i cannot get over this

devs putting 'YOU DIDN'T PAY FOR THIS PART YET, DEADBEAT' in place of a chapter is so awesome. But Like!! presuming you *were* that deadbeat, why would you then publish that document for the playtest?? lmao it means they didn't read the document before sending it out!!
"this work has not been paid for by John Taylor of Geekify" being all you see in your playtest packet for an entire section of character options is, i think, the truly transcendent detail here.

Kiss your homies with consent guys.

(I've been stuck in the comic dungeon for so long, my brain doesn't believe it can draw comics anymore so I'm rehabing it by doing these)

(Sorry, these are very out of context. Just assume they were having a heart to heart in the pages before)

Made this neon goth Valentine's set on Saturday and I couldn't wait to get them on. I think I need to do an entire set with iridescent flakes like the pinky nail. First time wearing rhinestones and I can't stop fidgeting with them. We'll see how long they last before I accidentally pick them off. 😅💚

Not just the words. The art. Look at the art. The art is informing you of what is happening. You don't get to say things came out of nowhere when there are objects in the background foreshadowing things for 5 chapters.
Webtoon readers, hear me when I say this and know it comes from a place of love and concern:

sometimes you must slow down and actually read the words written in the speech bubbles. You are going too fast. You are not comprehending the words in the order they are written. You are guessing.

Heads up if you subscribe to Wired, I just went through a whole rigmarole where they auto renewed my subscription for $80 when my receipt and their website says an annual subscription costs $30, and then gave me the runaround to convince me that the subscription is actually $80.

Thank you all for the kind responses yesterday! 🥰 I had therapy but then we went out for dinner and afterwards watched some Fantasy High (we're like halfway through season 3) and listened to the new episode of Push the Roll. It was a nice day!
Happy February 4th, today is my 15th anniversary with @ketpia.bsky.social ! 🤠🎨🤡🎉

Always read contracts you're sent to sign, even if you're told it's "boilerplate".

Understand what you're agreeing to and don't be afraid to ask questions or request adjustments.

When you're starting out you may not have much room to negotiate, but at least you can go into it with your eyes open.

LMAO AI ain’t shit because if I, a person with no game dev experience, made a working game that works across all devices you don’t need a little program to hallucinate the idea of a game for you.

TRULY a skill issue if you rely on AI at this point

I used slablets for uhhhhhhh I'm gonna say a LONG WHILE, but I haven't moved back since making the jump to screen tablets, since that's what I originally envisioned when I first understood what tablets were, and I like having a monitor I can draw on
artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?

I'm thinking of looking at the scholastic book club model - a catalogue you pick titles from.

Something that changes per quarter or season.
I'm looking at making an indie distribution company for indie books and idk if a model for that exists already, but if anyone has information on how indie book stores order (before I contact a bunch) that would be cool.

I'm specifically looking at Naarm/Melbourne but all info is good info
