I'm not a Streamer so I don't know what Streamers need in terms of features to turn on and off to make streaming easier. I watched someone streaming Death by Scrolling and they wanted to turn off looping SFX because they got in the way of talking. If you stream a lot are there others things? Happy to add them.

I wish there was some kind of global internet-wide setting that says "I don't want to you use fucking passkeys, stop asking me".

One week until Death by Scrolling.

One. Week.

Stages of hearing about a new bug:

1) Denial - That’s not a real bug!
2) Anger - What are these testers thinking!
3) Bargain - I’m sure I fixed this before? Didn’t I?
4) Depression - I’m never going to fix all these bugs.
5) Acceptance - Fine! I’ll fix the bug and it turned out to be pretty simple.

If you think video game shouldn't be political, then you haven't been paying attention while you play Battlefield.

Kind of frustrating that serval gaming outlets are calling the Oct 28 release of Death by Scrolling a "Windows PC" release while totally ignoring (forgetting) it also includes the native Mac and Linux. We worked hard to fully support all three platforms.

Death by Scrolling is coming October 28th.

I took a small vacation to the south island of NZ.

Make no mistake: Death by Scrolling is a biting commentary on runaway greed and exploitation by the rich.

@Meeea Yes, it was ported to Amiga and Atari ST later.

I guess Sept 2nd is as close to an anniversary we have for Money Island. I made the gold master on the 2nd but it probably didn't appear in stores until Oct. There was no "release date" back them. It annoys we when people say Money Island "released" today.

Leisure Suit Larry solved the age verification problem years ago, the UK should just use that.

I watched a YouTube video of someone using Vibe coding to make a game with AI. 45 mins in and it was running but spewing out error after error. The presenter finally went in an fixed the errors by hand requiring a lot of time and knowledge. I watched the whole thing like someone staring at a traffic accident.

I want to return to time where my biggest worry was how fast I was leveling my warlock.

American Oligarchs could be brought to their knees if everyone: a) Stopping using Facebook b) Stopped using X c) Stopped shopping on Amazon. d) Stopped using Google. Yeah, I'm not holding by breath.
