@neon_course @sjw it's a good example as to why "free speech" branding is doomed from the start and more people need to catch up to that fact.

By all means, that can be a guiding principle, but when you explicitly market based on that, you end up with an aimless void of everyone who didn't fit in anywhere else. Some of those people are banned from everything for a good reason, and then you have to justify kicking them off under increased scrutiny.

Communities need purpose and focus. Just make it clear that your moderation is lax unlike mainstream sites where mild deviation will get 10 year accounts banned.

@rasterman @chuculate @mozilla It should have been obvious since the very beginning. They have been using Google as their default search engine for as long as I can remember.

@Indigo @ItsSkyDragonz I just recently played the original GBA game (using a semi-complete fan translation). It's pretty fun, but I can see why Nintendo seems to neglect this franchise because other than being a swimming-focused platformer with Metroidvania elements, it doesn't really bring anything unique to the table.

The libs are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to defend this criminal. It’s shit like this that leads to everyone thinking shit is partisan and irreparably broken…

@judgedread I love how the CSS for his avatar and name, is also broken in the screenshot.

Found it! How Rob Colbert :robcolbert: completely fucked Gab when he created the total failure that was Dissenter. It's a beautiful thing.

Twitter 2007-2015 was never going to last. Once celebrities realized Twitter needed them more than they needed it they began demanding a safe space.

That was the real story behind Milo Yiannopolis' ban. The C-list celebrity vs. the ecelebrity.

Twitter sided with the ugly one with network TV and movie access.

@LukeAlmighty Stick with restaurants that let you order by phone.

@beardalaxy @matana I sometimes watch GMT and Snowman Gaming. I like GMT's Boss Keys series where he analyzes the dungeon design in the Zelda games.

When it comes to GDC (and pretty much most of these game design videos really) it's hard to sift through all the SJW propaganda. It's the exact same reason I stopped watching Extra Credits.

Just fucking say "grandmother" for fucks sake.

@beardalaxy @matana Also, I think you have it much easier than I do because you are using a full-fledged engine while I'm using basic frameworks. I think it probably would be much easier if I use something like Unity, Unreal, or Godot but I kind of like programming some things from scratch.

@beardalaxy @matana Right now, I'm just working on a generic verticle shmup. I switched from Python (using the Pygame library) to C# (using the MonoGame framework) during late high school (2017) but hadn't work that much on gamedev since then due to college and having a part-time job.

I actually attempted to work on my dream game back in high school when I was still using Python, but I was unprepared for that and Python is way to slow to create a full-fledge game like the one I was creating. I realized that I was better off learning a new language from scratch and learn more programming concepts.

You mentioned playing video games when getting home from work. I have that habit, but I feel like that I haven't played enough games to fully understand the inner workings of the medium.

I'm trying my best to stay focused now. I realized that I wasted my time obsessing over all the idpol among other things for the past few years when all that energy could've been spent on more productive things.

@RoyalJohnny242 @cum @Chizu @ChristiJunior @Haku @Zest @lelouchebag @mactonite @miria The pedos are riled up today because Drake Bell got exposed as one of them and is going to prison. Who knew a child actor on a Dan Schneider show would grow up to be messed up?

@ChristiJunior @mercurycities @noyoushutthefuckupdad There's a lot of aspects of Western culture that are better than Japanese culture, there's some where Japan's better. In terms of media in the modern age Japan's generally way better though.

@matana @beardalaxy My problem more has to do with time. I made completed games before, but they're shitty clones of Atari games written in Python. I use C# now, but I'm also now a full time college student with a part-time job and my time is pretty limited. Even back in high school, I was limited due to extra-circular activities.

Right now, I'm trying to get something done this summer.
