The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

I make games and collect hobbies, currently obsessed with miniature painting. Some kind of trans. Occasional coffee making posts since I do it like 40 hours a week. https://jotull.itch.io/
Indie game bundle saving buyers over $1,000 in support of laid off developers has raised over $100,000 in three days. https://bit.ly/4w0uow7
There's a type of parasocial attachment that doesn't get talked about where people latch on to a game (Star Citizen and Zomboid are two great examples) and hook up their dopamine system to whether they feel the devs are or are not making the game specifically for them. Bethesda gets it a lot, too.

I hate that I'm basically only able to release a small thing every year or so, but yeah. You need more failures than others have attempts
I've met would be creatives who work on stuff for a decade or two and never release anything, and I cannot emphasize that "completing a project and moving on" is a hugely important part of learning, more so than working on stuff for decades is, and you will lose out if you don't do it

The Odyssey is a movie which is based on a book that's based on Greek History. Being based on history, many scenes are based on battles which actually took place in Ancient Greece. So here's this Giant Enemy Cyclops. Odysseus here will flip over this Cyclops and attack him for massive damage.

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.
