    omg hackers just leaked the full godot source code! now anybody could make their own game engine by pulling it apart, or add any feature they think is missing! I mean you could slap a new logo on it and call it yours and nobody would stop you

    wonderful news! inspired by the incredible xbox adaptive controller's massive success, Nintendo has approved THIS wonderful #a11y controller!! The HORI. So many fun #gamedev experiments, alt-controller electronics, and accessibility fun to be had! switchgaming.blogspot.com/2020/12/hori-f…
    HORI - an accessible controller for Nintendo Switch, similar to the xbox adaptive controller.
