to do game dev this way. In practical terms I would say focus on doing one thing, no matter how small, every single day. Even if it's just 10 minutes per day, if you do that consistently then over the course of 6 months you will have built a ton of stuff. I always recommend consistent daily practice, over not learning or doing anything for 5 days, and trying to cram it all in the weekends. Daily practice is always a lot more effective. And even more practically, to-do lists! I'm a huge believer in to-do lists, that's the very first thing I do when I wake up, I drink my tea and write my to-do list for that day. Then when I don't know what to work on next, I just look at the to-do list and pick the next task. That way I don't waste time thinking "what do I work on next?" I just pick something from the list. But yup it is a challenging path, best of luck!
