it's actually not a coincidence - carrying out anyone's will eventually produces giant robot dinosaurs, because giant robot dinosaurs are rad and everybody wants them
defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

I feel like I'm close to reverse engineering something foundational about color theory

feeling a little rough for teaching this morning, thank glob for guest speakers

Thanks everyone who stopped by and raided!

Had some fun explaining my game and my process, I hope it was enjoyable or at least informative to watch! If not, I'm sure Monster Plush of the Week Strabby picked up my slack

If people are interested, I'm down to do more dev streams!

Ok bye!

Pro Tip for Hollow Knight players:

Do NOT return to the grub father after saving all the grubs and getting all the shinies from him. You may think, as I did, that it would be fun to visit all your rescued friends. But NO - nothing good awaits you

wow, this just fixed my tarot bot's weird display issue. had no idea that's what was going on, glad I randomly stumbled on this post!
From the number of accounts I still see uploading images with a broken aspect ratio, I feel like the “width and height are mandatory” API change must be *the* most confusingly communicated change on here. I hope someday this gets sorted through because I think most automated accounts aren’t changing

No stream tonight, going to No Quarter instead. Say hey if you're around!

Planning to do a dev stream of my game jam game tomorrow afternoon to make up for it

this one's a bit of a fan game, but I think it's gonna be pretty fun

there are many things that bother me about gen ai, but today I'm thinking about the lack of quality control

output that would never have been accepted from a human is released, and often glorified

is this the degradation of standards, or the revelation of a lack of care that was always present?

this is devastating

I have been saying I want Muppet Knives Out for years
Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out
Okay, I'm making my case for the only Muppet I want to see on Broadway right now...

Thanks everyone for joining and following!

Windswept is really great but really challenging! I love the level design and the critters and the sounds, I'm just having a hard time teaching my hands what to do. Looking forward to playing more, and Monster Plush of the Week Donkey Kong agrees!

Bye!

Let's make it a Terrific! Tuesday!

Another new indie game I've been excited about released this week - time to check out adorable animal platformer Windswept! Seems like a return to Donkey Kong Country form, but with a duck and turtle! Come by!

Starts at 7pm ET on www.twitch.tv/calamitynolan

I really need critically important things to stop popping up so I can blow off work for game jamming instead of blowing off work to put out fires
