I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

I've personally found MDN for JavaScript and the Unity Docs to be excellent. But it's true that a lot of docs are written expecting you already know programming. For things like arrays, I guess I'd say doing tutorials is probably helpful? Though plenty of docs suck regardless.

Is it wrong to call a Jetpack Cat mirror match a dogfight?

I absolutely despise this and am off to share this with friends.

Gonna need to see your interpretations of gumbo members as xcom soldiers

Yeah this is just bizarre stuff. Like how do the execs convince themselves that this makes any sense?

RNG Discourse is a Disaster RNG discussions suck. Let’s get away from the framing of β€œRNG vs Skill” and explore the design space.

RNG vs Skill is a false dichotomy. There's so much more to talk about when it comes to RNG in games, and my third article for @wayward.bsky.social 's blog discusses exactly that. waywardstrategy.com/2025/03/03/r...
Take a look, tell me what you think!

That's fair. Her boons this time around are all fantastic, but I want more than just one on only some runs!

Yeah that's fair. I feel like the speedrun mentality I go with is "if I die, I die". And I can't turn down Raki's promise of "number go up".

Are you using Strength/Athena/no death defies? I feel like I've been only really using that setup for speedrun attempts, but I could see how deflect and damage reduction are still better on high fear.

Baby's first Starter Pack! πŸ₯³

A starter pack for our excellent Game Developer's Conference Associates - CAs - of past and present!

I will add more to it as I discover more CAs! 🫢

There are also starter packs, which will have a bunch of folks to follow. For example, this is an nyc indie dev starter pack- go.bsky.app/N3pteUP. If your old mutuals are part of one, you might be able to get them in one fell swoop.
