Inspired by this view earlier today:

When I grew up in the 80s, I always thought that's what it would be like for racism, sexism or religiosity... That it would all pass by the time I'd grow up...

I had a weird #gamejam idea: Surfer Farm. Top-down pixel view of beach-side waves where you "farm" surfers by influencing waves, rocks and other beach features, causing more or fewer surfers to sit on their boards waiting for waves. The surfers are the "crop", and it's a cozy farming game.

In me here are two ADHD wolves at war.
One says:
"You wasted all day, and now you have to do a day's worth of work in half an hour!"
The other says:
"You only have half an hour left anyway. Might as well play a quick game round!"

Joining this wonderful team to bring some of my SudokuPad UX experience to more puzzles!

Sweet puzzle! sudokupad.app/xtw55mihd1

The last two nights I woke up with words in my mind:
Night 1: "Pump up the jam, I like the way I am"
Night 2: "Isomer-rendered cyclene engine"
What is wrong with me?

Sometimes ADHD is trying to fall asleep and barely managing to stay awake at the same time.

Here I am, just building my little blueprints, when I realised that apparently my activities BORE MY FACTORY! IT'S YAWNING!

Need to change the footer too, something like: "SudokuPad created by Sven Neumann, puzzles by their respective authors"

Thinking of putting up a popup and give the promo space for free to community members for their puzzles.

Hah! I do this challenge every two days!

So what does one do when the WSJ slaps your game app on their website without so much as an email or message?

The problem is that my rabid sudoku community cries "cheats" for basic UX and QoL features, lol!

Go to bed at 23:00... Sleep for 5 hours and get up at 9:00. A good night by my standards...

TBH, I recently realised that the comical incompetence in TV that bothered me so much wasn't caricature, but realism... :(

Thanks so much! Will try it out on stream today, let's see if it'll get struck! Pls let me know if the credit line is sufficient. (PS: It's a tiny stream with not too many viewers)

Can I ask "font people" to recommend a font for sudoku?

Are you ElectroBear on YT?

Thanks, added a tip. Will try, as I'd love a break from my current play list, lol! YouTube.com/svencodes

Can I use them as background music while streaming (programming), without getting copyright struck?

16-bit aesthetics feel so strange to me as I programmed hard in asm in the 90s in 8-bit styles, then skipped to the 2010s, and never really experienced that era!

Just checking that "💧/s" means "dripping with sarcasm"...

It's confidently and repeatedly wrong without consequence. So it's a perfect fit!

Gathering 4 Gardner G4G stimulates curiosity and the playful exchange of ideas and critical thinking in recreational math, magic, science, literature, and puzzles to preserve the legacy of writer and polymath Martin G…

@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social have you ever been involved with www.gathering4gardner.org ? It seems like a great place to rummage about TTRPG. Trying to figure out what I might be able to say about maths & gaming!

At some intervals I completely forget that my dog is a dog and am, quite roughly, shocked back to that reality by suddenly realizing his nose is REALLY long for a person, or that he has dense hair, like EVERYWHERE! Or that his toenails are curved and thicker than my own!

It's really quite jarring.

A metroidvania... Makes sense!

Came across this at the park and can't figure out the button prompt to activate...

@realcarykh.bsky.social You latest sudoku video reminded me of some VFX I had experimented with in the early days of SudokuPad. Let me know if you ever want to collab and put something funky into SudokuPad!

(Holy-moly is it hard to post GIFs anywhere these days!)

Real talk:
How do you transition an app/game/tool from version 0.592.1 to 1.0?

It's used by 40,000+ users daily, and has been in live operation for 5+ years...
