One of the most important issues of modern censorship is that it makes quite the opposite of what it claims:

It's crucial to have freedom to show reasonable and planned evil, lust, desire, and so on.

Making things bland teaches nothing and protects no one.

Cool story, may help someone: so, a few weeks ago right before my flight to Edinburgh, my living room (and office) main light burst in flames.

And I only decided to look for a replacement when I returned. And I used the secondary light for several weeks and it's dim and kinda far from my desk. It was a bad idea, since it's winter and it heavily affected my work. I didn't realize why but every day I wanted to sleep constantly all the time.

Today I simply placed a temporary light nearby (while waiting for the delivery) and the day went much better.

So, never underestimate light, you need it, especially in winter! 🥶

We have the last sack of $$,
Just about 50 more billions...

Meanwhile, Tim Sweeney decided to eat shit from the biggest audience he can gather by saying that AI usage should not be known by a customer.

This is why Epic Store will never overthrow Steam, not even a little.

How can he say that? He just invested in AI as all of them this year. And he started to praise it in the summer.

Make Sure To Add These Features To Your Game To Avoid Bad Reviews

All are very basic, but I see those features missing over and over in indie games. Another one to add: never make a controller-only or keyboard only game — support both.

Localization, bros!

Humble Bundle allowed a sale from literally one AI bro with shady company founded in 2022 and has 3000 courses with zero workers. Even his website is vibe-coded and falling apart.

Be careful and don't buy it!
Find better alternatives!

Staring at an empty room will apparently give you more experience in game development than his courses.

The whole Splash Damage may be shut down. The studio, acting under British laws, has to make "consultations" before laying off people en masse.

They were working on Gears of War, Halo, and several other noscripts.

Growth of small game engines (and kinda stagnation of Game Maker)

Not sure if it's good for players...

The only thought I have when watching the new Stranger Things — let them go! Actors don't want to be there any more. They are all tired of this. The story goes in spirals and doesn't feel as natural as Dark was.

It's bland, there's not even a theme this time. It's not the 80s or 70s, no well-established cultural references (there are some briefly mentioned ones, though). You can skip it until the finale will be released in a month. Watching paint dry is more entertaining.
