Bad Take Show more

i feel this unfortunate dichotomy between accounts like sehurlburt and moshboy on birdsite. wrt the former, it’s great to promote bootstrapping and encourage gamedevs who are really trying to make it. but the market is so over saturated that the latter’s take seems healthy or even mandatory. more people will be gamedevs over time regardless, and it feels more important to the human experience to encourage self-expression, without the anxiety of having to combine that with running in the rat race

I think I’ll stop searching for the One True Way To Build Anything and just go for A Way That Works For This Specific Target. Having spent much of this break trying to do the former, I guess I’m glad to have touched some new technologies, but for some reason I can’t seem to learn that nobody actually cares about how the pizza is made, just that the pizza is made well enough that it’s at least good. People don’t talk about edible pizzas; they talk about delicious pizzas.

Is this how I should be doing this?

incompetent sun maker! i️ see your fucking eyes. you and your trilby wearing friend can’t hide forever. bootleg sun that doesn’t set, fuckin scorching the earth. you forgot to freeze everyone’s clocks. they got suspicious of the sun not setting after it got to be like 6:15pm. doesn’t even stay in the right place all the time. glitching over between morning and evening. not even hard to tell. doesn’t matter that those twins’ family’s building is miles long
