Is It's a Wonderful Life public domain yet? Can I make a side scrolling beat-em-up George Bailey: What's Wrong With Daddy. Special attacks Zuzu's petals, throw loose staircase decorative knob, summon grieving pharmacist for rat poison attack

Either have untreated diabetes or overusing my mangekyou sharingan or just have a little moisturizer in my eye again. Will update

starcraft had the best animations

Crazy that no one got raptured except for unborn babies who met the Roe v Wade criteria for viability

If you read the bible a certain way, God's last act of creation made Adam's rib into Eve. So the, uh, Divine Stove's knob is still turned to "turn ribs into people". So what if someone accidentally turned the stove on and couldn't get it off. Anyway that's where the monsters in my book come from.

#1000xresist is the first visual novel I've tried and I am having a very good time. But I mean it is ethereal space giants with judeo-christian imagery being used for horror so of course i am.

Bought the one game in Japan that doesnt run in english on an American switch. Dragon Quest 11s, rip

Like and retweet if this is somehow the first time the political violence rampant in this country for the past decade has affected someone inside your tiny circle of empathy

Ahh...culture...the finer things

Look, Zuck, Chewy, I appreciate your confidence in me but I'm just not this interesting.

Slightly diminish a book The Catcher in the Pumpernickel

Taking a girl home to do the clay scene from Ghost but I don't know how to model clay so we're building a Gundam

So, as an adult who is very perceptive of body language and can read a room well, but who was an awkward and socially challenged kid. How do you know if you're neurotypical and grew out of being a "weird kid". Or if you were (are) a bit autistic and just kinda rawdogged learning social cues.

My youtube algorithm used to give reliable gold because my interests are mostly hour long slideshows about history and finance. But guess what is extremely easy to create with AI! Literally dozens of multi 100k subscriber slop factories popped up overnight in what used to be a small area.

Some thoughts on #RedRising after reading through the first trilogy in a week without a lot of sleep...

Man. Just loving the Red Rising trilogy. Making me feel like a kid tearing through library books again.

I think Professor X is just pretending to use that big golf ball thing to search for mutants. Really he built that thing for the power to be his middle school bully's sleep paralysis demon every night.

Reposting this oldie because I’m bored

So many attempts later... Got very close with a strength + whirlwind build. But evolve/fire breathing/2x flame barrier/2x wild strike is what pulled through finally. #slaythespire

Black bro on the subway asked who does my beard. Only time in my life I have felt cool. (I do it myself)

I have finished Starcraft and Brood War. (Actually I could not beat the last Brood War mission it is too hard). I started Starcraft II and WHAT have they done to the sound effects?? A travesty.

IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE Black Lived Matter No Human Is Illegal Deep Dish Isn't Real Pizza Science Is Real

Finally read Red Rising after every tool listed it as the best comp to my novel. Just like the cover blurb said, "First Ender, then Katniss, now Darrow" I was just as hooked as w Ender's Game and Hunger Games. I guess my favorite genre is "Weirdo plays Taskmaster with life and death stakes"

I'm not sure if it's nostalgia or what but after not having fun with games for a while now I downloaded 1998 Starcraft and could not put it down until I beat it. Never actually beat it as a kid.

Mfw when my wife asks if we can "just fucking go to Starbucks please" instead of waiting 20 minutes for a 98.8% pure product from the espresso machine I bankrupted our family to buy last month

Realized I was using hyphens instead of em dashes my whole manuscript. There's no em dash on the keyboard why's that the one you're supposed to use

In hindsight probably was not a Pro Gamer Business Move for Microsoft to buy a bunch of studios and then create Game Pass, which is doing to the value of games exactly what Spotify did to the value of music.

SCREAMING

We're at the point where a Roman style restaurant where they put grapes in your mouth while you lie on a fainting couch with palm frond twinks fanning you would absolutely do numbers with influencer people, right?

Crazy that even with billions of dollars and eons spent on photorealistic graphics, mocap, voice acting, etc. that no big budget video game has ever been more immersive than the, like, median novel. And I'm borderline aphantasic.

Who wore it better

Just wanted to play a little Rome Total War 2 and unite the Achaean sea under Macedon and of course Rome has to declare war out of nowhere. Can't have shit around here (263 BC)

Xman whose power is he can make all the little tortilla chip fragments at the bottom of the bag form into normal chips big enough to scoop salsa with

Hey this is starting to feel like playing a game... A lot of work on AI and UI this past two weeks. It was a fun challenge making the algorithm for the AI to figure how to maximize damage and how to hit you when they could have melee, melee attacks with AOE, ranged attacks with AOE, etc. #indiedev

Something that sucks is if you add 1 billion people to the world, you probably add 1 million pieces of art created per year, but do not meaningfully increase the demand for unique pieces of art. Even with a trillion people you'd probably have most people watching the same 4 Netflix shows.

Added attack animation! Still working on replacing the placeholder "get hit" animation. #indiedev

When I'm hungry and there is a bakery

Using randomly generated ancient world names for the indiedev project and everyone's favorite copper merchant showed up lmao

My Australian Cattle Dog. (This is right-side up in her country)

He's an extremely fancy wizard and smug about it

Little sketches today. Looking for a style that will look neat for character portraits in game

I tried out Expedition 33. Timing windows are too tight and too impactful imo. Loved Sekiro and Guitar Hero. But those games are rythmic and missing the parry is expected as you learn an enemy. 33 feels like trying to parry a Goofie Movie perfect cast that wipes the party if you mess up.

Thr Delphic Oracle style spellcaster. She uncaps the amphora on her back and inhales fumes collected from a fissure in the earth to charge up a spell. She wears ribbons that flap around as she gets charged. This warns her allies ( too blasted on fumes to speak straight ) (She thinks they look cool)

Chat is this praxis

Another scalpel, pick, and hacksaw off the top of the query letter. Under 250 words this time so I think I'm getting somewhere. #writing #amquerying

An ancient world setting is fun for gamedev because you can model your spellcasters after delphic oracles who got high as a kite from noxious fumes out of the ground to give their prophecies. So yes it is going to take Lannica three turns getting absolutely zooted out of her gourd to cast fireball.

I think there's three pieces of art I have to tell people yes, you should see this, but not if you want to feel okay for the rest of the week and somehow the list is 3. Grave of the Fireflies 2. Come and See <a long distance> 1. the last four songs on Bo Burnham's Inside

Ni No Goony, the game where you play as a 1920s gangster and get isekai'd into an adventure with these guys

I will simply have the camera track whatever the player's mouse is currently over, he said, very stupidly. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #tactics
