    Um, sometimes I'm a lazy dev... Just ask my now 5 year old project that's still in prototype stage, it knows what I'm talking about.

    Let's talk a minute about "lazy devs." They don't exist. Every. Single. Game dev I've ever worked with is passionate about what they do and strives to produce the best thing possible within the time and resource constraints they've been given. Every. Single. One.

    Looking at this in the context of twitter... if you like it you'd like the game (prototype that it is) and if you wtf it you'd never like the game. So not great for sales but great for managing expectations!

    I really really really hope Microsoft does buy Discord. Because any other corp buying it would be worse. Apple would wall it off, Oracle would destroy it, Google would promise a lot and then close it in two years, Facebook would just internalize the tech and close it...

    Kind of you to go to the screenshots.... I usually figure that if they can't make a snappy trailer they don't have a fun game. I'd rather have no trailer and good screenshots than a slow trailer. I'd also rather have a snappy trailer poorly done than an epic slow one.

    I wish I could convey to steam devs that if your trailer that autoplays on the store page takes up more than the first 3 seconds with slow fade-ins, logos, anything like that, I've already clicked away to your screenshots

    Pair programming works so well because you have two brains and one can fully load Programming Mode and have another person who knows what's going on in Human Mode that they can refer human questions to without exiting Programming Mode and dumping cache.

    The sad tale of Dave Trampier, illustrator of the cover of the original AD&D Player's Handbook, artist of Wormy from Dragon Magazine.

    Trampier was the illustrator behind many of the illustrations in the AD&D books, including the cover of the Player's Handbook, and for many other TSR games (including Gamma World). he also drew a comic, Wormy, for Dragon Magazine.

    non fungible tokens (NFTs) have no inherent value and not even technologically innovative — they require the pre-existing system of violence and control to enforce a belief in the value of what is ultimately a glorified checksum

    Sometimes I'm really glad I made demos of the things I was learning years ago, because it's fun to go back and play with them!
