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.

@PurpCat @Kerosene @coolboymew I think the Pandora has a decently sized screen too, and it was around the size of a DS.

@Kerosene It's probably running on some PC hardware and is only running these games via some PICO-like fantasy console.

@coolboymew @Kerosene Someone needs to copy my idea (anyone is free to do so by the way). They would make millions.

Not to sound alarmist, but consider a future where you *must* use ChatGPT because typing something yourself is "illegal" thanks to Age Verification nonsense.
It's clear the Corpos are literally trying to remove the ability for anyone to write a shitpost without their AI slop. The time to fight that is now.
