    Racism doesn’t change the skin color of the recipient, however.

    Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.

    Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.



  • I’m doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it’s for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that’s made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition. It mostly handles C/C++ types and generating header files for assets.

    Besides Butano, I’m just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there’s not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it’s actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.



  • Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

    I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I’m making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

    I’m making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular - and my favorite - Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

    I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there’s not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

    It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I’ve considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That’s like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I’m in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

    Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

    Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There’s Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn’t be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.
