Watching Demolition Man on a streaming service and they go eat dinner at “Pizza Hut”, although I always remember it being “Taco Bell” and the Taco Bell logo is STILL on the windows! Trying to gaslight me!

Mario Wonder 💯 complete! Best 2D Mario I’ve played since Mario World on SNES. That last special level was so hard, took me about 50 lives lol 😭

Do I have any freemium mobile dev friends who have found the secret to monetising Indian users? We have crazy high DL / DAU from them but ridiculously low IAP / Ad revenue compared to other countries.

Really enjoying Blue Eye Samurai, it’s very good…. However my dumb brain keeps getting triggered that is not Blue Eyed Samurai. Sounds wrong without the -d 🧐

Waiting for the announcement that Godot founders are really lizard people funnelling your cash into puppy killing factories to really nail the game engine trifecta this month.

I predict Unity will waive the install fee for mobile F2P devs as long as they are using the Unity advertising platform giving Unity a huge monopoly on mobile game advertising. Considering the Unity/Ironsource merger it would track. 😬💀

I’m learning Japanese and have an online lesson with a teacher each Saturday that I record and re-watch during the next week. It’s very useful…. If I can get over how super cringy it is to watch myself get things terribly wrong and ummm and ahhing myself through a lesson 😩😭

Wasted hours this week bug fixing, tweaking and generally just hacking a feature into our game because I was convinced it would take waaaay longer to do it properly. I finally broke today, deleted it all and did it properly….. took me 15 mins. 😭🤪

Every Aussie Indie game-dev I know hates working on licensed titles with a passion….. every single one of them would have gleefully worked on a Bluey game, myself included.

The Firemonkeys layoffs (very sad) got me thinking… Is there an Aussie studio still going successfully after being bought out by an American company? I can’t think of any, all have been either gutted or shutdown completely within years of being acquired. 😭

If Twitter goes down I just want you to know that I’ll be there on the next platform…. Lurking…. never posting anything vaguely interesting at all.

Hey @duolingo where are the stories in the Japanese course now? I have the new path and don’t see them at all now. Up to Unit 21 and none there!
