My boxing gym is a very working class, male, Essex-y space and most people are super nice but today a guy said "You punch like a girl" to his sparring partner followed by, "Pardon the pun."
Sometimes snobbery is OK, actually.

Ah! Itsuki san as usual is wonderfully supportive and helps me be better: the itch page mistakenly said “available for PC and Mac.” This is not yet true! As of now, there is NO Mac version on itch but we plan to change that very soon!!
What can I say, real indies make mistakes pls forgive 🙈🙈💜💜💜

Listened to a podcast that disparagingly reviewed TR49 as a short story which I thought was a bit odd because, short stories are in fact great, and it absolutely is one.

The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality:

On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing.

On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9

I'm revisiting some really old IWGNT code (like from the version we did for uni) to implement a new feature and it's SO BAD 🙈 It would almost be inspiring how much better I've gotten at #programming, only now I have to wade through this spaghetti cesspit 😭 #gamedev
