So I really do need to be making some "LOOKING FOR WORK" material because I am very much without a job currently, but you'd think me keeping up the pace of doing about 2 drawings a day for 150 days straight as a side project would be a pretty good advertisement.

I was secretly using lerp without knowing the function 😅 it just returns a percentage of the delta. so lerp(a,b,0.5) is just (b-a) * 0.5

The onus is on the party committing genocide to stop committing genocide. The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to sign agreements in the hope of saving themselves from the genocide. This is obvious to anyone who isn't a psychopath.

This looks better every time I see a new screenshot! Have you thought about maybe making the stat images monochrome when they do not affect that stat? Could make it easier to get the info at a glance :)

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Mike made a pretty bold assumption here about my brain not exploding, but I do appreciate being called an indie dev daredevil.
I was on Mike's podcast where I talked about the basics of what indie devs should know about the law. Give it a listen so I can do it again and talk about other topics.
A thumbnail for the podcast with Phoenix Wright pointing to the words trademark, copyright, and patents. Beneath is text.

Hello, friend!!
Okay, I know what you're thinking. "Mike, legal stuff? Really? That's about as exciting as watching paint dry on a rainy Tuesday." But hold up! This week's conversation with Jacob Vela completely changed how I think about the legal side of game development, and I'm genuinely excited to share it with you.
Jacob has somehow managed to become both a lawyer AND release his own indie game (Star Rift Saga) without his brain exploding. He's basically an indie dev version of Dare Devil, and today he is here to make all this IP and contract stuff actually make sense!

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste
