Hey #gamedev, I REALLY need help. @unity blocked my account because they billed me for Unity Plus, a product that doesn't exist anymore. I thought it was a mistake or fraud so I flagged it with PayPal. Unity locked me out of my account and I can't even update payment details. 🧵

There's 5-figures worth of Unity assets in that account that I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose access to part of my livelihood and creativity because of a mistake. I really need help and I'll do anything to get access to my account back. @unitygames or anyone else?

I really kinda hate that with both Unity and Unreal, often the most effective solutions boil down to "do it yourself, don't use anything the engine provides," because frequently those built-in components don't scale well. It's especially apparent with procedural generation

I fucking hate how the internet has trained everyone to be on their guard and assume intentions. My choices are 1. Write a fucking paragraph no one will read because i_aint_readin_all_that.jpg but at least you made your intentions clear 2. Not write enough and people assume shit

Today I had a recruiter get *actively angry* at me for changing my mind on a job offer process, that sure was an experience.

My wife is pregnant and getting close to the due date, so she's at the phase where she's exhausted all the time. I went into the bedroom to check on her and she's laying in bed bouncing her left boob in her hand. I asked what she's doing and she said "making a milkshake"

How the fuck did I go nearly 15 years of using #Unity and only just find out about FormerlySerializedAs()

My game's codebase uses goto statements, and before the #gamedev tag destroys me for admitting this, I'll show why below. 🧵

In a language like C where you can use goto to jump into completely different functions in completely different units of code, *that* is criminally awful. Jumping out of nested loops, as the language designers document and intend? Completely different. /thread
