askvisa@visa.com

they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

Today on "left handed words I didn't know were real words before HyperTyper"

"gewgaw"
noun
A showy trifle, bauble, trinket (Merriam-Webster)

According to Google Ngram, this word was at it's most popular around 1808 and hasn't really made a comeback. It does kind of sound like baby babble after all

Today on "left handed words I didn't know were real words before HyperTyper"

"texas"
noun
U.S. Nautical
"A deckhouse on a texas deck for the accommodation of officers."

It's not just a proper noun, it's also the top deck of an inland or western river steamer. The more you know!

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

🚨It’s time to take action for transit!🚨

There’s a hearing for the Metropolitan Mobility Authority Act this week, and we need you to take 2 actions:

1) Fill out witness slips for the hearing (instructions in the video)
2) Send an email to your rep to let them know you want them to support the MMA!

Toadstool is a great word, I just like that we've collectively agreed that mushrooms look like a great place for a lil guy to sit

Had a great time writing about games! I wanna do this more

If you need some more hmu I might be able to help

People had been talking about it favorably of course but I was still pleasantly surprised by the Wicked movie.

That said we definitely did not need *that* many dramatic pauses

Why should tools be opaque by design? Why should certain forms of art be gatekept by a certain form of logic system?

If we didn't have these types of tools then we wouldn't have some great games like To The Moon or Omori or OneShot.

The ability to make bad art is necessary to make good art

OOB FUN FACT 31:

The battle theme plays around with the Dies Irie motif, which is a musical shorthand for death! You can hear it most prominently in the bass line.

I wish I could claim the idea for this one, this is all @binaryclone.bsky.social

OOB FUN FACT 30:

I’d be REMISS to not mention the wonderful work done by my contributors that bring the game all together!

Most Music and SFX were done by my friend and fellow dev @binaryclone.bsky.social! Kyle does some great stuff, including the song in the trailer!

Have you restarted steam on your machine? I've found my client often doesn't see the chances I make through Steamworks until I fully exit Steam and restart. Once I did that I saw the betas tab in the game's Properties

I have no idea what's going on with the merge branch thing though

If you're trying to set up a steam playtest, though, that's another can of worms. not a lot of resources since that service only started up this year. I'm using it now but honestly it was a very confusing process

At the top of this page it shows available app branches, which might just be the default branch, and under that list is a "Create new app branch" button which will prompt you for a password.

Then you upload a build as normal and then in your build list set that build's active branch you just made

Steamworks admin panel in general is confusing but I just set up a beta branch! In your App Data Admin page you go to the SteamPipe dropdown and select Builds. (1/2)

Bankruptcy judge rejects The Onion’s bid to buy Alex Jones’ Infowars The ruling dashed, at least for now, the plans of The Onion’s parent company to take over Infowars and radically shift its content.

It's genuinely fucked up to me that if the people owed punitive monetary recompense specifically say "In These Specific Circumstances We Would Gladly Take A Lower Amount Of Punitive Monetary Recompense; That Feels Like Justice To Us," a judge can step in and say "Nah, no deal." Fuck this ruling.

i prefer microgames instead, e.g., press XBBAB as fast as possible, randomized each time. More skilled, more interactive, clearer feedback for player on how difficult the success condition is. Biggest issue is when you're doing it enough that the player gets annoyed they have to keep doing it imo

In my opinion, zero. Personally I think mashing is an almost universally bad mechanic. When was the last time a game made your mash a button and you thought "wow this bit in particular is cool and fun"? It can sometimes connect you to the strain/exertion of protag, but usually it's gaming busywork

As Amnesty International states, "genocidal intent is the only reasonable conclusion" regarding Israel's actions in Palestine.

This did not begin on Oct 7, this has been going on for decades and decades

If my cat *didn't* know it was her in the mirror, she would be pissed that another cat was in her home
