Finally caved and started learning Blender, mostly just procrastinating the rest of the items on my To-do list. Hopefully soon I can start getting some models for the characters set up and in game.

I've managed to make some more progress for the game. Got a couple shaders for stylizing, some basic sounds for the flashlight and footsteps, and all of the sound responds to the current anxiety level!

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

I'm not in the spot financially, but I can spread the word! If you can help these people get out of the war they've been thrown in the middle of!

Officially day 6 of working on TRHE, couldn't do much the past couple days as I was finishing up with finals. Any ways my Steamworks account was approved a couple days ago! Now I can get a store page set up when I'm ready.

I officially have a working-ish prototype for the game (this officially day 2 of working on it). Here's to the development of what'll officially be my first game!!

[saoarmyvid]

Not ONCE have I ever written this much for a game idea in one day. And what's worse is that I'm nowhere near done... Now I just have to make sure that I don't dive into scope creep hell and never finish this one 😂

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

As someone who drives Linux and Windows close to daily, this is only half true (yes I know this is supposed to be mostly humorous but I want to sprinkle some knowledge into this).

Let's break it down; Starting with Windows, pro: you have one of the most robust and polished OSs of the big 3 and one of the largest library of applications that natively run on Windows without any middle-man for programs as far back as the Win95 days. Con: Microsoft is actively commuting OSSuic1de with Win11 by pushing Copilot and the rest of the categorically unfinished AI and ML crap that literally no-one asked for.

Now let's move to Linux; pro: Its extremely customizable down to the kernel level and is infinitely compatible with everything given community support and community-made tools. Con: it is really hard to go to Linux from another OS and get the same level of performance or compatibility without an actual shitload of research, experimentation, and guess work. Linux is extremely niche and really only works in specific situations where you can, without a doubt, rely on community-made tools.

Now mind you, I am an avid Linux supporter, and if I could fully switch over and have access to all of my tools there instead of Windows, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the reality of it is that unless everything you do is fueled by open-source projects maintained by a few hobbyists and don't need literally any of the professionally made programs that are leagues more stable and feature rich than any of the free alternatives.

And before people swarm to the notes to tell me "oh but you can run Windows programs on Linux with Wine", yes, *but* that compatibility comes with a huge asterix, it doesn't always work. There is a whole host of programs that just don't work properly or even at all when run with Wine, and even the ones that do still end up with stability and performance issues as it all has to be basically translated in real time by Wine from Windows to Linux.

And for those who are gonna say MacOS, you're in an even worse boat, as you have all of the worst restrictions of Windows and the compatibility issues of Linux, but worse. Mac will often throw errors trying to run programs from as short a couple years old, and the customization options are either practically non-exsistant or extremely surface level.

All in all, for creative professionals and even hobbyists, Linux is often too unstable and requires too much additional maintanence out of the box as opposed to Windows. Do I like Windows? Not really, there's a lot of shit that Microsoft has done to it that really pisses me off, and I have made the decision to stay on Win10 for as long as I can so I don't have to suffer through all of the crap that Microsoft is trying to dump into Win11. But unfortunately my creative process is locked to Windows, mostly since the program I use for music, Cakewalk, is Windows only and its the only I actually like and can stand using.

If you can move to Linux without sacrificing anything from the move, please do it. Linux is extremely powerful and can do pretty much anything, but if you are stuck with Windows, specifically Win11, because of your programs, while you can look into compatibility with Wine, I wouldn't worry too much on it. If you're on Win10, STAY THERE! Win10 might not have all of the bells and whistles that Win11 has, and its grave has already been dug with its end of service date rapidly approaching, it is by far the better option. I'd still look into open-source tools, as they are often made with utility in mind instead of marketability, but aside from that use what you already have.

This is not a call to move to either system, as both has their drawbacks, but don't be compelled to switch OSs on a whim because of the AI crap. Someone is going to find a way to work around it all and possibly even disable it entirely, but until then it may have to be something you work with. Use what you're comfortable with and don't think that you're incorrect for using one or the other.

Also @cyanroxanne your art is fucking awesome and I didn't mean to turn the funny Linux Fox into giant ramble about Operating Systems and I hope you anjoy your pride month

🐭Xenia here to remind u that u don't need to deal with windows! There's a better way

When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.

If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.

Make sure to spread this around. This is important.
