we get the dirt from the Moon

the Moon dirt will be even closer to the ocean when it's under it instead of over it, so the tides will work even better

Most Americans are out of money and can't find good jobs. We are clinging to our old TVs and cars and computers and etc. for dear life, as we hope for better days.

And what can you even watch in true 8K right now? Some YouTube videos?

at first I thought this was "out of context comics" but everybody knows the context

now take into account the massive GOP voter fraud

POTUS Donald Trump intends to use America's wars with Iran and Venezuela as justification for cancelling the US midterm elections for Congress. That will prevent the hugely unpopular Republicans, today all Trump Nazis, from losing power.

It shouldn't work; the US has had plenty of wartime elections, and the POTUS should not have that power, anyway. But US law means nothing to today's Republicans or the Nazi, Donald John Trump.

Trump will decree the midterms cancelled; blue states will tell him to fuck off, while red states will agree. Half the country won't even prepare their polling places. The whole mess will go to SCOTUS, and in flagrant disagreement with the US Constitution that they're sworn to uphold, they will side with Trump. The midterms will be cancelled. The 2028 POTUS election will similarly be cancelled. The Republicans will remain in power without the support of the majority of the US population, and Trump will be a full-fledged dictator and POTUS for life, free from prosecution for his numerous crimes.

Trump is the most powerful and successful criminal in US history, and his iron-fisted reign of terror continues because the Biden Administration was too feckless to bring him to justice when they could. If Trump wasn't POTUS, today he would be in jail or house arrest, and barred from further participation in US politics because of his J6 insurrection. But he is POTUS, and he's all too happy to abuse that power to the fullest to remain a free and happy Nazi.

What about Nazis? They're pretty bad. No? Huh. I wonder why.

I was a pro game developer for 19 years, more or less. After my last job ended, I self-published an indie game. To this day, it's not made enough money to trigger a single payout. I failed. So it's fair to take my advice with a grain of salt, if not a whole block. But here's my two cents anyway.

Start by sketching and writing. Think of verbs; games are all about doing things, even if it's just advancing through a conversation. Your protagonist is a cat, so cats run, jump, explore, play. Think of why the protagonist is doing things. Where do the missions come from? And in this case it's hard not to look at Stray. There's almost always something that's come before, even if it's not super high-profile like Stray. Think about what you want to do different.

Art will come from you, if you go it alone and can't or don't want to buy art assets. Blender and GIMP are hard to learn, but free and powerful.

Your engine is almost certainly going to be Unreal, Unity, or Godot. Each has strengths and weaknesses, including the cost of use. You have to factor it all in.

I do think you're right that you'll learn more by making things than doing tutorials, but be aware if you start spinning your wheels on something. You'll benefit from both.

"You know, Perry the Platypus, my patent for the AC-DC-inator paid for this building! Didja know that? Huh? ...no, you knew that, you knew. You're pretty good at your job, Perry the Platypus."

Fragile world-spanning deliveries.

Silksong has me screaming over them, 10 - 20 minutes of walking and one too many smacks at the end ruins it. And then there's the one that's also timed!

But to be fair, most of Silksong gets me yelling at the TV on the regular! I love it and hate it!

Every time I see something kinda like this, I think "Hey, what's on this side?"

The Simpsons is burned into me forever.
