Most overrated video game of all time!

Which game do you think really isn't all that?

Fellow indies...

I am not playing your early access game. If you cannot test yourself or hire QA, chances are your game doesn't deserve my attention anyway.

Sometimes I really regret the #steamdeck . It's not powerful enough to run new games at any sense of fidelity, especially docked, and the streaming functionality from my actually good #gaming PC gets worse every update.

Sometimes I plug my laptop into my TV instead and stream via #steam from that, because the deck won't stop freezing or crashing the stream.

During this holiday season, let me remind you all:

The #Steam #SteamDeck dock is a PIECE. OF. CRAP.

Half the time it will refuse to connect to your Deck, the other half it will only work after a full shutdown from desktop mode (something about resetting the display targets).

Buy one of those cheap USB laptop dockers instead. Saves you about $50 and a ton of headache.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Please don't make your indie games super long winded with cheesey and cringey dialogue. It shows a lack of respect for the players' intelligence and time.

[#]indie devs:

The #Unreal engine default run animation is obvious and ugly

It's like using Arial for your game font, it looks lazy and unprofessional

Spend the 30 cents to buy a run asset my dude

In the #tiled discord it was suggested I contribute to the codebase by writing an additional export format.

The aspie who blabs nonstop said would "definitely save time, and your hard drive too by using one write instead of two"

I already have a tool that handles conversion. I've had it for years.

This is what open source really looks like: you are berated until they realize they really do have a bug, then they tell you to fix it after calling you incompetent. #opensource #coding #gamedev

I hate "fighting" against script language internals like #python and #lua, it feels like fighting #unity and #godot to get the results you want by fiddling with nobs...

the problem is that I was using a normal table, which itself had tables of x monsters. when a table exhausted its supply of monsters, lua removed any reference to the table immediately, as if it were never there (because it was technically empty).

my solution? add a pointer to itself, so it always knows where it came from :p

I have 5 years worth of technical writing and tutorials logged in a WordPress blog. Is it still safe to stay there? Should I move? What does mastodon think?

It's been years and years and the Lynx people have basically given up on delivering units to people on the Kickstarter list.

I am like $700 in the hole. Who do I contact at Kickstarter about the people behind the product not providing it, even though it exists, and ignoring contact?
