I don't understand why artists do this. They don't even get paid that much with streaming.

A simple chatroom made in Godot, running locally between two instances.

It's not much, but it's a good start! I know how to send and receive data now.

Making an actual game is gonna be the real challenge, what with latency, prediction, and dealing with cheaters. But I think I can do it!

It's so ironic, isn't it? You have to pay to get views on a platform that everybody with a modicum of good taste is leaving.

Hopefully those companies go bankrupt Icarus-style.

No respect for Georgie smh 😔

a video game screen shows a man in a boat fishing Alt: Zelda Link's Awakening fishing minigame

Nobody forced me to go fishing so I guess that helps lol. Plus, you don't have to do all of the gross, boring, and tedious parts. Only the fun bits! But that's me 😛

Thanks! I can't believe half of my life is gone already 😭

Razer Kishi usb-c controller for mobile phones. There's other brands too if you don't like Razer, which would be understandable.

Get yourself one of these bad boys and you're in business.

Oh phew, he's back.

Oh god, this won't help bsky's reputation.

What am I doing on my 40th birthday, you may ask? Learning TCP/IP and UDP, and how to make multiplayer games. I figured it was about time I bit the bullet. 🕹️🛜

Surprise! I needed a more "professional" logo/pfp for my brand, so I made this. 😛

Technically they abbreviate it but:

If This Is It, If This Is All There Is, I Hope You Live, I Hope You Live.

Apparently they decided to keep it around after all, it just won't get new features. Which is a double win actually, if you ask me.

We still need a proper alternative for Flash tho. Hell, even the Macromedia versions are better than anything else! I still keep 8 on a backup drive.

Well, that's good then. They should still open-source it (yes I know they never will but a man can dream.)

This sucks so much. The Unity debacle was the final nail in that coffin for me. If they can take your tools at any time for any reason, they own you, not the other way around.

We REALLY need an open-source Flash. One that's just as intuitive and fun to use.

I was born right between the events of the Challenger space shuttle explosion and the Chernobyl meltdown, and I gotta say, it was a great analogy for how my life would be like.

On the plus side, in exactly 4.5 hours, I'll be able to say the following sentence seriously. Happy birthday to me! 🫩🎉

The gift of prophecy.

Well, if that's what they consider "achieved", I guess we have nothing to worry about lol

Aaaah okay, it looked like something else but now I see it. Thanks!

Nice!

By the way, what software are you using? 👀

Words cannot express how much I despise Adobe as a corporation. Flash was perfect, and they massacred it.

I hope they go bankrupt and die.

They should be legally forced to open source it. There's no excuse.

Welp. That's why I don't bother with remakes usually. Especially if it's a game I played as a kid. It's just not the same game anymore.

Not only that, but what good is it to be mad all the time? Then you'll only have been mad. Congratulations, you completely wasted your energy.

Notice how those people never go out to protest or anything? Too busy picking arguments with bots online. It's so stupid.

"How dare you have fun when-"

That's the point. They WANT you to be miserable. Then you'll be too depressed to fight back. Just like you need food to survive, you need joy to stay strong.

Dance, sing, draw, play! Show them you won't let them take your will to live!!

And your quote-repost is how *I* found out. Wow.

Sometimes social media is cool.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Captain Haddock laments "what a year, huh?" and the lead vocalist of the barenaked ladies responds "Captain, yyyyyIT'S BEEN-" Snowy, a small white dog, indulges in a shake labeled "stinkin achin' shake" which, from context, you can assume is vanilla flavour.

Captain -

So basically "my way or the highway" lol
