Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2961:
Your voice is unique. It’s a combination of many factors: your upbringing and background; the books you’ve read; your personality. Some people may not like it, but it’s yours. Keep it authentic. Trying to sound like someone else is a betrayal of who you are.

it’s not entirely on them, too:

games publishers allowed this ecology to flourish, storefronts don’t curate to give titles a chance beyond a studio’s own efforts, and social media platforms have largely optimized towards sensationalism being the highest driver of engagement that can be monetized

Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence

The reason this matters is that "Imagine Dragons released a live-service game" makes it seem like a cashgrab, but that does not appear to be the story here. These guys are lifelong gamers. The lead singer programs and releases his own iOS games as a hobby, without telling anyone!

A very welcome confirmation that the games included in the newly announced Playdate Season 3 (!!!) won't be made with AI. A stance we wholeheartedly agree with ❤️

we gotta normalize paying at least 25-30 bucks for indie games cuz working for years on a title and then being expected to sell your art for a fiver is insanity.

Nice #AgentsOfGroove double review feature in issue 6 of #playdate magazine Cranko! 🪩

"So unique and well done [...] easily worth the cost of entry, especially if you are a fan of lighthearted yet challenging rhythm games like PaRappa the Rapper and Rhythm Heaven"

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

What this shows is that no matter where one goes or no matter how much technology one has, what humans need most is each other.

a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.

It’s really funny how much vibe coding boils down to the Warhammer 40k view of technology.

They’re literally offering prayers to the machine spirits here.
