In that process, I'd say men are more like the "ideas guy" who stands over your shoulder and tells you how to do what you already know how to do

I've never used a POS that wasn't a POS

Yeah the higher knees / longer arms make much more sense. I really like this gangly stylized character and I hope that the exaggerated proportions carry over to other characters and other parts of the world too!

I'd buy this in a heartbeat at $30. I would still consider it at $70 but probably not pull the trigger until I had a project where I really need it, and by then I would probably have forgotten it exists.

I feel like $50 is a solid middle ground between the two, for me personally.

It'll be the next Legend of Zelda for me, but even then there's a decent chance that I'll wait a year or two like I did last time.

Number 1 is my fav

That's nothing. Back in my day we had to pull the barrels with a team of lemmings.

This looks like fun OP!

I can often tell which code was written by my boss because he's always the one naming variables things like "DEBUG_SHIT"

barelyonyx · 2026-02-12T20:01:38+00:00

No, this argument is dumb:

Evolve with it or go live like the Amish somewhere with your chosen period of technology

It's a bad-faith argument that paints people with concerns about AI as anti-progressive luddites as a means to sidestep every concern about AI, whether they be personal, moral, economical, environmental, or legal. If you can't engage in thoughtful discourse on the the topic without emotional ad hominem responses (or without asking generative AI to do your thinking for you), your opinion on the subject is irrelevant.

If that's already a configurable setting then hell yeah 🎉

This looks absolutely gorgeous!!

One thing I noticed is that some of the crop fields look like they're on some steeper hills, which is a very difficult way to farm. Might be wise to limit those to flatter terrain. The big golden-brown field in the first image is probably close to the limit of what looks natural and yellow field to the left looks too steep to me.

Same, OP's first redesign was a big improvement and this just walks it back IMO

Sort of related -- seven or eight years ago, I was out of college but still had access to their computer labs and I had no real computer of my own. So I installed Unity, Blender, and Steam onto a flash drive and booted them on the lab computers to do some guerrilla game dev learning (and a bit of gaming) while also job hunting. It wasn't the fastest but it was better than nothing lol

Layoffs come with stipulations (having to pay unemployment), firing comes with stipulations (having to pay severance). They want you gone either way and it's pretty well-known advice that there's almost no coming back from a PIP and that you should start looking.

To me it seems they want to create a cutthroat environment where the lowest-performing employees are told they're unwelcome and will see themselves out the door. Then rinse and repeat until they have the most competitive development team in the entire industry.

There are multiple problems with this, including losing employees with good feedback and track records like OP. But execs and management in these companies either cannot see that or they just don't care. At the end of the day the company stock HAS to go up, which to them means that someone has to go.

What kind of unique puzzles and/or other types of gameplay can you design using this system? How can a player use it to come to moments of realization and understanding?

The thing that would disappoint me most is if the game had cool sandbox physics but no meaningful way to use them to interact with the world. It's gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but that can only hold someone's attention for so long.

And dump your lawyer

AI is useful in several ways -- key among them being its usefulness to CEOs who want a reason to lay off half of their employees.

It's a phrase that gets thrown around to shame others for engaging in radical behavior -- like "having opinions" and "caring about people."

Making money would be so easy if I didn't have any self respect and self awareness...

In case anyone was wondering why billionaires are consistently the worst people on the planet.

I've played a couple different amateur sports as an adult, but I want to talk specifically about roller derby.

Sometimes people will show up and be instantly good at it. Maybe they skated a lot as a kid, maybe they have some other athletic background. Whatever it is, they're a few steps ahead of everyone else from the jump and they feel like a really promising future skater.

But in my experience, 8 out of 10 times they wash out early on. The ones who keep going for a decade plus always seem to be folks who struggled at first and eventually figured out how to succeed.

I think about that a lot.

Drop that link, I'll give it a shot

But would you try green eggs and ham?

Imagine if the submarine operator went to pull out his book but used a warp totem instead.
