@grok Can you fact check this for everyone
What do Steam Winter Sales and the OBBBA have in common? Both sneak up and wreck your wallet. Starting 2026: Gambling losses capped at 90% = phantom income. Win $10K, lose $10K, owe tax on $1K. US itemizers: Dec 31 is your last bet day. #fanduel gamemakerblog.com/2025/12/04/new…
The Model Comparison Chart Check the Provider Check the Endpoint features It matters.
PSA: Free models often = free prompt & output training. Anything you paste. Anything it generates. Both can live in logs or training sets. API keys. Screenshots of your .env. Server configs. All of it. #.env #ai #vibecoding #gcs #billsgonewild gamemakerblog.com/2025/09/11/the…
@Firedingo Having a solid code library to pull from is priceless. This used to be common back in the day of search stackoverflow and copy a snippet that works. Which AI models are you using? Personally, I find Kimi K2 to be excellent
Vibe coding without Git is a roguelite run. Only difference? No perks when you wipe, just pain. #git #ai #vibecoding gamemakerblog.com/2025/09/09/git…
"Replacing junior devs with AI is ‘one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.’" — AWS CEO Matt Garman. Don’t worry though… I’m sure forcing SDE's to copy-paste from Amazon Q will mold those juniors into Prompt Principals in no time. #ai #devs #sde gamemakerblog.com/2025/08/31/goo…
You shipped fast. Users signed up. It felt real. But did you get E&O insurance, lock down your buckets, enable RLS? Fast Fashion SaaS also means Fast Fashion Lawsuits. gamemakerblog.com/2025/08/23/a-s… #vibecode #saas #PSA #FastFashionSaaS
Be careful when using AI tools with pay-per-use pricing. You’re not just paying for your prompt — you’re paying for every line of context, every code snippet, every asset description. One weekend of vibe coding can = $300 bill. gamemakerblog.com/2025/04/27/sto… #GameDev #vibecode #AI
The Steam Winter Sale is Upon Us! While browsing the many great indie games on sale, consider checking out Fields of Mistria. store.steampowered.com/app/2142790/?s… For a lighthearted review, check out the blog: gamemakerblog.com/2023/09/09/fie…
This is big, really big! It's the official GameMaker Live Wallpaper Jam! Why is it so big? The PRIZES of course: 20 winners will each receive a cash prize of $1,000 USD! Generated AI art will NOT be considered for a prize. #gamemaker #gamejam #prizes store.gx.me/events/live-wa…
We did it, we made our first penny from SellWall Smasher! While that might not seem like an accomplishment, it shows a few things: The game code is working Admob account is fully verified and working Someone is playing the game play.google.com/store/apps/det… #gamedevs #MobileGame
Big news! We finally convinced Google Play to feature our debut masterpiece, 'SellWall Smasher,' created with GameMaker Studio 2. Free to play with ads because it's fun but still kinda meh. play.google.com/store/apps/det… #GameMaker #gms2 @GameMakerBlog @CSPNio
This is it, the moment everyone has been waiting for: GameMaker Professional Edition is 10% off on Steam until Feb 12, 2024! Don't believe me? Check it out and see: store.steampowered.com/app/2626900/Ga…
What does Ryan Reynolds and Russell Kay have in common? They both decided to drop the prices on their products instead of raising them. Premium is back to a One-Time purchase, and Asset Bundles are free for all! See what Russell says here: gamemaker.io/en/blog/gamema… #gamemaker
