Brainstorming a game with @iska and @PurpCat. Current notes are:

A first person rail shooter where you avoid spheres or other objects coming your way
Background is a psychelidic tube style like that seen in Castlevania IV tunnel level with wavy lines like
Implement Ray Marching | add volumetric effects | add procedural lighting and colour cycling | add domain warping | add smooth shape blending
90s Big Beat for music
Futurist, Abstract, and Psychedelic aesthetics. Abstract, NOT minimalist.
You move forward automatically
add a time limit. You can speed up or down the abstract environment, but if you speed up, the objects come at you faster.

US, Israel, Iran, BRICS, isolationism 

@beardalaxy What really angers me about it is the whole binary-thinking regarding the situation.

If I don't support US/Israel/NATO then I must be pro-Iran or BRICS and vise versa. Hell, I even see many libertarians who are supposed to be isolationists when it comes to situations like this share this mentality.

I really wish we can go back to having free-trade with all while entangling alliances with none. I'm tired of the mentality of picking sides, especially when you realize that there are groups who benefit from both sides of every conflict.

@Forestofenchantment If you've read "Albert Pike and the Three World Wars", you would know that this was all planned.

I'm starting to get sick of the US/Iran shitshow and from both sides.

It turns out that Brazil and the state of New York are passing even worse OS-level age verification laws as they require actual ID verification (the California law only requires a DoB input). The worst part is that the Brazilian law will be in effect in less than 13 days.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat I think it could eventually lead to ID scanning, but enforcing that would be difficult unless OSes move more into the cloud.

@beardalaxy @bonkmaykr My favorite story is from the lead designer of Kid Icarus. He literally said "if there are no bugs in it, it's finished".

@bonkmaykr I don't think there is a single gamedev out there that releases something that they are 100% satisfied with. Even Shigeru Miyamoto thinks that Super Mario World, his favorite Mario game he's worked on, was incomplete.

I won't call something released if it isn't in a state I'm proud of. Period. Would eat me alive. Deadlines have always been a crude suggestion

I am rotting. No i didn't forget to release the mythos sources it's just becoming a PITA to finish even minor touchups because I'm worried about money. Trying to get a sidejob but every employer just wants webshit or AI slop.

In other news, I just realized my only PC floppy drive is destroying disks. Fun! It's not like I bought it solely to make backups or anything.

@PurpCat @xianc78 @Kerosene @coolboymew the deck is a “lounge held” like the switch not a true handheld. It fits a different niche. I got an ayn Thor to be an actual handheld. What I like about the deck is I can take it to a friends house and we can play pc games on the couch with all my saves transferred.
