a first person view of an old boxy television, with a controller held close to the viewer. onscreen is a platformer game set in a purple-tinted forest, with an hiker player character approaching a tent with a robed cultist standing nearby. the surrounding area is filled with banners and pikes with skulls on them

you can play the game for FREE below (it runs in your browser, but there's a downloadable version too!)

it's about 5-15 minutes long (depending on how fast you solve it), and theres 30ish minutes of developer commentary talking about how/why i made the game!

an unplayable game?! by ./yemáko/badgames.zip

a game about accessibility settings that's just a *bit* too hard for you to play effectively.

my PC can only run it at a decent framerate on low settings, and it just looks like borderlands 2. that looked fine to me on my Xbox growing up, so I feel like it looks fine now too! at least that's how I'm coping

in my experience, I've never found it to be enough just to be aware of this, because I end up forgetting,, and my self worth starts to tie itself to my work without me knowing

you've gotta keep this in mind often, and remind yourself of it constantly. just enjoy the process of making stuff!!!

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

good luck! optimization is kind of the worst thing I've ever had to do

when I had a similar issue to this it was completely unrelated to optimizing anything in the scene and it nearly broke me, it was an engine and website problem
