inversion of the idle genre would be to make a game where you micromanage absolutely everything. it's a turn-based simulation game and if you don't instruct a character to breathe during their turn they just die

always interesting when i see a french person online engaged in the traditional french art of webcomic blogging. other artists occasionally indulge in this too (hourly comics etc) but drawing regular webcomics about your life has been enduringly endemic to France since at least 2003. i was there

part of why we need diversity in game development btw. one person's unremarkable everyday life can be another's "whoah this worldbuilding is insane"

hey i made this in 2 days for april fool's. check it out orteil.dashnet.org/emojigacha/

simply uninterested in a castlevania game that's not pixel art. sorry

don't trust anything they call "centaurs" in a horror setting it's always some fucked up shit

i think whatever replaces Discord should let us move little avatars around. this has nothing to do with my "bring physicality to social media" agenda i just think it'd be a good rational sensible thing to have. oh yeah and give them little pixel art outfits & items too (my breath gets heavier,)

oh yeah fuck ICE

i'm having a lovely last day of the year and everything is exploding outside so i coded some fireworks today! absolutely no concern for performance this WILL make your phone heat up orteil.dashnet.org/fireworks.html

i really really do not believe everything should be an electron app, especially not OS elements. leave javascript to us freaks we know the evil we're dealing with

This is is getting kids hooked thru gambling mechanics. These are all the same tricks used by online gambling. Coded for kids. Its fucking the grossest thing. It makes me be ashamed to be in the same industry. Burn it with fire.

we lost our way when disk space started allowing for fully-voiced game protagonists. the only things i want to hear out of my character's mouth is "uhmf" (jumping) or "oueurghh" (mauled by bear)

they don't talk about "blogosphere" or "netizens" anymore we're all just hapless companions of shit

i carefully test my posts on tumblr first to make sure i only serve you guys the best

learning music theory taking me places i don't feel safe in

making software is about offering solutions. making video games is about offering problems

the internet happened too fast i never even got to go to a cybercafe
