Are you making a low resolution game, but using some modern shaders to apply fancy effects that would have taken superhuman brainpower to do if we were actually writing for the old consoles?

Do your shader effects look... out of place? Like, they're happening at a higher resolution?

Do you want an easy way to "snap" your shader's pixels to your game art's pixels? This is the thread for you?

I sure have web dev opinions for someone that doesn't do web dev

The thing I want most from the Minecraft mob vote videos are ships lol

I drew a Gelatinous Cube from Dungeons and Dragons for today's Kaijoktoberfest #Inktober drawing. Sometimes you need to think outside of the cube for what qualifies as a kaiju

AI nonsense, bluesky screenshot, mild lewd, cartoon guns, uhh 

Facebook Messenger has added ai-generated stickers and it's going exactly how you'd expect

This year turns out to be 25 years of hobby+professional game dev for me. Oh god

While I panic, here's some *very* old stuff I doubt most of you have seen:

it's cooled down just enough to not need the A/C unit on all day, as long as i have a fan pointing at me at all times

For me, there's a few topics I say will never be in my games. I may even have a hard time imagining how a game with those topics would be fun, but we explicitly marking those topics as "off limits" so they're not even joked about.

As a game facilitator, you might think "oh, I don't really need to spend so much time on these tools because I'm a good person. I'm not going to include anything awful."

But here's the thing: you can't know what your players might struggle with.

I've played games with someone who said "you can include spiders, but don't ever describe them being near or on my face."

I couldn't have guessed that.

Or "please don't include death by [cause of death] because I lost someone to that."

Or "no romance for me, please, I'm just coming off a rough relationship."

People will have sensitivities you've never thought of and, as the person running the game, it's your responsibility to give them space to share that vulnerability, & respect that trust.
