makes me think about demos in a different way too - by far most of the games i sunk a billion hours into as a kid and loved, i only had the demo. whoever put the demo together did a big thing for me

i now hear a lot (or what feels like a lot) from folks who loved this game as kids, which is really cool for me. a great reminder that how something is received visibly on the internet is no real reflection of its actual value or contribution to the world

if there's a reestablished jedi order or whatever they should view midichlorians the way we view, like, physiognomy. the only people who still ever mention them should be the sith

some canon new Star Wars thing should address midichlorians by acknowledging them as a whole-cloth pseudoscience and gatekeeping device. qui-gon has the right kind of dadvibe to have honestly believed in it

This puzzle game is extremely chill to play. beautiful levels and interesting physics puzzles to putter about in for a while. Also a cute whale Recommended re-release of a classic imo

Yeah I think tutorials that aren't about the input system should just use the old input system, it's easy to move everything to Enhancedinput when you're ready to actually get across it. Alas nobody but me is good at making unreal tutorials

Swizzle is a pretty common coding term that I think generally means moving swapping some components of something (eg a vector) around? For enhancedinput I recommend just sitting down and reading the whole doc on it. Save you a lot of confusion

people need to be way more comfortable getting satisfaction from games on their own terms instead of through in-game rewards. like just enjoy the experience. "i saw a cool mountain but nothing was at the top" literally you thought the mountain was cool and you climbed it, let that be the reward

i've been making smoothies every day and now it's too cold and i am once again mad that nobody has invented "hot ice", ice cubes that are hot instead of cold and when they melt they melt into hot water instead of cold. how hard could it fucking BE

also spiderman is quite an interesting example because it has many graphics but basically no style or sense of place at all. relentlessly clean and empty.

The gig I have been doing 3 days a week for a while evaporated yesterday (as in project cancelled), which for me is a record. I've taken it completely in stride despite needing money. Getting good at this
