  • adhd ideas are fast, too fast for handwriting. sometimes even typing is barely fast enough

    one day when we invent thought -> text machine neurotypicals will finally be able to see the speed of an adhd brain that “just had a great idea”, and they shall wonder how can our brains be so fast, but seemingly never when they should





  • eh not quite, a paid beta tester is hired to create standardised, and well written bug reports. when someone buys an early access game it’s the same as a game foundriser with a donation tier that gives them access to beta versions, you’re not required (and barely even expected) to provide well written bug reports. quite frankly i think it’d be an infuriating experience if a dev decided to relay on their early access players’ “bug reports” for their beta testing, since most of those are just a screenshot of their game with words “found bug fix please”, what did they do to get that bug? they don’t remember. what’s their specs? they say windows10. what version of game were they running? they say they took the screenshot 10 minutes ago (have they updated the game? maybe, maybe not)


  • it’s a double edged sword really,

    it allows some games to get enough funding to be finished. indi devs can basically start with a strong demo & then work on their project with an actual budget

    and it allows other games to never be finished and still sold, indi devs can start strong, and then give up, and still make passive income out of people who don’t scroll down to reviews to check if people aren’t complaining about the game being abandoned, or in forever-early-acess-hell




  • you cannot know which one is which when you see a person shoplifting

    if you snitch on them, there are two outcomes:

    • whoever organised the crime of stealing baby formula doesn’t get their daily quota from the person they told to do it, and either helps or punishes the person desperate enough to go and do the actual shoplifting for them. You helped a corporation avoid theft

    • a baby goes without food, and an already impoverished parent is financially, legally, or socially punished. You helped a corporation avoid theft

    is it worth it to possibly make a mother cry as her baby goes hungry, to try to help a corporation?
