Self-proclaimed Game Designer s̶̶u̶f̶f̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ thriving from chronic unemployment.

This is where I post all my dumbest game developer takes and rants. Please follow me on Bluesky instead to keep your sanity: cortellhugo.bsky.social

Be warned that I also post extreme political opinions here, such as my support for human rights, democracy, and freedom of expression.

Sometimes, after a bad day, writing a fun email is a good way to unwind.

So, sleep deprived at 3am, I decided to personally mail Gabe Newell to ask him if anything could be done about Steam having to forsake hundreds of devs to please payment processors.

I even said that I'd make a payment processor if he wanted.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe someone should physically take away my keyboard past 1 am.

Another repost from Reddit.

On the topic of modding and how legal it is.

Another Reddit repost. Context: "Young Europeans losing faith in democracy, poll finds".

Democracy isn't set in stone. But the current powers want us to believe it is because they are the only ones who stand to lose from giving more power to the people.

YOU CAN USE UI TOOLKIT WITHOUT STRING LOOKUPS BY JUST STORING A VisualTreeAsset TYPE VARIABLE? WHAT?!?! WHY DOES NO TUTORIAL COVER THIS?
The mind of the tourist is a deep dark hole nobody can understand or peer into

Being told that "rent prices are rising everywhere, so you shouldn't complain about it happening in your town" makes me understand why we shoot agitators during wars.

Jokes aside, it's so fucking grim that people are like "well this issue is happening to us all so instead of fighting back we should accept it as the only way things can be!", have you considered that your complacency is the primary driving force for such a status quo?

Everyone online is upset about Spain openly declining the 5% NATO spending increase being imposed over it (keep note that the US only spends 3.5%).

I'd rather not see a single dime more be spent building bombs when it could go towards much needed healthcare and infrastructure. Even if it means not being a part of NATO.

Case in point.

@HugoCortell I think 90s cartoons gave a lot of people a very different impression of what bull fighting is than what it actually is
