I started solving the debate between me and other peole by stepping behind them and saying โ€œletโ€™s put a stick on the back of your head, which way do I push to look downโ€ they always go โ€œoooohhhhโ€ฆ I still like the other way.โ€œ. Cool. But now you know why we need this.

Stop Begging. Start Building As a reminder, Iโ€™m on the board at Bluesky, which means you should consider me extremely biased, even as this article isnโ€™t really about Bluesky. The writer Jerusalem Demsas wants you to stay on Twโ€ฆ

"This framing recasts leaving a broken platform as performative โ€œvirtue signalingโ€ rather than strategic action. But itโ€™s a false dichotomy. The choice isnโ€™t between purity and pragmatismโ€”itโ€™s about where you can actually have impact." www.techdirt.com/2025/09/15/s... By @mmasnick.bsky.social

Itโ€™s a tough cut to make! But worth it to get the game there. Good luck!

Same, but itโ€™s where people are soโ€ฆ.? Eventually we as people will learn to manage itโ€ฆ I hope.

I havenโ€™t watched them in a long time but โ€œYou call that field of view slider!?!?โ€ echos in my mind.

Iโ€™ll be checking this out for sure. Iโ€™m completely trapped overthinking it right now and need to break out of it.

It amazes me how little conformity there is for settings menus. I'm looking to standardize my games on something and we literally don't have any sort of 'normal' for what should be happening. #indiedev #gamedev

Why can I not set my phone on โ€œwhite listโ€ only instead of blocking accounts? It would help with spam, wrong numbers and stalking.

Iโ€™m just saying if someone made a game for Burn Notice using a Deus Ex like game design it would do very well.

Commodore are back after 47 trademarks bought, maybe now we can have a new 64 like a mini version or a full size one with sd cards and hdmi or some kind of sd device for the old machines and some new games and hopefully this will kick start the demo scene and magazines and shows

Knowing when to pivot. When to back track. When to give up. When to postpone. It's hard. I've just had to do all those things in the last 2 months as the day job has drained my energy from dream job work. That said I'm VERY excited for the game I accidently discovered while making something else.

I'm about to do the unthinkable...re-enter tutorial hell for fun. Work from the day job has burnt me out on things that 'need' to happen, but I'm also only happiest creating. So... I'm going to take a break, prototype and just do tutorials for a month or 2. See you all on the other side! #indiedev

Ever had your day job flip upside down and realized your passion project must wait?
You donโ€™t want to abandon what youโ€™ve built, but sunk-cost fallacy can trap you.
How do you decide to pause and start something new?

If you like Minecraft, this feels like the next step. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s getting enough attention, so Iโ€™m just giving it a little nod for anyone who might be interested.

Entirely possible. I always try to keep an open mind in my work knowing that Populus had a different game in mind, but found that just messing with the terrain was more fun. There wasn't a game like it before. But once you see it...

That's now we get new genres. Keep at it. Can't wait.
