optician: the results are not good
patient: can I see them?
optician: probably not

@DrSandraDuffy not quite the same (well, not even remotely, i know you're a huge rugby fan) but I still love the cartoon

Big news! 📢 Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 now includes Kenney Character Assets, it's a free update even if you claimed my bundle for free a couple of days ago.

Terraria dev Re-Logic donates $100K to Godot Engine and FNA, plus ongoing funding https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/terraria-developer-re-logic-donates-100k-to-godot-engine-and-fna/

some people have been going around saying the unity news isn't so bad because "it doesn't affect very many people" and

1. there are plenty of reasons to be nervous about a move like this even if it doesn't (currently) affect you

2. the indie studios that aren't getting millions in budget from venture capital but are still doing gamedev full-time professionally are already squeezed enough without unity skimming even more off the top

some of you are acting like grossing 200k in a year for an entire studio is like winning the jackpot, when in reality between platform holders, publishers, and governments taking their cut 200k what's left could well be far below subsistence wages for team members

so yeah, a large percentage of unity users won't be affected, but a large percentage of the indie "middle class", who make a large number of the indie games most people enjoy, *will* be highly affected. and i don't think that's okay. i think that's worthy of some panic

holy shit

a hundred grand 🤯

Happy #bisexual awareness week!

Be careful out there fellow bi critters.

During #bisexual awareness week, bisexuals have disadvantage on all stealth checks.

I'm sure there's a tendency to always view the past as better, but the social-media-ification of the Internet has really sucked a lot of the joy out of entertaining people. When it was peripheral to the broader Internet, you spent most of your time making stuff. Now you gotta learn 8 to 12 platforms that mostly want you to act like an employee of their algorithm.

If you're dumb enough to buy a new engine this weekend, you're a big enough schmuck to come to Unity!

Thanks to the following people for doing most of the work!
