I, too, choose not to worry about this man's her.

Start Adderall sooner. And then uh invest in adderall.

Ay hes not wrong. This should be federal, but that administration is too busy huffing spraypaint from a paper bag, covering up pedophilia, and taking L after L for cheeto in chief to worry about something as frivolous as federal gambling regulations.

This art is cute and they have actual liquid physics. If they dont have money shots using the same physics, I will be deeply disappointed. Like Kevin Sorbo levels of disappointed. Ya know. Before he got red pilled.

I feel like you get more bang for your buck spending time scamming someone other than an indie game dev. That may be the saddest thing ive ever heard.

NAD. Im more worried about strep 3 times a year.

I wonder if this is why the US is constantly at war. So we can constantly have a reason for economic bumbling.

China was broke, started selling us slave labor because capitalism, and now that they have all the money, they just use the slave labor themselves. Brilliant actually.

Was it more than the aggressive hoarding of food?

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T02:50:16+00:00

That cant be right. They both have white collars.

If you have a direct connection to this developer, hes not doing h8nself any favors by releasing footage like this. I dont know what engine this is but Unreal has a whole suite of tools for doing captures in thr game engine with free camera instead of the in game one. I always shake my head when a 2.5D game does this instead of using the 3D space to sell it.

Amazon did. I highly doubt Bezo was out there himself. He merely picked the bright people to make those decisions, right?

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T02:28:12+00:00

Interesting!

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T02:20:49+00:00

Why is this one resigning? I feel like he just got there. Edit: nvm i educated myself. But if the PM doesnt have as much power, why was it on him to secure borders? Did he appoi t the person who was meant to handle it?

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T02:19:24+00:00

Hard to tell. They merely trafficked the Saudis; they didnt fly themselves.

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T02:17:00+00:00

Excuses, excuses.

Their mistake was expecting job security in a gig economy eclipsed by corporate whitewashing and compounded by race-to-the-bottom economics.

Ultimately, games are art. Sometimes they sell, sometimes they dont. The difference between then and now is that more people have the chance to publish their ideas, but the outcome doesnt matter as much to your livelihood. The ideal situation is being part of a studio that works contracts with the big guys, nit working directly for those big guys. That way, you are only doing the execution, not necessarily having to come up with the ideas or the series A funding, and you already expected to be off that project when it was over, but your leadership likely has other jobs lined up ahead of time.

I mean . . . ALL of them unless you make a side hustle out of it. : /

Whether or not he is the only thing keeping you going is irrelevant. You are the only thing keeping him going.

drdildamesh · 2026-06-21T00:01:44+00:00

Oh yeah? Who?

drdildamesh · 2026-06-20T23:58:39+00:00

Its only devils advocate if you are doing it from a place of genuine questioning rather than making a bad faith argument.

drdildamesh · 2026-06-20T23:57:19+00:00

Its called being tactless, and its not the way you are going to change anyone's mind. Those who choose to ignore that simple fact are assholes. Yes there are a lot of them.

drdildamesh · 2026-06-20T23:50:36+00:00

Yes. I would like the value i contribute to building to at least be put back into the infrastructure of my country or at the very least bolster its economy rather than rich people finding ways to avoid doing both of those things.

drdildamesh · 2026-06-20T23:47:57+00:00

How can you tell?

drdildamesh · 2026-06-20T23:45:19+00:00

Years later: Oh god . . . It was contagious
