Loving the No Man’s Sky corvette builder. This is the Visionary Stonks. A ridiculously overpowered runabout that I use to vaporise pirates

I would raise the Titanic from the bottom of the Atlantic and have it transported to the Pacific and dropped into the Challenger Deep

Finally finished a massive rework of EGG HARVERSTER.

Give it a play if you're into eggs, mysterious caves, or building factories!

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

They don't need martyrs they dont need excuses they dont need rationales they want to be like nazis but the context is not Berlin 1933 mostly for the better frankly the point of comparison is to understand gravity of the threat and patterns of behavior not exact 1:1 repetitions of events

My slightly evil solution to this discourse:

Credits should be visually scaled based on the number of man-hours dedicated to the game.

In a lot of cases, you'd see one or two people the size of goddamn planets and some barely-visible fine print orbiting them.

Just establishing some perspective.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

as the only non-broke porn artist on the internet, the news these days has me constantly turning over the idea of starting some kind of like online payment processing-obfuscation business specifically for artists. there's gotta be a way to just stealth this shit right?

As a developer that has been fairly public: we're not equipped to deal with the deluge of abuse and hate that comes our way - and I'm an indie, I'm literally responsible for my own choices. Can't imagine having to stand in that torrent for choices the stakeholders forced despite my objections.

Stick It to the Stickman on Steam Stick it to the Stickman is a physics-based brawler where you fight heaps of red stickmen to become the boss. Choose from hundreds of unique moves to construct the perfect combat machine and fight you...

Years-delayed, Stick It To The Stickman came out yesterday. From the developers of Broforce, Gorn, Anger Foot, etc - it's a silly physics brawler/RPG. Also it's only like $5 and with glowing user reviews so far.

Still in early access, and the price is going to go up as they add more stuff to it.
