Uhhhh. Strange events are occurring. Neither of these are me. I'm cool with the vast majority of UF knockoffs because people broadly use it as a fun creative jumping-off point, but these are both just... straightforwardly impersonating my work in order to make money. What do I... do about this?

I've worked with Josie on and off for eight years and she's never brought anything less than her absolute best to the table. An incredible composer, a fantastic musician, and a consummate professional. She's among the best. If you need music for your project: you want Josie. Trust me.

found myself posting a take, which means it's time for me to log off again. bye!

i forget sometimes that indie can mean someone who goes to an office and gets paid a salary and has company health insurance. in my mind it will always be one guy, working alone, with a leather jacket and a broad brimmed hat, swinging across spike pits with his whip, hating snakes,

Does anyone know how a difference in OS language might cause Unity to attempt to save a JSON file but, somewhere along the way, instead create a file that's 339 empty space characters and nothing else

we are ON ONE in this week's episode of Side Story as we talk about the summer of the coin and anthology of the killer sidestory.show/16-paradise-...

started to hypothesize a new food that perfectly matches the chemical composition of the human body before realizing i was just reinventing eating human flesh from first principles

fairy cool S

> fairy "circle" > look inside > it's square

they should make fairy circles that are different shapes. like you go out in the woods and there's a big pentagram of mushrooms. or like a stop sign

Cursed thought of the day: is it possible to make a game that shows something different in screen recording than what's shown directly to the player

sometimes science fiction is building out a really strong coherent metaphor that resonates through the whole story, and sometimes it's about just changing a fundamental part of reality and see what shakes out as characters react to it
