Hearing everyone say they love the game and that it was worth the wait really makes it worth it. Its been a journey, and ill probably do a post mortem and the end of the first month, but I wanna thank everyone that helped support this game being made. Really hope you all enjoy.

We need to do a case study on middle income Americans having zero ability to distinguish their personal taste from universal law

@heliofractal I still remember rushing home from school every day to play this game 🥺

hard to believe it’s been 10 years today since this game came out

@timsoret #ArtistsWhoHateMakingArt

Ok this crossed a threshold for me. This is legit. I always said this was coming but this is still extremely strange to witness something so profound happening. The upside is that we're about to see a lot more projects from many new creators across the world. Exciting times.

@DUSKdev Project Zomboid is my biggest frame of reference for this. In a game that slow, punishing the player for how they position their camera is a really interesting awareness mechanic. I liked having to swing around constantly. If the game were faster, I would hate it

I'm making an isometric shooter What's the most important thing to you in that sort of game, and ones one thing you hate?

@_kairiss Literally the plot of Cult of The Lamb

In deep woods, there is a banquet you're stumbling upon

1/2 🧵 YOU GUYS WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST FOUND‼️ 😂🤯 For the last 10 years I've been living in my hometown, and I never noticed that a car wash near me had a LARA CROFT STATUE STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING THIS WHOLE TIME!

Half Past Midnight

Three weeks, 50hrs+. First solo art piece I've completed in maybe a decade, first art show ever. Spontaneous, done because there was a local art show happening All I can think about is what i'll make next. Hoping this is the start of an addiction 🤞

@Wendigoon8 @mjarbo I'm with you, but I wouldn't say it's a skill thing. Anyone can and should do art, but art is a process, not a product. You engage in art by being cognitively involved in the creation of something. Requesting something from a black box is not "doing art".

It’s not your expression, it’s a machine given words that it uses to create a consensus of how other people have expressed it. Expression is your voice, not the voices of others serrated and dragged through a machine made to mimic your mouth. You express nothing, you forfeit your voice to allow the rest of humanity to speak for you. Here, you even say the ultimate goal is the erasure of human voices. Your “expression” leads to a lack of humanity, not a furtherance of it. Every iteration and invention of art has found new ways to allow us to culminate the human experience through sensation, but generative AI is cancer, it’s the cells of what we’ve already built spinning ad nauseam until all we “make” is what others have already made. It’s a dead end and lifeless, and goes against whatever spirit, soul, or God gave us the gift of creation in the first place.

Never unsubbed from someone so fast. No one is owed anything or entitled to anything. What you make of things is what you make of things, some people will get further than others that is just a fact of life But to diminish someone else for how they expressed themselves is rather bigoted, short-sighted, and ultimately will lose out in the end The reason why you see so many of these YouTubers coming out and saying that nobody deserves to make art, is because they're worried that they themselves will be replaced by those who are more capable of using the technology in the tools available to be better at the kind of content that they make The screed from wendigoon is just fear. Eventually somebody will make an iceberg list of YouTubers that failed to anticipate where the puck was going, and he'll be on there

@mothedballs There probably isn't something wrong with you, you probably just have the world's most accessible addiction (maybe second to coffee) Don't internalize this shit as some kind of personal mania. This stuff is insanely addictive. It's normal. You can get help for it

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

@u_m_a_m_i Are you really on my timeline with this shit going: "sauce" and trying to play it off all cool?

We need to have a discussion.

ok you gotta stop pre-ordering it if this becomes a bestseller i will be very pissed off - it must remain niche

@gOPwbi7qqtWeD9o Is this your work or someone else's?
