Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.
Here we go, please enjoy my highlight reel from an absolutely wild trip that I couldn't possibly say no to 😄💖
I would like everyone who says "these devs should just go indie" to put $10k into a "let gamedevs feed their families" fund before they are allowed to start talking about how easy it would be for people to go indie
Pleased to be on this list with so many other amazing artists!!! 💚💚💚
Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.
Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.
My historical gardening game is out on Steam!
If you're feeling for spy plots, queer romance, discovering plants and caring for real plants, you can now join the Abbey and embody Agnès! 🌿

It’s hard to make video games in the middle of all of this. It’s a little easier when you have something to say and you know you’re giving people a brief respite from the horrors.

This awful, don't get me wrong, but also somewhat validating? At every scale making a game is just really difficult.

When executives lay off THOUSANDS because of their terrible strategy and don’t take any accountability, it’s not hard to find the problem. Or the solution.
But shareholders are overprioritized, so the board chickens out and refuses to make change for sustainability.
Sometimes i really can't believe I get to do this all day and call it a job

I am VERY impressed with the effort indies have gone to this year decorating their booths!
It's so much fun walking around and seeing them all.
Here's just a small selection.
And well deserved!
