if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. i've posted about it before; it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thank you!!!

World of Warcraft's initial playable race roster was designed to appeal in some way to every known clique in 2003: the preppies, the goths, the jocks, the nerds, the normals, the stoners, the flower children, and the short kings. to which were later added the aliens, the preppies (edgy), the nerds (fintech), the furries, the furries (weeb), and finally, the scalies

you can buy 3d games with "3D" in the title however. at this point it's camp it's fine

hi! so, i was wondering, how does it feel being known mainly as "The Guy Who Made Cookie Clicker," rather than for some other accomplishment, game, or similar? i know this is technically contributing to it, but you get the point

over the ages i have been given many names by the many cultures that perceived me. in certain isles i am commonly known as something that translates to "He who portends great loss of cattle"

my stance on "bad game programming" is if it's stupid but it works and the pope plays it then it's not stupid

btw this is showing a price of $5.49 currently despite me specifically setting it to $5 (maybe $4.99?) on release. i think auto currency pricing is on (the app store tries to maintain equivalent value in different countries). what the fuck has your president been up to

I will gib yu $5 (cookie clicker's price on steam) to remove the ads on mobile (they're very annoying I keep clicking them). I understand that development is going to be slow, go at your own pace but I gotta get rid of those ads please pretty please 🥺.

hello yes that will be $5 please

several people in the replies saying they love me so guess it's back to web dev with my goofy ass

everyone is making those really cool lowpoly indie games and i'm still out here writing my little websites that do stuff when you click

this isn't about ability i have faith i could make some really nice little 3d games or just anything that isn't html-based if i put in the time. i've done some prototypes with godot it felt fairly comfortable. yet somehow i always feel drawn back to web development. the lamest medium
