ngl one of the most useful things i’ve internalized from doing art online is never tell people what to criticize. don’t preemptively apologize for things or point out where you think you fumbled, it’s just priming people to notice minor issues that might not actually matter and hit you where you’re sensitive and throw you off your game. don’t tell people your weak points. if it’s a genuine problem they’ll point it out

PSA: if you've ever wanted to play an indie game made with unity, download it before january 1st 2024 or risk losing your chance! (for a list of unity games, i found this. can't say if it's completely comprehensive but it's a start)
if you're a game dev or aspiring game dev, i would check out unreal engine. it's widely documented, pretty easy to jump into, and free until you make over $1 million and then they take 5% above that- so if you made $1,000,001, epic games takes 5 cents. epic is a big corporation so they could pull some bullshit but it's less likely. and they have protection from future bullshittery if you stay with the current or older versions. beyond that, there are a ton of other free game engines out there or engines that are on the cheaper side (game maker for ex, only requires payment on export and is the game engine used for undertale/deltarune). so if you can help it, don't waste your time on unity!
and above all: fuck unity. indie games are so important and don't deserve to be fucked over by corporate greed

woof. seeing someone admit (anonymously, of course) that they've pasted "hundreds of fics" into chatgpt to continue unfinished stories or see a different plot with similar elements is... fucking ouch.
it doesn't matter if you don't publish it or whatever. you're taking someone's hard work and giving it to a blah sort of robot because you want something different or more?
then write a fanfic of the fic, man. daydream a gloriously self-indulgent au in your head and smile to yourself about it. get fucking creative. it's just such a soulless act to hand someone else's blood, sweat, and tears to a chatbot and be like, "spit me out something," damn.
