@Soma yeah i heard about that lol, wasn't he like a kid too? that's what i heard but idk how much gets lost in the grapevine.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 taraban had a video about that. he was relating getting them super high class boyfriends to trying to work for a company. you have to show up before the company makes it big to get equity; otherwise you're just gonna get salary.

@icedquinn @xianc78 my best friend's wife was a single mom who paid for their apartment mostly by herself while he was going through school. now he's a pharmacist and makes bank so she gets to be a stay at home mom.

relationships can be rocky at times, but trusting in each other and making sacrifices usually turns out pretty well and keeps the relationship strong.

@icedquinn @xianc78 at least the wikipedia entry says that his wife (then girlfriend) worked two jobs while he was working on the game and ushering.

@xianc78 i wouldn't say he leeched off of her. she was incredibly supportive of him and only had to be for a few years. she's not being "leeched off of" much now, is she? stardew valley is incredibly successful and the man put in the hours to make it happen.

@xianc78 @gabriel i imagine it's probably quite hard to switch to even regular mastodon, let alone something like pleroma, and that's why it hasn't been done.

@xianc78 @gabriel mastodon lets you schedule posts, but we don't technically use mastodon, we use a fork of it. one that's quite outdated for the most part, but matrix keeps up with security and that's more or less it.

the original repo for mastodo even says "this is outdated, use pleroma instead" :meru_lul:

watching this video atm. finding out that scott cawthon worked at dollar general up until FNAF is insane. i work at dollar tree, currently building my game. not that it's going to be as big as FNAF, no way. but it's just interesting to see that similarity.

@xianc78 @graf @crunklord420 For their genres, they are more specifically defined, which is good imo. There are only like 15 or so of them, plus "no genre" and "other."

Then they have tags, which can be anything you want although it will pop up with suggestions (probably based on what other people have put in there).

Itch.io actually only has 4 selectable platforms, being Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android. That's for each download. You can also just select no platform for your download at all, in which case you'd probably just want to specify in the file name itself. Or, somewhere in the tags/description if it is integral to your game. So I think an "Other" option would likely be totally fine.

@xianc78 @graf you're the man, i don't know shit about this stuff lol

@xianc78 @graf dope, dope x)

tags would work for it yeah, just as long as the stuff like loli or whatever is opt-in instead of opt-out. Whitelist instead of blacklist, kind of thing :)

@girls those antis have no idea what they're missing, shitting feels great
