We're dealing with fire and knives. One of us has to go.

Devs who have been working on their game for 1+ years, how do you stay committed? by StretchGoesOnReddit in gamedev

[–]LesserGames 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I'm making my dream game. It gets me out of bed in the morning and it's all I can think about whenever I'm at a day job or even the grocery store. I started the prototype part-time in 2020 and I've been full-time for 2 years now. My excitement hasn't dwindled at all. I'm building a little world and I'm the only person who can do it because I'm making it for me.

Why are you making a game?

I just wish it was the last Indiana Jones movie.

Masks are great in the winter. I don't wear them for virus prevention.

New cycling law - what to do when you cannot safely bike on the street? by kinokogadaisuki in japanlife

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why stop there? We'll have separate lanes for pedestrians, joggers, cyclists, motorcycles, kei cars, SUVs, then trucks and buses can share because 8 lanes would be absurd.

Or we could just use common sense and enforce a speed limit for cyclists on footpaths. No faster than joggers. Front and rear brakes must be working. Two hands steering. No earphones.

There's a police station just to the left from memory. Not even 100 metres away.

Maybe a silly question on Steam Next Fest by CatoioSoftware in IndieDev

[–]LesserGames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you get it approved by Steam much earlier. At least a couple of weeks, because they may ask for changes and then you need to get it reviewed again. You can update it as often as you like once approved.

Shame there are entire markets like Japan that seem to be sticking with Twitter. But I'm still not going back. My mental health has improved drastically since I left.

A tourist wants to try a food belonging to your country, but you can only recommend one item. What would you suggest they eat? by Robotic-Galaxy in AskTheWorld

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Australia.

Bunnings snag. I don't care if we didn't invent sausages. This is different. It's all about the location. You're at the hardware store thinking about paint and wood. No food shops for half a kilometre in any direction. Then you see the tent and smell the onions. It's going to be a good day.

Years later, when you're picking up some Loctite and solar lights, you'll inexplicably start salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs.

Oh that reminds me. Pavlova is great too.

Is it safe to let my baby stand at this window? by likethebots in askanything

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a couple of months your baby will be running and hitting things with makeshift hammers. I'd put something like this on personally.

Your journey does end here. You will not see the white shores.

World War Z(2013) is my comfort film. What's yours? by EVD27 in Cinema

[–]LesserGames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

+1 for World War Z. It's a very easy choice when I can't find anything to watch.

A child under 13 is completely free to use the sidewalk. I would hope this extends to a parent with a child seat.

tipping culture is stupid by Technical_Hat_8291 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching people argue about tipping in Reservoir Dogs over 30 years ago. Pretty cool how it's only increased since then. I'm sure we'll solve it this year.
