Just a hot tip but if you see anyone in games talking about unpaid internships it's worth noting that in most countries, having an intern do the work a full employee would usually do for no pay is in fact extremely illegal

thought this was serious for a second. amazing satire on the types of people who "offer" unpaid internships. never let anyone do you like this

Code switching my brain from Programmer to Artist is taking a lot out of me. Dreading the switch from Artist to Biz after. #solodevthings

I lived through publishers telling me constantly that NFTs and Crypto games were the future and I needed to get on the train and design them or I'd be left behind.

I said NO.

I'll outlast "AI generated games" too. That's an oath.

Naseer is 100% right

Meme image of Sonic saying "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding". The text has been blanked out so it reads "I want games with gay people who are woke and I'm not kidding".

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

omg omg omg

correct! every post about fixing a broken games industry that involves [specific games industry tweaks] and not [destroying a speculation-mad executive class and using their bones for compost] is just wasting everyone's time

the "Isla de Muerta" pattern of UI design: functionality that cannot be found save by those who already know where it is

this is a great read on why doing development and talking about development are fundamentally different things

Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue ‘If the maintainers of small projects give up, who will produce the next Linux?’

Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

Damn son. Looking good!

My desire to be healthy and strong by waking up early to work out and eat right will forever be at odds with my programming powers being fuelled by sugary caffeine drinks and get 200% boost during ungodly hours past midnight

Today, judging the games at the Groningen Global Game Jam location, one of the developers said "Oh, and you can press `F` to call your mom" and so I pressed it but I was a tiny green alien so then mom alien appeared on in-game voice chat and obliterated the enemies around me with an orbital cannon

Update: Dr Disrespect faked being invited to the Highguard press event? For some reason?

Highguard being nowhere as bad as people were making it out to be is why people should probably not be outsourcing their opinions to YouTube creators

Still got a bit more to do, but current work-in-progress!

I’m very curious to see what they do with the new Art of Fighting.

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

108 playable characters eventually, yes?
