I like to believe the podcast gods curse those who forget the audio only listener’s.
I just think it’s so much cooler and more interesting to try to be the best audio show rather than the shittiest television show
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

It's probably the worst time to make a new game studio in the old way. But, probably the easiest time to just pickup a game engine and go. But, it's also the worst time to try and get anything you make seen.

After hearing so many cool tunes and loops by @barinky.net I decided to start adding music to my #picoCAD artworks. This one is heavily influenced by @trndytrndy.com's Virtua album.

Taking a hardline stance against a computer making some creative decisions but allowing it to do the parts you're unskilled at is exactly how the whole space gets taken over

If people don’t laugh it’s not a “joke”
You can still be funny AF and not hurt people in the process.

Got what appeared to be a legit Apple survey asking me about how often I use any of the recent additions to iOS. Most of the questions were around the Apple Intelligence bullshit like the bad notification and email summaries and generating emoji and all that stupid shit.

it feels like i always see chronically-online AAA developers talking about how we need to drastically rebuild the industry from the ground up but when you dig a little deeper they just want to recreate the same systems we have now but with the "right" people at the top making decisions.

A weird thing happened where people on the internet said words and then other people on the internet adjusted their thoughts and actions based on these words - “filler” being one of the worst ones
Listen, I will engage any conversation on DBZ "filler" episodes, but let me say, I don't think that's a great way to look at it. The show can't be full throttle on advancing the plot all the time. All the weird little guys they meet and silly little adventures, that's the heart of the show!

There should be a mod that gives Wind Waker the DS graphics of Phantom Hourglass
I've had so many Phantom Hourglass dreams except you can look up with the camera and it plays like Waker. I need this in my veins
