But for the first 1-2 years that was not the case, a lot of developers physically moved to avoid mobilisation and affiliation. Basically Russian gamedev is now split between Serbia, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Poland, etc... Which is a good indication of these devs moral stance on the war.

The case was Valve's payment processor (Xsolla, I thiiink?) shut down the payments for all banks to avoid accidental breach of sanctions, as by mid-2022 I think only Raiffaisenbank was safe to work with. I just googled and currently there are indeed legal workarounds setup for buyers and devs.

Ух, ну тогда дай тебе сил пережить brain zaps и прочие спецэффекты и назад в продуктивность!

Слушай, а он вообще с концентрацией помогает-то в итоге? А то у кого не услышу - все ругаются в итоге.

(There are probably workarounds by now, but for gods sake, I usually see these comments under indie games made by like 5 person teams fueled by instant ramen and enthusiasm, that totaly can't afford the workarounds...)

All of that is especially annoying, knowing that Steam blocks widthdrawing profits to Russia since 2022, and all the taxes go to Kazakhstan / Georgia / Armenia or something in many-many cases.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Okay.

The state of Kansas wants me to file my 2023 taxes.

So I file. I'm on a payment plan because I'm poor.

Then the state of Kansas wants me to file my 2024 taxes.

So I file.

I'm told I 'broke your promise' by... filing my taxes, which changed my tax load due to time going forward.

That's just so fucked up man... Hang in there, lemme check something.

sherman, for the love of god!

На самом деле да - это они про всякие хаги-ваги...

За алкашами с "белочкой" взялись по ходу.

The studio moved physically and legally to Kazakhstan in 2022 for the reasons you’re asking your questions

Saw what appeared to be a painting of a magpie on the ground, but on closer inspection it might just be some random dirt. Its eye is a ladybird that decided to sit there.

The quorum.
Кворум.

After my good experience with the Silent Hill f shirt I decided to check out what else Konami has on their official store and this genuinely might be the most unhinged singular piece of merch out there.
