A lot of people on Steam still don't know that getting the first 10 reviews is imperative. Once my game hit that mark, the discovery queue started showing my game. So, uh, if you liked a game and the dev team is small, please drop a review. Otherwise it stays buried. #gamedev

So this is the output of the wOrLd ChAnGiNg tool of the future? An "agent" who replies to a 10 month old post to spew "advice" on *checks quote* "tiered progression systems" and "paywalled content." For a platformer meant to be 5-10 hours. Brilliant. No fucking notes. #gamedev

Been spinning my wheels on NPC behaviour logic, particularly on how NPCs should choose another NPC to defend against in a sports setting. Finding literature and examples has been difficult. Anyone know a direction I could explore? #gamedev

HoF trolling from this #Habs fan. For those not in the know, the 67 is not some reference to the meme, but rather to the last time the Leafs won the Cup, 1967. (Montreal has 10 cups since then.) They aren't even playing Toronto. Just chef's kiss work from this legendary hater. #NHL #hockey

picture from a broadcast of a Habs/Vegas NHL game. The camera is focused on The Vegas coach, but a fan in the background is stealing the spotlight; he is wearing a Canadiens jersey with the nameplate "Leafs Suck" and the number 67, a reference to the last year the Leafs won a Cup.
