In 2016, I made very stupid jokes involving the N-word. After being insulted that way in other communities, I directed those slurs at myself in derision.
I realised it was an insensitive thing to do, and I didn't do it anymore after that.
I once again deeply apologize.

I'm short and I just wanna say, it's funny anyway but prefacing it like that removes even the tiny blip of discomfort I could've felt, leaving only laughs. Well played!

Exactly, that's a 1:1 translation of what he said.
Thing is, he is honest: men who prefer younger girls are weak and cowardly.
It's easier to look experienced than to have an actual spine.
With time, even a 18yr old will see he's worthless, but it might take 5 years to quit.

This is amazing. Is it entirely like this? A whole episode of this would leave me disabled from laughter

They always find some artifact left from the dream world though, a father, a lock of hair, or a key. Which makes me even angrier because they don't even have the guts to commit to a version. They just let the public decide. Cowards

Publishers take a cut from your earnings, which is how they recoup their cost and make a profit. That's completely unrelated to owning your game or having a say in your artistic process. You're conflating things.
That type of deal is frequent.

This is what was offered to you, but you stiffly avoided it under guise of misunderstanding the point.The point is that you read 'guys' in their example as a non gender neutral, *even in the context of a conversation that primes you to see it as neutral*. Because it's not neutral

lack of self hosted options. I don't trust anyone with my data, and I certainly don't trust any company to stay afloat forever (or not get bought by a malicious 3rd party).
Lack of interop. I need my data as easily out as it gets in.

This is a unique project, and if you dream of making RPGs, get it! And if you just care about gamedev being accessible and enjoyable for everyone, support RPG in a box!
To be 100% open and transparent: This is it.
Development of RPG in a Box will unfortunately have to stop for the time being unless the campaign succeeds or sales increase soon. Please RT and help this go viral! I know together we can make it happen! (1/5)

Actually maximizing profits and sustainability leads to a much more humane treatment of workers.
CEOs aren't inhumane because they maximize profits, they're inhumane because they lack basic building blocks, and invoke the efficiency myth as an excuse.

so many layers upon layers of baseless assumptions, and that, coming from someone who's smart, cultivated, and understands statistics.
This is a tweet to use as an example of how extremely confirmation bias can scramble your judgement and thinking ability.

No no, this is cheating. No one in the mainstream today comes even close to comparing with Madhuri, she's on a whole other level. Off competition

even fleetingly thinking this is new in any way shows either a bias bordering on delusion, or a willful and lazy ignorance of any history. Maybe both?

The opposite. Leaders will be bought, threatened, or killed. Leaders will divide the people. Leaders are a liability.
Revolutions without leaders are stronger.
The basic demands are clear, people

respect you, but no. Many reasons to criticize bitcoin, or for not believing in it's future.
But none of them are mentioned by this piece that fails completely at being objective or critical. Every argument is deeply flawed in at least one way, and the tldr is "i don't get it"

Game Maker is also, from my non scientific measure, overrepresented in indie darlings.
I'm a Godot evangelist myself, but I think GameMaker is just a great engine.

@CicmilJovan recursion is actually natural imho.
If you pack boxes in a truck, you generally don't count the boxes first, then go through them until you have counted the right amount.
No, you put a box in the truck. Then you look around. More boxes? Put a box in the truck

"crooks" presupposes premeditated dishonesty.
What the tweet says, rather, is that a certain level of wealth cannot be deserved, no matter what you do. Passed a certain cap, you're "taking", even though most rich people are merely willfully ignorant, or simply naive.

As a cishet, I have no idea why this is so bad. If I was going into any transition (career change, moving countries, splitting from my family), I would deem it normal for people to enquire about the state of that change. To me, this expresses care & interest. Can anyone explain?

but they shouldn't know it's temporary, or else it's way too easy.

There are no benefits, at all, that anyone was ever able to articulate.
Also, "changing the ecosystem " wouldn't work, you need to change causality and spacetime.
Unless you want all games to function the same till forever, with no new style, POV, or tech

now that I think about it, actually not really, the sinking Titanic is probably more secure and stable.
But I'm sure you can find something that's "relatively" less stable and secure than Lebanon.
If you look really hard.
Maybe francium 223, or a Lebanese's brain?

For anyone who might get the wrong idea, in the Godot community we always encourage people to pick the best engine for their case, and a lot of people use Godot concurently with Unity/Gamemaker/Phaser/other. Any tool that empowers people to do games is welcome!

I personally am having increasing trouble with the "Disney 3.0 ~ Glen Keane" look n feel that has become pervasive in US anim. There was a time where each studio distinguished itself, now its basically tiny variations on an established formula, like Japanim.
1
6
How about dropping the "great" narrative altogether? It's childish, petty, and arrogant. Is the US better than other countries, was it ever? Is there any way to quantify this objectively? My guess is a resounding no for all those questions, but more importantly, who cares?
3
Middle Eastern peeps, though in theory less educated than US citizens (of course actually mostly crushing them in history/geography), surprisingly don't conflate israelis and jews, and rarely have anything against jews. There is some racism of course, but not even close to the US
3
6
More than the design themselves, the animation, while amazing, is so repetitive that it makes me feel queasy. The same Keane smile, the same fumbling, the same timings, over n over again. Also, in this case, making women look even more like Bratz dolls is not supercool in my book
5
they're doing exactly what they're supposed to. Bring attention to a subject that everyone was pretending didn't exist or just needed a bit of tightening.
If there's ever real equality in the US, it'll be solely thanks to the riots. Just like every other progress ever made

Nice taking things out of context. Here's the follow up that you conveniently omit.
Also, even if it was true, one case does not mean all, or even most, or even significantly enough.
But you knew that. You also knew the follow up. You're not dumb, you're just evil.

This can be someone from your own family too.
It turns your entire support network into abusers of different degrees makes you lose grasp on reality and feel mad.
“Triangulation” is a critical thing to understand with regard to abuse.
It’s when an abuser socially maneuvers themself into the center of your web of relationships, a position from which they tint the flow of information to manipulate people to trust your abuser more than you.

Peaceful protesting's "meaning and purpose" is to keep the status quo and allow intellectually lazy cowards to keep their head in the sand.

The most damning part is all those people complaining about being unable to "trust this source of information".

There's no reason to play a game at all if grass isn't cuttable. This is the most important feature (however I'd appreciate it if cut grass left some stub, a testimony of the heroic cutting that happened).

No dissing the artists, it is great work and I wish I had even a fraction of their talent, but it's just a bit too bad, imho. I personally glaze over such designs now, and I truly get an uncanny valley effect when I watch a cartoon and see for the nth time the same stuff.

I am so sorry for your time and emotional investment and understand that it must be very hard to hear, but the war on terror wasn't and isn't about terror. It is about exploiting your patriotism and honesty to kill me (I'm an Arab), while making both our rich leaders richer.

I thought I'd get tired of those, but the opposite is happening, I'm only laughing more with each. Lovely work.

Yes sure, but in this case people follow you specifically for this ideology. Asking about the latest Avengers movie will be less biased than asking "is decentralised better". We all believe so by default, that's _why_ people are following you.

And they do on their own, through some cosmic godly justice, right? Or some mother nature cycle. But not at all because some people decide that, despite the fact that they could profit from the situation too, go beyond immediate perception and decide to do something about it

First, you need the Animator's Survival Kit. Just read it slowly 2 or 3 times. In that time, you can test softwares to see what works for you. In the ultra simplistic 2D category, you will find:

- synfig
Android:
- RoughAnimator
- Flipaclip

False. If you send a large sum, you'll have to justify it, the bank will call you, and they might even refuse. Whether it's a good thing is open to debate, but this absolutely can't happen within the banking system, at all

Jeff B could eradicate poverty in the US and he'd *still* be left with enough money to be one id the richest rich this Earth has ever seen.

read a bit of history before saying enormities. Programming was a woman's job until there was good money to be made, which is when they were forcibly pushed out by misogynistic men.
Today, women are on average better academics and programmers than men, for equal xp levels.

When I compare Lebanon to a burning, sinking Titanic made of water soluble foam, with people killing each other on the bow over the last rotten sandwich while the lifeboats go unused, then YES, definitely, Lebanon is relatively secure and stable. Kinda. Vaguely.

Maybe there isn't if you send $100, but if you send a sizeable amount like $6k or "your life's savings", your banker will call you and make sure you actually ordered this. Possibly will want a confirmation in writing. For 10k or more, you'll need formal justification

this can induce people not wearing masks to think they need to protect themselves, to which they can answer dismissively or with a death drive.
As such, a better metaphor is "not all intercourse leads to babies, don't wear condoms", but then again the same people don't 😬

Honestly I am not here to tell people what to do, just ask. I will buy the game if its on epic/steam, for support of the author, but I will not download it or play it. I understand pressures authors are under, and I ain't here to criticize, just asking questions that matter to me

I came for the tech, I stayed for the ethical discourse and the mind altering views on gender expression (ashamed to say I wasn't smart enough to figure that out on my own)

I so incredibly disagree with the general tone (though individual points may be considered). This seems to me like it is only relevant in an unhealthy bubble with too much money and not enough focus, riding it's own hype, creating value for shareholders rather than peeps

Maybe you know this, but in case: people say they'll buy and then 80% of them don't, even if they strongly believe they would. All a poll like this says is how many people believe they'll buy a thing; it says *not a single insight* about how many people would actually buy a thing

This trailer is the best I've seen in years. Very smart. I'll buy it if you release on itch.io or gog!

On that note, but not mobile specifically, I really wish Itch had more "playlist" features. Such as:
- Playlist length
- Plays count&time
- Unplayed marker
- Mass items move to x
- Search operators
I could see those being on mobile, as I get more time to comb and sort on the go

EA, the company, doesn't care about the sound of a gun, character design, or anything but scoring points. That *all they do*. Wanting diversity points is no different than any other points. If it sells, they'll do it. Them caring about diversity just means the tide is shifting
