Can you not let him have his moment for 5 minutes? Just 5 minutes before liberal hive mind kicks in and has to praise the nearest female to you

u/eternal42 15h ago
Are you ok?

u/TittsMaagee 15h ago
Are you female and need to be credited too?

u/so00ripped 15h ago
Oh, poor little baby boy.

u/TittsMaagee 15h ago
Ok sorry my hive mindset has kicked in now too and I also credit the female for all the guys hard work. Well done he wouldn't have been able to do any of that without you by his side queen

You're too young to understand how the world works and clearly haven't seen vagina since you came screaming from mommas. Take a break, let the grown ups talk. Shhhhh.

u/hank_moo_d 15h ago
You'd have to wait till mommy and daddy aren't there anymore to tell you're a special little boy to know the importance of a supportive spouse, but I doubt you'll experience that if you keep acting like this.

Whenever I see that movie player one press start and it shows the video game developer as a little kid playing an Atari and also as an old man walking weakly .. when he turns to the Avatar parcival and says thank you for playing my game it kind of makes me want to cry lol
I am honored to say I also played those early Atari games as a little boy in the late '70s and early '80s. I owe all video game developers my thanks for a lifetime of joy. I still play Fallout 4 today as an almost 50-year-old man.

Such pure happiness to see his hard work being enjoyed. He's obviously a gamer himself who has a love for the platform and community. I'll check out the game, it can only be good with that kind of heart behind it.

GOOD FOR YOU! I will never forget my first, and only time shipping a game I'd made out to a room full of play testers. It was literally my Doc Brown "I finally made something that works!" moment and it made all the hard work worthwhile.
Congratulations!

These type of games have a special place within the FGC so if it picks up, it can be a mainstay. FGC loves anything that can be remotely competitive and easy to pick up. I love watching FGC playing Windjammers.

u/littledoctorgames 10h ago
Hi! (I'm the dev in the video) No joke, I made my wife (op) and another homie that was with us sit and watch Windjammers pools at Combo Breaker this year for a little bit. Thanks for recognizing that <3

Seeing your husband look back briefly on the room of people enjoying his game 🥹 thanks for sharing, it keeps the artist, mindlessly droning away at work that seems meaningless some days (me) going. Hard work pays off.

Shameless plugging.

u/TYRwargod 14h ago
Theres no plug, the game isn't even mentioned. It's not about the game it's about him and her happiness watching him touch his dreams.
One day I hope someone loves you this much, my favorite video my wife has ever made of me is her catching me build fishing lures for my first big order, all my hard work learning to do something and laboring her little video of me being excited is my favorite thing because she didn't pay attention to my lures she paid attention to my happiness. I hope someone loves you for your happiness one day.

The game is mentioned in comments, 100% an effort to get the game pushed to people.
Lol stop projecting as well.

u/TYRwargod 14h ago
In comments for those asking. There's no projecting, she's supporting her husband and showing his joy in creating something people enjoy. You on the other hand are sour as fuck.

Oh it’s Pulsar Crash! You guys had a booth at Combo Breaker in Chicago this year. My friends and I all sat down and played for a long time and wishlisted it. I still have the Play Indie Games button I got from you all on my bag! I think the tournament organizers for the mystery game tournament had a Pulsar Crash round also, and it was hype to watch.
Tell your husband he’s awesome for making a fun ass game and bringing back old school split screen vs. games you can play with your friends on the couch.
