Why are the hardest video games to get into are also the most addicting?

Neocons are so assmad that America isn't the superpower they believe it is.

@LukeAlmighty Or you can say, "screw both of them" and install a P2P search engine instead.

If anyone is down to help with doing some crude and quick prototype art for either free or a super low cost, or generating some, that would be real nice. Just throwing it out there. Let me know if you want more details for the game.

Then there's the fucking music... I have no drive to work on that whatsoever lately which sucks. I got like 5 tracks into it really quickly and then just died.

I've been itching to start working on my new game within rpg maker again, but I've been putting it off due to not having the assets. I don't want to get stuck in the same situation I was in with God's Disdain where I couldn't pivot away from the default graphics in the end because I incorporated them in the design too much. I might try using AI to drum up some placeholder assets or do some really crude drawings in the meantime.

Nice. Unfortunately, no changes compared to retail! They also found another game that also had a retail ver, but the rom differences are so small it probably won't affect anything

The point of all these age ID laws and similar is to eliminate all competition to the Reddit/Discord conglomerate

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.

“In the case of Colorado’s and California’s bills, effectiveness is lost. In the case of New York’s bill, liberty is lost.”

Carl Richell, System76 Founder and CEO, urges New York to reject S8102A OS-level age verification.

まあ、自分の魂に刻まれてるゲームとなるとファミコンだけで9ついくわね

@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.
