kinda of topic but ok I guess? i mean you gotta explain where you’ve been somehow. maybe I should tell Danny to do this with our gamejolt games if the mods say ok, and also just to show off some of our other stuff. the games you linked are blocked for me though. darn those parental controls am I right?

I wanted to share this somewhere, but I dont think its big enough for its own topic, but I’m writing a book with @Astro! Here’s the first little bit:

> LTT (Linck Telecom and Technology) Industries oversees the work of Leadium, Quartzite Sciences, and Starlight Production. LTT also takes a percent of all workers’ pay, so if a worker made $10, LTT Industries would take 90% ($9), but if you made $10,000, LTT would take 10% ($1,000). The one exception from this is how much you contributed. If you made $10,000 but helped the company make 100,000, LTT would only take 50% ($500). In other news, LTT Industries has had its eyes on Cannon, the company that makes most of the food we have left on earth. LTT will also have to cancel all paid vacation time and maternity leave to pay for various workplace improvements, such as a better bathroom or a gym to spend your 20 minute lunch break. LLT Industries has also had a recent strike of its workers back in 2031, so if you do that again, LLT will take more from you than ever before.

The return block can be put in a function to make it “return” to the original code before completing the function.
For example, you could have a function that loops many times trying to find 1 thing. When it finds the thing, there is no need to keep searching, so you can just end the function there and save some time (or processing power).
When you press the + button on it, it makes it return a value, allowing you to use it as a variable (oval / pill shape block).
This allows you to make things like:
Set sprite data as Boolean on sprite (call: find that one guy) data (“cool”) to true.

the forum isn’t necessarily dying, it just has changed a lot. And i’ve been following the forums for a while, since maybe 2023.

i agree. sure there’s some problems, but nothing really that bad. is that why all the older users are leaving/retiring? because of the changes?

not like new ui or issues with the forum itself, there were just too many topics being created about off topic material that many users did not like.

Some are leaving because of the changes but mostly because they don’t have time with school and other things.
Also they might want to move on to more advanced game engines like GameMaker.
About this topic of random stuff on the forum I’d say that I’m in the middle, I go on the memes topic and everything like that but I usually don’t say anything… (Anymore)
There’s also one more thing…
@CodePerson I read your summary and… That’s why I made this post, if you want a good game on the forum the Heist Jam is ending soon and you’ll be able to all the cool games that… _Weren’t made because all the older users don’t have time to make games._ You’ll be able to play my game.
(I definitely made a mistake somewhere in this post…)

Its said that he is leaving and I kinda agree that the forum is dying. I honestly notice I’m kinda using the forums less and less. (I would write a longer message but I’m currently in school and my next class starts in literally less than 5 minutes)

Respect to you for giving your full honest opinion on the forums right now. A lot of people just sugarcoat their opinions or straight up ignore the whole forums dying situation when they are leaving.

Jamiroquai fun fact of the day: The tours always keep songs from previous albums. With Return of the Space Cowboy’s tour at Glastonbury Music Festival 1995, Emergency on Planet Earth and Too Young to Die were in the roster of songs. With Traveling Without Moving at the Royal Albert Hall in 1996, Hooked Up, Emergency on Planet Earth, Space Cowboy and Journey to Arnhemland were in the roster of songs. I’m not sure about the tours for Synkronized and the rest, but I have a good feeling that Space Cowboy and Virtual Insanity stayed in them.
