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 once had my employer perform a wellness check when I was having a mental health episode.

I was working remotely, but my mental health was in the toilet. I had a candid conversation with my supervisor where I told him I needed some time off because I had been feeling suicidal. He was an absolute bro, told me I was doing a good job, and that I earned some time off. He agreed that our conditions and the demands from management were absurd. He tells me to just take some time, and he’ll clear the way with HR.

Well, I’m logging off my computer when I get a call from his boss. He’s asking why I’m suddenly taking some time off. I tell him that I haven’t been feeling well, but he keeps badgering me for a specific reason. I tell him that I’m very vulnerable and don’t want to disclose a reason. That’s between me and my doctor.

Well he keeps pressing and he tells me that, “sharing our vulnerabilities is what fosters trust.” So I’m like fine, you really want to know, this job and your management style are making me suicidal.

Tone immediately shifts. He’s going into full damage control cover-your-ass mode. He tells me that I should consider a different career if I’m not up to the task. I’m already having like the worst day of my life (so far) and I start to have a panic attack.

I tell him you know what, it’s not his business and I’m going to call my doctor. Before I can get on the phone with my doctor, HR is calling me. They tell me they have to get hold of my emergency contact to make sure I’m not currently killing myself. I tell them my emergency contact is out of town (unrelated), so they say they have to call the police. I ask her not to, there’s no risk to myself and things have been taken out of context. HR insists that it’s company policy.

So while I’m hyperventilating because my boss pressed me for more details than I was comfortable sharing about my health, they sent a man with a gun to my house to check on me.

I understand that the company is protecting its liability or whatever. But I really felt that my rights had been violated somehow. The police are not suitable to intervene in a mental health episode. I had a new fear that I wouldn’t be able to calm down when the police arrived and I’d end up shot or something.

TLDR - I know this post is fake, but companies really do feel like they own their employees. A wellness check from your employer is absolutely bullshit, but that won’t stop them from trying.

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.

My basement flooded the other day. It’s been a flurry of activity trying to clean things up. Today I’m directing contractors in the cleanup and tear out portion of repair.

I know fuck all about DIY, so I might get taken for the proverbial ride, but I also know if I don’t do anything then it’ll get a whole lot worse.

This weekend I think I’m going to get higher than giraffe nuts and do nothing at all.

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.

All animals are equal, except that some animals are more equal than others.

Can I get your spell in a potion so I can share it with my friends?

I just bite into it like an apple.

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

Your food guide looks different than mine. Notably, yours has a distinction between meat, poultry, and seafood where mine are all lumped in as one category that also includes legumes.

For what it’s worth, I believe this guide has been fully discredited. There was a considerable amount of lobbying to present certain foods prominently.

That’s why they call it the graveyard shift

Y’know, that’s an interesting point.

I blame our nutritional education. I grew up with the Food Pyramid (now debunked), and peanut butter would be considered a “meat alternative” which I think people conflate with being a source of protein.

It’s laughable to think that Bill is an ‘expert’ at AI.

The last time he had an actual hand in the software he sold was probably in the 90’s.
