Just heard a radio ad from Pfizer talking about how people with pre-existing conditions were the people at high risk of having issues due to COVID-19. You know, the shit everybody has been saying this entire fucking time.

This entire war has been a "donate now before time runs out" scam.

Shitter doxxing in a nutshell.

Elon: "you're not allowed to dox people in real time, this is one of the rules of the site."
Urinalists: "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!" *creates account to dox Elon's jet's location in real time*
Elon: "you're banned."
Urinalists: "REEEE!! VIOLATION OF FREEZE PEACH!! I'M ABOVE YOUR STUPID RULES YOU DUMB FUCK!!"
Elon: "everyone is being held to the same standards, I made this very clear."
USSA and Eww governments: "we're cummin' for ya, Elon!"

Welcome. Welcome to City 17.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It's safer here.

That's why games like Cruelty Squad don't get promoted while shitty clique games get promoted. No really. It's most likely because that game was way too outsider for any indie clique to possibly have made.

Cruelty Squad for a long ass time was missing on the official GoDot site despite being the biggest game using the engine, probably because of how "abrasive" it is compared to most "safe" indie games. Once the godot guys realized that it's probably the biggest game hands down using their engine, they finally added it to the site:

It also got snubbed at Steam awards as well, and somehow Cyberpunk 2077 won. No really.

But if you look online, Cruelty Squad was probably the biggest indie game of that time period if not one of them. It even has a mod scene around it now:

The trick is if you want to release an indie game you can't market it through the usual channels. It has to gain traction on imageboards, fedi, etc, the less mainstream places first.

teenagers are not children and i would have told you this both as a child and as a teen

gamedev 

But the one thing that I did like from C# was the built-in getters and setters. I wish both C++ and Java had them. It saves a few keystrokes by not having to use parenthesis.

At least using C++ means that I get to use Vim again.

Well, I think I'm getting a grip on the quirks of C++ and SFML. I think I'm getting a hand of actual pointers and manual memory management.

I don't plan on publishing this btw this is just me getting use to everything which is why I'm using the same sprites from my previous game.

@Giganova8 "steam monopoly" is still the funniest meme.

Origin
Uplay
Heroic
GoG
Microsoft Store
Twitch/Amazon
Discord
Itch.io
BattleNet
Bethesda Launcher
and more

all before EGS tried to "save pc gaming" :zt_laugh: if there ever was a monopoly it was because nobody wanted to use anything else since none of them could even with wish to compare to steam (except maybe GoG) :shrug:

not to mention that steam since at least 2015 is investing in preventing the actual possible monopoly which is Windows/Microsoft Store by pushing linux (obviously out of self interest too).

@ArdainianRight @Senator_Armstrong the outsiders don't realize what the fedi is. It's all the people they pushed out over the years from every community they controlled not only building their own but doing so in a hard to shut down manner.

There are no central mods to complain to period.
