    Does "Contact Us" at the bottom of this site's page actually work? I asked a question in January and I'm still waiting for a reply. I now wonder if it's an artifact of the site's design that required an intern to run but was forgotten over time because the internship position was never refilled.

    That's odd. Requests are answered in 2-3 days at max and that's only on weekends. It must not have gone through for some reason.

    I originally figured it might take longer because my question might have been something to consult the legal department about.

    I bought some more JRPGs with discount for my phone. I hope I live long enough to play them all. Ooh look another one I wanted to try!

    A number of complicated dev challenges in RPG Maker seem to be solvable by putting up the illusion of an innovation instead of solving the actual challenge. It's not like the player will know that it's smoke and mirrors made to look like something much more complicated was done by the game dev(s).

    A simple example would be when it looks like something important changed on the map when it's actually just the player brought to a different map with mostly the same design copy-pasted from the previous map.

    Ahh, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, there have been some really inventive solutions to challenges over the years. Even in @JohnDoeNews' eventing challenges, I implemented a digital clock by making the parts out of a snow block from the tileset, and someone else used a stretched-out king bust for it (since we weren't allowed to use custom art).

    @Trihan I remember that. Everyone was so against the RTP only rule, but it turns out it did inspire some creative solutions, so that is something. :p

    Years of discount sales seeking at supermarkets add up a lot over time. If you have expenses you can't avoid, using ways to pay less is much the same as earning more income. This is how I'll have saved up a budget for my game's marketing.

    once you understand that any economy is inherently inflationary, any 'discounts' you may find are just the product being labeled *the actual value* after it's price had been inflated previously.
    prices always rise.
    why? because banks and loans.
    any student of economics knows that, and so do the economists... them not acting on it, is them being in on it.

    Some of my best dishes are a result of "hey, look what was on clearance for super cheap and see what I can do with it". It does not only save some money, it is also a fun practise for the cooking skills.

    I've started a list of people that might not be safe to work with or commission in the future after a composer has seemingly been exposed using unlicensed art materials for AI art on his Spotify in hypocrisy of asking someone not to sample his music.

    I vastly underestimated how much people don't like to go out in the cold today while doing Elite Raid for Pokemon GO. Forcing an in-person requirement was probably not the best idea for a raid, especially when coupled with increased raid difficulty. Bad mechanics synergy can really hurt a game's enjoyability.

    I am not raiding a lot anyways, I enjoy my long walks of hatching and catching so much more than trying to be in the right spot at the right time with hopefully enough people. Was happy about that one beast lately that you could do solo, because that is what I do most of the the times, just doing a random raid solo^^

    I assume that, especially on a very cold day, that any raids people are participating in are of the Tera Raid Battle variety.

    Well, the whole idea of pokemon go was to get people outside, so if they miss raid because they don't want to go outside, then I guess it is designed quite well. :p

    Looks like the Twitter purge may be happening very soon. I tweeted on an old account for the first time in years. I'm also keeping an eye out on a specific username that I've been eyeing for years.

    And which username is this?

    I'll reveal the name if I get it but after I submit and find out the result for my game's trademark registration.

    Google is doing the "play a limited time videogame in browser by clicking on Google title" again, in celebration of Jerry Lawson's 82nd birthday. It's interesting because you can "edit" the map during gameplay.

    Today with my limited budget, I'm getting a wireless controller, to test functionality for my game and for sanity while playing Disgaea 2.

    Twitter may be freeing up usernames taken up by bots/trolls next month. This is potentially going to be a big deal for anyone who is planning a particular title for their product or service, including video games. Assuming that Twitter doesn't go the way of Myspace over the next few years.

    My mom needs a new laptop, and researching for Black Friday deals has been an educational experience. The transition to 4k is pushing lots of prices down for 1080p laptops and some products may seem great on paper but user reviews have explained how great specs can still be on a potential piece of junk.

    I've also noticed a lot of the prices that are low are on like i3s and 256 GB HDs and really small monitors.

    There's also the apparent difference between regular laptops and gaming laptops, where battery life and cooling are big considerations, as many gaming laptops, while having higher specs, may have shorter usage lengths and hotter running than regular laptops.

    Somebody made a browser-based single-player gacha game using RPG Maker on itch.io and I can't remember where it was. I forgot to make a bookmark at the time and it was late at night.

    When testing out tracks, I don't like grainy sounds because I imagine playing a game with the track while having a headache, and grainy sounds might make the headache feel worse.

    The change to Twitter verification will affect commercial game dev marketing since the algorithms will soon prioritize blue checks over non-checks, and Twitter can't really be dumped if aiming for success due to how much of a share of global reach it has and the fact that reach can't be magically transferred.

    @TheMeowingFox The key thing is that being prioritized was never a free thing. It used to be getting the Blue Check mark was quite expensive and difficult. So really at least advertising wise, this is a win for the little guys. The site's still free either way, so largely it didn't change for 99.99% of users.

    The blue checkmark was formerly a form of verification, though. While I may not know how it used to work since I don't use Twitter, what you described isn't quite what it was for.

    And yes, I think having to pay to have a voice on Twitter or you get shadowbanned, is considerably worse than what it once was. And I expect that many people want to use the site for free, without being suppressed by an algorithm.

    I did so much walking with Pokemon GO that my foot started aching in a hurt way, so I took a day off from my daily exercise routine to heal. This feels like the opposite of what people need to watch out for while working on their games. Remember to touch grass once in a while because staying in good health will also be good for your game's development.

    Pokemon Go is so much fun. It helps me getting outside even on those nasty days where you just don't want to leave the house at all.

    YASSS Visustella finally put out the MZ map camera plugin I've been waiting for. Back in MV, I was fiddling with SumRndmDde's Camera Core plugin with essentially the same functions. Camera control makes a big difference in RPG visual storytelling imo.

You know.. I... I kinda lost my interest in living a long time ago. What sustains me is a lack of interest in dying.
Like a star that is balanced between the forces of gravity and outward pressure, I feel like the energy to produce that outward pressure is weakening. I feel like I should pull a Stardew Valley and revert to a more primitive lifestyle, away from others. :(

made more sprite for the Time passing game that I may or may not actually make. At least now I have a better idea how to make Rtp Walk sprites actually look wrinkly and old, since the Generator doesn't do that.

Well, now all of my Refreshable Events scripts also feature some brand new demos to let people see how easy it is to let the script handle the refreshing of a given set of events. All of this with just one specific script call per event!
