I’d love to see more developers with this attitude.

Atmosphere? Love it. Dread? Great! Darkness? Tolerable. Jump Scare? No thank you.

Jump scares are like the fart jokes of horror. Cheap thrills, low craftsmanship, and turns people off of the market.

And that’s not to say I don’t appreciate the occasional jump scare. They can be tastefully made, or used sparingly. Less is often more with these, and it helps add to the tension knowing it might come up again. But if they’re just non stop they lose their payoff quickly.

Funny enough, I find taking the stuff out of the fridge is harder than putting it all back. I could be making much better sandwiches if I’d just dig the stuff out of the fridge.

I’ve actually heard a fairly common motivation tip is to not tell people when you’ve started a new project or healthy habit.

Some people believe that sharing the news with people is what ultimately gives you the feelgood chemicals, and then suddenly you have less desire to do the thing.

I don’t think this is to say that you shouldn’t share your accomplishments. In fact, if you struggle with perfectionism, you might never think that you’re totally finished a project. But if you’re in the tenuous first stages of a new activity, it might benefit you to wait until things are a little more concrete before sharing the fun stuff.

Yeah, my city has street sweepers and gardeners, so I wouldn’t imagine this would be a huge problem.

They could even put out compost bins like public trashcans. I wouldn’t mind cleaning up a couple of fruits here and there as I walk by.

If it’s in a public place in front of businesses and such, then the business has an incentive to keep things tidy. So all in all, I think it’s a fairly easy problem to solve.

mek nism like many rock work together

I once played this game that was styled as a museum of lockpicking mini games throughout the history of games. Super niche, but I’m in game dev so I eat that stuff up.

In four different places the curator mentioned that the lead developer Daniel Vávra is a terrible human. But they also acknowledged that the lockpicking was unique and interesting in that game. It read something like I imagine a museum with an exhibit of the Nazis enigma machine would - innovation spurred by terrible people.

If you’re on the fence about the game, know that the lead dev is a gamergate chud. But if you want a whitewashed and misogynistic game with a thin veneer of “historical accuracy” then I guess the game is on the cheap right now.

I heard the original ending they filmed had Peter’s new boss at the construction site telling him to come in on Saturday. You can see him walking up in the closing shots.

I hope you get your happy ending.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much!

Keyboard support is definitely a must for our other games. I’m becoming more aware of the importance of accessibility.

Join us for tonight’s news at eleven, where we have breaking headlines that water is wet and the pope is catholic.

If we were to compare it to our day jobs, the opportunity cost for the team and me would probably be around ten grand.

If we compare the time spent to the money earned, then we’re each worth several cents an hour.

It’s a good thing I didn’t get into game dev for the money, it seems I’m quite bad at it

I’m afraid not, this came out well before the deck and I can’t afford one to test on.

I’m not sure that it’s a good target for the deck anyway where it’s a splitscreen game.

Dominos used to be the cheapest pizza in town. Then we got a Little Caesars that was much cheaper.

I was eating the cheapest pizza, so it’s Little Caesars for me. A couple years later they get shutdown for gross (heh) health code violations.

I no longer get Little Caesars, and that made me rethink getting the cheapest pizza. Now I prefer my local pizzeria.

I read an article in Uplifting News the other day - it was about an elderly woman who fell and broke her leg while hiking, and a whole band of people helped carry her down the mountain and to the hospital.

There’s an awful lot of bad news out there, and it often feels like humanity is failing each other. But at least in this story, absolute strangers came together to help someone who couldn’t help themselves. I cried happy tears.

@KeefChief13@lemmy.world @Amanduh@lemm.ee @indomara@lemmy.world Thank you all so much for your interest! :)

The game is called Shoot Your Friends. It’s a death match couch game for 2-4 players who share a screen and pilot tanks around an arena.

Please be aware that it is somewhat niche, it’s only compatible with controllers and local multiplayer. But if you ever get the gang over for game night it can be a fun way to spend the evening.

Haha, I’ve considered it. I’d really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.

I released a game like three years ago and it’s earned $97 in that time.

I feel your pain

We all hope we don’t end up in the control group.

I just bite into it like an apple.

People are often disgusted, which just makes it taste all the sweeter.

I think we’re in the start of it now, let’s gooooo

The surgeon deserves a little fun too
