Does it count if making a game in Unreal is about as tortuous as making a game in Boo?

It's deeply, irreconcilably selfish people trying to take whatever they can from the rest of us, however they can, at any expense (the economy's, democracy's, the planet's, and on and on)

actually i-
white text that says "you wouldn't add hitstop to a basketball". The text is a joke about old anti-piracy ads in the U.S. that originally read "you wouldn't steal a car", attempting to conflate grand theft auto with pirating a movie. People have made fun of this ad many times because of how ridiculous the premise that torrenting a movie is similar to that of stealing someone's car.

the fact that parallel and perpendicular both start with P has always meant that I confuse the two, even though ostensibly I know what they both mean

I am feeling *so* good about the state of my side project at the moment

It has, like, basically 0 gameplay but I've done heavy lifting for custom input, menus, save/load, gamepad support, player options, key rebinding, a patch-pipeline

...I think I've been doing "professional" games for too long

toe be clear: this is about writing good tools / documentation and thinking through your decisions. LLMs in their current context aren't going to save anyone - they pump out mid approximations based entirely on stolen labor
