in low fidelity, things like a textured cube, a pixelated icon or a half empty environment can mean multiple things to different people

i cant bare looking at my game in greybox + temp animations

feels like looking at some half-formed draft of life grasping for air

like the eraserhead baby

it was so much easier with retro graphics. in those I was always working with finished assets

yessssss

and I remembered where I got the NSTW UI aesthetic from

recession indicator

just realized nobody called me out on this

The meme has a bunch of gay icons and says transgender day (more like gay) of doing a fucking backflip
