‘We’re in trouble’: Electric rates in Texas have surged over 70% as summer kicks in…
Yup, bird choppers and solar cells are cheaper. Buy that lie!

Created a new boss. This one shoots a "super bullet" that explodes into three smaller bullets.

@lanodan Apparently, France is banning gatherings in some places due to the heat.

@PhenomX6 @ryo @luithe Sony has always been somewhat indie friendly even going back to the PS1 with their Net Yeroze consumer devkit and Sony was friendly towards homebrew developers with an official Linux distro for the PS2.

Nintendo, on the other hand seemed out right hostile towards indies up until the later years of the Wii U because they were the only devs keeping the system afloat besides Ubisoft and Nintendo themselves. WiiWare in particular had a 10MB file size limit (mostly due to the limited space on the Wii's NAND) and a huge chunk of the games on there were literally ports of popular flash games. Super Meat Boy was planned to be a WiiWare exclusive but they couldn't get the game under that filesize limit so it got ported to everything else.

ah yes. game jams.
it would be neat to finish one some day :blobcatpain:

@PhenomX6 @ryo @luithe Does Microsoft not care about indies anymore? They were the first to embrace it all the way back in the Xbox 360 era with XBLA and XNA. But they killed the XNA framework nearly a decade ago and turned a blind eye to their indie program on Xbox One like you said.

Now, the Switch seems to be the most indie friendly console. Which is ironic because Nintendo was pretty indie unfriendly during the 7th-gen (WiiWare had a 10MB limit and there was that Bob's Game fiasco).

I'm getting prepared for the upcoming food shortage.

So far I have at least 3 weeks of food (about a month and a half if I ration) ready to go.
High protein and lots of vitamins.

I'm trying to make my recipes tasty, filling, calorie dense, and with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals.

So far I can say the beef stew is delicious and so is the chicken soup.

Curious how the shrimp turned out.

The pickles are some of the best I've ever had.

If I can get more beef tips on sale (got 4 lb $17 off last time) I'll make another big batch of beef stew.

By the way, if you want to play old versions of Minecraft, I recommend Betacraft.

https://betacraft.uk/

It's a mirror of old versions of Minecraft with it's own launcher and stuff. But it fixes many of the issues with the older versions in the original launcher such as lack of audio, black screen, freezes, missing skins, etc. Plus, it includes way more versions (with their respective servers as well).

You'll need an account for it. You'll have to join their Minecraft server (it's just to check you actually own the game) and then register within the next 5 minutes. It's a bit of a hassle but if you really want to play the alpha and veta versions of Minecraft in their full glory, it's worth the trouble.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @ChristiJunior @JapanAnon @Tamamo @TN @Yakotarun I don't care about Sega's origins. The original Phantasy Star series will always be my favorite JRPG franchise. Modern Sega can fuck off though.
