It was the “so others find you interesting” part I was reacting to. It sounds like that’s not what you meant, so don’t worry about it.

People worry far too much about what others think of them and what mold they should fit into.

Become proficient in one or more things so others find you interesting.

No offense, cause I think your message is good overall, but you contradict yourself in the same paragraph.

Trying to learn things so others will like you more isn’t a great way to do it. I know because I tried that. My self-love became conditional with that mindset, and there was always something else I could come up with I had to learn or change about myself before I could be lovable.

My old therapist called me out on it. He said there’s nothing wrong with pushing yourself to improve, but if you don’t balance that with unconditional self love it will simply lead to depression.

Don’t forget to tip the self checkout.

As far as I know you also can’t just buy the Larian engine. It’s proprietary.

They’ve gotten a lot of heat for that over the years. I can’t believe it’s even legal honestly.

It warms my heart to see all the Adobe hate and people switching to other things more and more. And I say that as a professional designer who has to pay my adobe tax every year to stay employed. Every person I see switch increases the chance I’ll get to kick them to the curb someday myself.

It’s their level of aggression towards fan projects that sets them apart I think.

Someone should make a reverse version of this story where the frog eats the scorpion midway across.

Sloppy joes are good, at least the ones I’ve had are.

Very sad to hear. Cyan is a massive influence on me and I’m always rooting for them. They definitely haven’t had a smooth or easy road over the years though.

I play so many video games I thought that sign was a choice dialog overlaid on the photo for a second. It’s so weirdly flat in the perspective. 😅

When I personally use it it means “OK, sounds good, I have nothing more to add but I read your message.”

I didn’t know there were other care-creatures besides bears

OK good to hear!

I actually really have enjoyed the game itself but you aren’t fucking kidding about the rest of it. It’s truly insane how much friction there is between deciding to play and getting into a lobby.

I known I’ll like the game (the franchise is one of my all time favorites), it just had a lot of technical problems on launch so that’s what I’ve been waiting to see improved. Sounds like it might still be kinda rough based on the first part of your comment.

How’s the game state these days? I’ve been waiting to play until it got fixed up.

For real. I had a project to make two full since player campaigns and it was waaaaaay too ambitious. I’ve always been hopelessly ambitious with game dev stuff and I still am honestly 😅

So fun to hear everyone chiming about doing this back then.
