Every place has AI music now and I hate it so much.

- The hardware store

Can't escape hell

Can't wait for the first subscription exclusive AAA game and the piracy that will inevitably follow

What I usually do is talk to the UI Coders I work with.

Don't need to know how to write code to have a concept of how the UI is put together

Just had a vivid dream of a friend who passed away two years ago. What a surprisingly pleasant experience.

I see how people interpret this as their loved ones visiting them cause it surely feels like it.

When Paizo unionized, I got a raise amounting to thousands of dollars. I also get a higher cost of living salary increase every year in addition to my seniority salary increase. I have incredible job security. I have advocates if I have grievances. Unionizing is hard and scary but so worth it.

To be fair: It can be a bit finicky in places and you'll probably have to learn new things but I think it's well worth it for the control and understanding you gain for your system.

Yeeeeaaa.
Or you could switch to Linux. It's fun easy and free.

Talking feminisms, Gaza, Trump with my dad's friends all evening. The nanosecond I mention "left and right wing" I'm being told to not make it political...

I happen to have some experience with putting up political stickers that get torn down a lot myself. You know, against things I believe to cause harm to people (Fascists mostly).

Never in a million years would I think of doing such a thing. These are beyond evil cowards.

For everyone who struggles with UI design in their games: It's basically this, until you run out of time or money 🥲

I read Hammer 2 on the website and that's all I need to know 🤩

Is Monstercat relevant in any way anymore?

Started using Linux a few weeks back and it's been great for me. Most things are really easier than people make them out to be.

Haven't put in the time to get affinity apps to run yet but getting my system to work how I want was a lot of fun so already.

That applies to far fewer games sadly

One of the perks of being a gamedev is being able to say "oh I know someone who worked on that" on a surprisingly regular basis

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

New sunglasses fit check.
They work surprisingly well with the poncho

Mike says he doesn't have an answer for what to do about the current state of the games industry, but I have one that will help.

Technology ever just looses it's visual character with time

Also if you still end up using a label don't put the most relevant piece of information as plain text aaall the way at the bottom after colorful logos where no-one will read it.

it's become increasingly difficult for me to look at the news in the past few days. idk everything is so fucked everywhere and everything just gets worse

The banner of Zohran Mamdanis campaign website. It's a blue banner on a orangy-yellow background separated with a fun wave pattern. In the middle Zohrans name in yellow with a red extruded shadow. And two red "vote June 24” badges on the right and left side.

People at a rally holding up different signs of the Mamdani campaign

I mean look at this!
How fun are these?! This really does an outstanding job of communicating Zohrans personality and a departure of the same-same establishment slop.
Also it's very reminiscent of when advertisements used to be hand-lettered adding an additional human touch.

Zohran for NYC Zohran Mamdani is running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers.

Sure Mamdani is great and all but I haven't heard anyone talk about how cool the graphic design of his campaign is

I love everything about it. The colours and font choice are so bold and full of character

Definedtly the most memorable campaign design language I've ever seen

ai art is the modern aesthetic of fascism

I don't know if I'd call what is more likely lack of knowledge about a certain topic "ignoring it" tbh

"Why did you even test yourself? 🤨"

Because we actually care about our friends and we're not selfish assholes, Karen.

We regularly test ourselves when we get sick especially before gatherings.

For some reason my partner's family is very judgemental about it. I have the theory that it's a defence mechanism because they know it's the right thing to do but they wouldn't do it themselves so they act like it's wrong

Oh yeah completely makes sense that this is happening. Different societal circumstances will breed different forms of protests
