God's Disdain Version 1.0.12 Patch Notes
-Added mouse functionality to the difficulty option.
-Changed default options as a failsafe in case the included configuration file is unavailable.
-Locked input after selecting New Game on the title screen.
-Removed the free map item given to the player at the start of the game.
-Fixed dialogue positioning in Kowan Town and the overworld when clicking on boats you don't own.
-Fixed an issue with the Supply and Demand quest where interacting with Slim would cause the player to become permanently invisible.
If you have saved your game while in this invisible state, please navigate to the pool of water beneath Pacho Town. It is right next to the road you took to find Slim. If you click on it, your character will become visible again. It will be easier if you use your mouse to do so. Apologies for the large inconvenience.
So I watched Synthetic Man's review of Kirby Air Riders and he makes a point about multiplayer games that don't get updated in that they get boring once someone knows the ins and outs of the game.
He points out how he was able to memorize all the spawn points in City Trial and how his brother won't play with him anymore because of it. I had the exact same experience when I played 007 Nightfire with my brother, many years ago. We memorized all the grappling hook locations on all the maps and there was no limit on the distance you can grapple to. So we were just zip-lining across the map and we couldn't kill each other because we were quick to hookshot to the other side. That's why it's hard for me to get into multiplayer games, it's quick enough for me to find every exploit.
I think this gets into the "victim as virtue" idea. I remember Helen Dale (Australian lawyer/author) talking about how Roman society didn't have a concept for virtue in victimization. Works like the Book of Job didn't really resonate in Roman society. Dales makes the argument Romans didn't believe in refinement through trial, although I question that stance since they did have The Odyssey and other popular works/theater that fit the standard heroes journey.
If Christianity was the moving force that pushed the idea of virtuous persecutions (e.g. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."), it would make sense that people would eventually seek out persecution as a means of increasing their virtue.
Shooting has now been implemented.

#AskFedi, Is there a way I can send messages through #DeltaChat from a script, so that I could use it for sending myself notifications (e.g., reminders) from a separate Delta account?
/cc #CLI, #commandline, #scripting, @delta
You've probably noticed in the previous video that the player would make a "bump" before landing on the platform. I fixed it.

"But it's not capitalism it's...." Nobody cares, it's indefensible.
This isn't a new pattern limited to the AI bubble, it's the same scam just becoming more blatant as power consolidates.
Just started programming on my next game dev project. Right now, I only have movement and the gravity flipping mechanic implemented, but more is to come!
