Do a PhD, they said.
  • Haha, yes I live in France 😉 I have one I go to for baguettes, one for rye bread and cookies, one for "tarte au citron" 😍🍪🥖 I'd happily teleport a fresh baguette to you if I could!

  • You can't sue us for making games 'too entertaining,' say major game developers in response to addiction lawsuits
  • Concerning Minecraft, as I know the game it seems fine, playing Java on a survival server I run for friends.

    However, I wonder what the experience is for the other millions of players, on Bedrock, highly popular monetized servers, etc.

    What crappy casino-like techniques are used to monetize Minecraft in those contexts? I really don't know as I'm in my own Minecraft bubble, but I'm sure there are lots of examples as it's such a monumentally large game.

  • I wasted my time making this shader!
  • I do currently keep a list of tasks and organise them daily, but what you said about putting on a different hat made me realise that I've been treating it as a chore to get done as fast as possible, whereas I should respect this stage and allot myself the time to get into the correct headspace. Thank you for the detailed reply and your encouragement!

  • I wasted my time making this shader!
  • Thanks for the compliment 🙂 and yes that's exactly it, I've been frustrated at myself about being overly critical of my own work, and would love to get more of that flowstate urgency you feel while participating in gamejams into my everyday life. But you're right, I'm going to follow your advice and make it more prominent!

    Knowing when to put the mouse and keyboard down is hard.

    I made this quite detailed shader, but it only fills a tiny part of the screen... Like maybe the player will see this once or twice max, but the rest of the time this element will only take up 40x40 pixel area 😅

    What techniques have you found that help to keep you on track and let you understand when it's time to stop?
