Unity has issued a security advisory for all games built with Unity 2017 or higher.

VRChat is not affected in any practically abusable way per our current analysis. Just to be sure, we're shipping a patch that includes the Unity-provided fix.

My PC is on sleep right now, and I dread all the nasty grime it will collect in its RAM overnight (knowing fully well that's not how suspend works)

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

I don't know what to make of that endorsement, but both the picture of the bug and the egg pattern are very uncomfortable to look at

Rystic, ultimate legend btw edition (7.3 spoilers) @transcatffxiv.bsky.social · Aug 22

to get a little personal, one of the reasons i'm glad i'm no longer in the games industry is that i found it difficult to not take statements like "the dev team doesn't care" or "they clearly actually hate this game" personally

nobody loves this game more than we do. nobody cared more than us.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · Aug 22

I guarantee you devs care

Even if the game ended up a trainwreck because of corporate mismanagement, people working on it cared deeply and tried to make the best possible game given the circumstances

"Back when game devs still cared..."

If I get to be a transport nerd for one train only, it's gotta be the Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toden Arakawa Line). It's so cute! And it makes fun "ding" noises when it accelerates! Oji, the mid station, has a nice park too.

...sorry, you're right, enough grass touched. Back to code I go.

A picture showing 2 red Toden Arakawa Line trains at the Minobashi terminus station. There's a gift shop!

become a game developer to make your family proud? WRONG. celebrating every new accomplishment must first begin with explaining what a video game is

My father-in-law is a builder. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at a Rockwell Automation Retro Encabulator years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build today. I will never forget his answer...
