I've been studying game dev as a hobby for years but I struggle with the practical stuff.
Making a plan, sticking to it, staying within a reasonable scope, not working myself till burnout... these are all things I've done with poor results and I'm not sure what I can do to prevent further frustration. Any advice?
Who's your favorite kappa racer in Magma Marathon in #KitsuneTails?
Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.
get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails
we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)
i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? π
Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is.

In short, the US government got access to number from, number to, datetime, length and sometimes location information for every call passing through AT&T's network from 1987 to today.
Then they ran an algorithm to de-anonymize every burner phone based on behavior. They did this because maybe some of those burners were used by drug dealers.
I used "crowdstrike" as a verb at work today, to paraphrase: "CI is broken because github crowdstruck us with a bad rust compiler update". AKA: usable any time an automatic update from a vendor breaks your infrastructure.
All I'm saying is, if they didn't want this neologism, they shouldn't have ruined my flight home from Italy.
in 24 hours we've blown past 250 reviews for kitsune tails, what an amazing result! please do keep 'em coming though, we're aiming for overwhelmingly positive at 500, and then, the world!! >:3

Why?
Because now that Chrome has dethroned Internet Explorer, one dark lord has been replaced by another:

Is Firefox the best Web browser? No, far from it! But it's the *least* bad choice of browser that works with the modern excuses for websites you use.
The other day I was thinking about the efforts to de-genderize the Spanish language (by, for example, adding the -e neutral suffix to words that are separated into masculine -o and feminine -a) and how conservative people protest about the purity of language etc etc etc
And then I thought that the English language already went through this. English had genders at one point, like German and the Romance languages do. And now it doesn't. How did that go. What was that process like.
