Got hit with the incredible error "418 I'm a teapot" for the first time ever.

I knew about HTCPCP but not this error!

> The HTTP 418 I'm a teapot status response code indicates that the server refuses to brew coffee because it is, permanently, a teapot.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Permit me a thread ๐Ÿ™‡: Thank you so much to anyone that's picked up BIRDCAGE; played it, given us a review, listened to the OST. It's massively appreciated! We put so much work into this game over the last 2-3 years and it's not even really sunk it, that it's real and that it's out.

Managed to make Kobe Game Labyrinth for an hour this afternoon.

Tama In-Between was the standout game for me!
Really polished puzzle-platformer with Elechead vibes but a pretty different mechanic.

At first I thought this would just be baking a 3d animation, or just using a simple palette swap, but it actually goes a bit further. Clever technique, basically UV mapping sprites into texture space.
