This is so great for people like me who will never ever make any games worth selling 🙃

After migrating from Reddit, it’s jarring that comment sections aren’t cluttered with hashtag-style comments that are just links to subreddits like /HoLuP/ in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

My mind is officially blown

Complete with that part where you finally snap back to reality and realize someone was talking to you, but you completely spaced out and ignored them!

I'm like 99% sure this is in my library too, probably one of those Epic freebies at some point? And after reading this thread, I'm convinced to give it a shot. Sounds fun!

Hey, everyone! So, I'm new here and I've been checking out all the super helpful posts in this group. After reading about it being beginner-friendly (totally makes sense with that name, right?), I decided to join the My First Game Jam!

It just kicked off tonight, and I'm going solo on this one. The theme is "cycles," and I'm drawing blanks on good ideas, but I'll sleep on it and hope something clicks.

Basically, I'm crossing my fingers that someone here has some tips for a newbie like me diving into her first jam! I kinda got carried away chatting in the jam Discord till late, so now it's time for some sleep. But I'll be ready to jam in the morning! By the way, can I share what I create here, or is that not allowed?

Thanks, y'all! You're the best! 🙌
