Iโ€™m not so sure about that. I find the sentiment concerning as well, donโ€™t get me wrong. Bill Maher falls squarely off my barometers for wisdom & empathy.

Some mild hypocrisy is not the same as cold-blooded murder and full-blown ineptitude.

Iโ€™m becoming more and more convinced that smartphones, while very fun, were something of a mistake.

Upcoming (serious) Web performance boost โ€“ Godot Engine Compiling the Godot Engine with WASM SIMD support truly is a game changer.

Good news for game jam entries running in the web! Every drop of performance counts :)

To be clear, review bombing (especially just to be a jerk) is not cool. But this is not just review bombing; it's genuine frustration from a player-base who wants the game to be better.

And Mahler's reaction just feels... scummy and entitled?

Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back Studio head Thomas Mahler is having one, with a series of confusing, contradictory social media posts

So, I rarely comment or humor this kind of stuff, but Thomas Mahler's complaints about No Rest For The Wicked reviews are just off-base. The launch was bad, dude. You raised expectations too high and did not deliver on quality. It happens. You're burning goodwill like gasoline.

Triple backticks is a bit of a drag on phone, but they I realized every time I've tried to write a code snippet or really long quote on phone I kinda regret it, so never mind.

>>>Something like this<<< or >>>maybe this>>>? Or a something else entirely.
