I'm FloppyFins! I mostly make weird newgrounds cartoons and half-life 2 mods, but I'm always exploring other creative hobbies as well.
Of all of my strange creations, I think this one is my personal favorite!

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

If you work a studio that’s been nominated for a Game Award this year (or even years’ past), I would love to speak to you about your experience getting tickets! How many did your studio get? How many did you buy?

Tim is not a creator or artist he is a capitalist with the goal of being the only one in power. That involves pushing as many people out of the way and that involves other devs removed and replaced by tools he also controls and profits from.
A reminder that Tim Sweeney is trash, Unreal Engine is trash, and the Epic Game Store is trash. Fortnite, by extension, is also trash.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit
what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those
making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too
oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?
seems important

My Bambu Labs A1 is so cool! It will use up all of the filament I have and then just kill itself and the print. I've had multiple projects stalled for weeks because this printer will just freeze up while printing, and the only way to fix it is to cut the power and hope it works next time.
