Like EGS is poor, It being linked to Tim Sweeny just makes it overall worst.

Like Tim's hate boner for Steam + his love for AI make the extra 18% that Steam takes over EGS all the better. At least the very few times Gabe talks he isn't putting down other stores and is usually fairly competent.

When I eventually get off my ass and start releasing games, I really do wanna my games accessible. That being said, It is very difficult to publish a game on Epic in good faith when this is the CEO.

Creating a website to "host" my Hytale mods on because I refuse to post my mods onto CurseForge.. Anyway here is my wicked ass Favicon I whipped up...

Super sick I know took hours of work :D

Age verification is no longer exclusive to accessing explicit content, soon we will have to verify ourselves for everything we do online. 

We explain why #AgeVerification could mean:

❌ Less anonymity
❌ More surveillance
❌ A less free internet

Anyway, Checkout my shitty C code on your favourite platform

I also brought this up when I was first trying out the two, But GitHub does still feel like it is more "community" centric than GitLab. But that is also a double edged sword... I'm just glad I can auto mirror.

Like this ability alone is the reason at least my solo tinkering projects are hosted on GitLab.. I know they have like a 10GB cap which might cause problems in the future, And then I might switch back to GitHub for big projects.

But still..

Does anyone know if this feature is on other Git hosts? I feel like GitLab and maybe Codeberg (I can't remember but I feel like I saw it there) have it.

If only we hadn't been right about #ageverification spreading in 2026. 😤

Let's keep fighting for #privacy and #anonymity 💪

Shoutout too all the Hytale modders out there who have made their mods source available.

Too my knowledge no docs, so being able to pick apart your projects is a god send!!

Less than 24 hours until Early Access release... we are almost home ❤️ #Hytale

I will never forgive large studios dropping their first party engines for Unreal.

This year might somehow be worst than 2025 when it comes to the weird AI tech bros.

Tim Sweeny not exactly defending, but calling AI Generated CSAM a side effect of progress. And something that is bound to happen at some point.

Was not on my 2026 bingo card.

I'll just take the good, 3rd option and wait for Hytale to release the official in house one. Even if it takes a year or two.

I use Startpage which doesn't have the AI overview, but I do know that at the very least Overwolf pops up in thunderstore privacy policy.

I also don't think overwolf made the mod manager, the Thunderstore team just forked r2modman and integrated Overwolf.

Thunderstore is unfortunately still owned by overwolf.

It's not about learning, I can program in Java just fine. I just hate it.

12.01.2026 13:07 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

Not that Java is bad by any means, just an ass to setup.
I have more luck compiling C code then I do setting up a Java dev environment.

That being said though, pretty sure it will be using Java for modding. Which isn't something I'm against learning, I just hate Java with a burning passion.

Definitely excited to try creating stuff on Hytale, shame they had to go with CurseForge for their partners. But we roll with the punches.

Aight, let's see how better posts do here than on Tw*tter!

We made our first game on Steam! And our first game in general.

⭐ How did it go?
⭐ Now what?
⭐ New game sneak peek?

Eventually I do wanna go full local, and even setup like a Jellyfin. But I listen to way too many genres & artists for me to practically set that up at the moment. Plus I lack the hardware, though I could maybe just gut an old laptop.
