New animations working alright in the editor. It only took me 2 hours each, so I should be done by 2032.
Hoping for this practice to trend.

Feeling down about my game project because it took me a year to release an updated prototype and not much has changed.

I feel stuck in solo game dev purgatory.

Holy shit. I’m now wondering if I like alcohol or have a serious case of catholic brain.
the main reason to buy cheap coffee is it tastes bad but gets the job done. the main reason to buy expensive coffee gear and specialty beans is it tastes bad and it's your fault. once again everything comes back to catholic brain or protestant brain

I'm against pardoning turkeys because it implies that we are eating them as a punishment for their crimes instead of our own

Moore’s Law is dead and any advancement in computer hardware comes at great development cost.

When the PlayStation 6 comes out you’ll be eyeing the GabeCube.
It's so weird seeing people crash out over the potential price of the Steam Machine. To me it was pretty obvious it'd be priced like a PC, not like a Console.
Hell, I'd be shocked if the next generations of consoles won't be priced like a PC.

While I liked this post, I can't say I agree with the conclusion...

Not to say that I don't agree with it, just that I can't say it.
waymo ceo: we plan for fatal crashes and society will learn to accept them

roblox ceo: kids must be preyed upon and victimized as a necessary consequence of scale

Want to know why attempting to take over a capitalist party is a futile endeavor that wastes our time and resources? 86 out of 213 House Dems voted to openly condemn socialism when recent polls have found 74% of Dem voters approve of democratic socialism. The party IS the problem.

The House voted along bipartisan lines to condemn socialism in a resolution highlighting the ideology's historical failures.

When we sweep away the illusions and false solutions, it always comes down to the one choice that humanity faces: socialism or barbarism.

Trying to roll back environmental protections should be seen as inciting violence against the public.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management

which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now
