got called brave for riding #lametro every day twice a day. yes, every morning and every evening i'm enduring the unimaginable horror of spending about 20 minutes listening to music while a trained professional drives me past the traffic. it takes a lot of guts indeed #publictransit

Okay so when I'm finally a millionaire billionaire or whatever, my first ever big spend will be on powerwashing the fuck out of koreatown #losangeles. WITH SOAP. Dirty ass place

Finally understand why I avoided #manga for 15 years: I correctly predicted I'd become the person spending $15 to read what amounts to a pamphlet and going 'just one more volume' at 3am like some kind of literary crackhead. #Noragami volume 14. I'm fine. This is fine. We're all FINE. I'M NOT MAD.

I stg #linkedin isn't a real place, who approved this? Lol #Unilever jot down more ideas: What do Persil and Picasso have in common? They both revolutionized their mediums 🎨 Marmite and Machiavelli: Divisive. Unforgettable. Legendary. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore it 🖤

Bought a ticket to watch #RentalFamily this weekend for two reasons: 1. I love Brendan Fraser!!!! 2. My socially anxious ass literally cannot go to public alone so this is my lil challenge. Hope I don't chicken out. #socialanxiety

cant tell if nearly every #book and #game nowadays suck because I'm depressed, because I've developed a taste, or because everything became very same-y... #booksky #videogames

Me: i wanna be a famous writer with tons of readers!!! *Three people express their desire to read the continuation of my #fanfiction * Me: oh no that's too much pressure i literally can't do it omg omg omg #writingsky #writingcommunity #fanfic #authorsky

for my entire life i begged the universe to let me design a game, and im fucking designing a game. it is an ARG for our patrons, but i am, in fact, designing a game. should have been more specific that i wanted to design a VIDEO game, but hey, i'll take it! #gamedev #gamedesign

im mad because i wrote a #fanfic (and its my strongest work TO DATE) but i cant tell anyone that i wrote #fanfiction because people associate it with shite like "character X is alpha and breeds me in the barracks" or "character Y is a frat boy" #writingcommunity #booksky #writingsky

nintendo would be a good name for a month. like "i have an appointment on nintendo 3rd" or "where were you on the 22nd of nintendo"

i recall i was seeking tiktok reviews on this #book (i LOVED the series) and there was a girl who went all ballistic, and her whole displeasure was "the author describes the horrors of war therefore he endorses war, i stopped reading after 20 pages". bruh #booksky #medialiteracy #jonathanmaberry

#worldofwarcraft is not without flaws (who is? i still love it deeply) but the thing they absolutely NAIL is game feel. i stg nothing else makes dopamine go brr as much as pressing holy shock

how are people so brave posting their #indiegame stuff lol im in constant horror that someone sees something i did. im like simultaneously afraid but also craving someone looking at it. im pretty sure there's a disorder in the DSM like that already

so what will you choose? #gamedev #indiegame #corporate #officejob

my hot take for today is that #books written in first person need to say so explicitly in big bright letters right there on the cover. nothing ruins my excitement faster than starting to read only to realize it's first person present tense #booksky

most of my days as a noob #solodev look like this: opened #gdevelop at 10 am. stared at my event sheet for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to do what i wanna do. felt overwhelmed. read documentation, understood none of it. closed gdevelop at 1 pm. achieved nothing. ???? PROFIT #gamedev

im ngl as a former gifted kid im so bad at being bad at things and #gamedev calls me bad at things in like 6 different languages at once. a very humbling journey... and a painful one -_-

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later! #gamedev #indiegame

working with an artist on my #indiegame is a real test to my communication skills. i never realized just how unclear my instructions are lmao. good learning tho #gamedev

started a new office job (in-person, worked for 4 years remotely prior to that). im having withdrawals from #remote work. why can't we just agree to not wear pants in the office? this is my #1 complaint. #rto #officework

itch.io is popping off with suggestions today, what the hell is this this is so fun to play omg overboy.itch.io/noobs-are-co... @overboy-games.bsky.social GREAT FREAKING JOB cant wait for the release

i was concerned my digital marketing background and skills wouldn't be applicable to #gamedev at all but im finding it not to be true almost every day. makes my original career looks like a good stepping stone. did i.. make the right choice for once? :O

havent even finished v1 yet (its very far from being finished actually), already have ideas for v2 tho #gamedev #indiedev

TOUUUCH MEEEE IT’S SO EEEEASY TO LEEEEEAVE MEEEEEEE

I used to be a solo developer but then I asked chatgpt a code question and now everyone who has ever written code is on my team against their will

Good morning. It's Saturday and I'm writing news. "It's not hard to imagine ways in which repeating the myth of Clair Obscur's team size could contribute to worse conditions for games and the people developing them." www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

that "OH THATS WHY" moment when you finally spot the bug is genuinely addictive. its like solving a puzzle thats been personally insulting you for hours #gamedev #devlog #solodev

im thinking that i now need to add one more possible outcome when your "credibility" (aka good at your job) value reaches a certain point, the game is automatically lost and you're shown the screen "you were actually only here to train your #AI replacement" or something 🤔 #gamedev #devlog #indiegame

this is by far my favorite outcome of "get onboarded" task from my corporate hell game. i don't think you can draw in shared docs, but its hilarious and im keeping it #gamedev #corporateamerica

Please make a bad drawing, draft a poor text, leave your emails unread. Take a flat picture, butcher a melody, run out of ideas. Build a game no-one plays, a website no-one visits; a zero-downloads app. Please be bad, and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and fail and grow, damn you.

i finished #expedition33 5 days ago and i'm still thinking about everything. just utterly depressed both because of the story and because the game had the AUDACITY to be finite.

i would like to express my deepest respect to all the UI designers out there, whether web or game, this is a freaking hard work. thank you for making our websites and games not look and feel like shit #uiux #uidesign #gamedev

and here i was thinking the hardest part of my gave dev journey will be to actually code. nope, its selecting a font for my UI! send help #gamedev
