@butterdog Game Design is a special major for a special group of people. As you'd expect it's picked by people who see it and think "ooh fun bideo game," it's difficult compared to other "useless" majors, and the payoff at the end is being stuck in the world's worst STEM-adjacent industry. Every game design major in the club is either a stoner or a BreadTube watcher.
Also, the people actually interested in gamedev are all either CompSci or Engineering majors
@Dan_Ramos furry is overwhelmingly becoming a degenerate sex thing. I know furries that are not but it's getting taken over by these loud weirdos

@Dan_Ramos Bluesky is like a social experiment at this point. The petri dish of stupidity

i'll send this dude $20 to play rance iv for the NEC PC-9801 and see what he really thinks about being "weird"

@xianc78 I like the simplicity of it (only making a 2D game) and the smaller community, plus it was the earliest option I was aware of. I'll try SDL in the future maybe.

Did you know that you could order papercraft versions of the models you make in Mario Artist Polygon Studio?

By swapping to the Communication Kit disk, you could upload the model to RandNet and get the model as a printed sheet to assemble yourself!

Fixed some rendering bugs, worked around an Allegro bug with video playback. We're cooking soon. Gonna take a break to finish Firestar 1.3 before I continue on the game and then I'm ready to start programming the 2D scene graph.

The Twitch Adpocalypse is here, with streamers reporting their income has suddenly declined by as much as 95% as the house of cards burns down, falls over, and sinks into the swamp.

I don't have a link to a good story covering this yet, because the written articles are useless and the video coverage is obnoxious. Twitch was offering absurdly favourable pay scales to its preferred coterie of lunatics and ethots, and the advertisers got fed up with the crap their ads were shown against and left.

Jeff Bezos has a bad habit of buying companies and leaving them to be destroyed by lunatics.
