Largest U.S. fresh egg producer detects bird flu in chickens, halts production | PBS NewsHour

for years i've dreamt of having my own tile-based RPG engine that would make lo-fi win95/macOS 9 spiderweb software style games like Realmz or Exile or Avernum
after so much hand-wringing about being unsure about the feasibility of building one from the ground up (the ground in this case being the love2d framework), i started yesterday. a couple hours later i've got the beginnings of a 2d tile editor. scrolling tiles, random terrain generation, drag and drop all work.
this is something that took me months to mould AGS into doing using a bunch of hacks and various script modules. there is no doubt now that i was trying to build a house by swinging a screwdriver at nails.
there's this theme in game development i've heard over and over: "if you want to make a game, never ever build your own engine." i've even given people that advice over the years. and after 12+ years of doing this stuff, i realize that i gave some terrible advice.
DISEASE X INCOMING!!!!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
