Was itching to make something. Decided to finally open up the PlayDate and see how fast I could get a loop going. Took about 6 hours. Pulp is a nice little tool, took a bit to understand some of the limitations, but definitely great to just dive in with.

The situation in LA makes me incredibly sad. Someone is going to get killed soon, and it would not have been necessary. There are so many other ways we can solve problems - ratcheting up violence and using force isnโ€™t the answer.

Howโ€ฆ? This looks incredible

Sad that my Switch 2 Pre-order didnโ€™t arrive today. I knew I should have just purchased it as a pick up instead of delivery. Should be coming tomorrow though!

Comfy, Cozy, and Full of Life, โ€˜Paliaโ€™ Is a Wonderful Take on the MMO Genre That Welcomes Everybody (Review) 'Palia' has dropped its biggest content update to date, and after diving into the Elderwood on PC and Console, I am in love.

Thank you VICE for the kind words <3 weโ€™re going to keep making the game better and better!

Thereโ€™s a fun game in here but not in its current form.

I find four words that do have a connection. Oh sorry, thatโ€™s not the connection we decided is part of this set.

22.05.2025 04:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If I get a connection and itโ€™s not the greenโ€ฆit makes me feel like Iโ€™m missing something obvious

Every time I play the NYT connections game I think about how unfun it is. It feels designed to make players feel dumb rather than making you feel smart.

22.05.2025 04:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Same - it feels like the whole thing is talking about how everyone is chasing gold to get rich, rather than talking about more systemic forces at play. I donโ€™t know - maybe the article is just trying to talk about observations

A true Palia review?! Thank you for checking the game out Travis!

Finally took the time to progress my Palia account to enjoy Elderwood with everyone else tomorrow. Canโ€™t wait for everyone to get to experience all the new things - and to welcome all the new players!

I donโ€™t know about anyone else, but Iโ€™m definitely ready to replay Oblivion. Hopefully they tweaked the leveling system, because at 100 hours it became impossible

Our marketing team does an awesome job on these captures. I was worried how hard itโ€™d be to get certain gameplay goals communicated, but damn they did it. Thereโ€™s so many details put into this trailer โค๏ธ

Super excited for players to finally get a look at our first major expansion to Palia. Team has been crushing it to bring this together while also shipping new content every month.

Hard to do in a week - but definitely possible in time

Headed to GDC for the first time since pre-COVID. I feel so out of the loop, what cool events are happening that week?

Damn - that line work is impressive. Fantastic tattoo

And donโ€™t get me started on Tetra Master. I lost over 20 โ€œbattleโ€ rounds in a row that had equal chances of succeeding. Other than buying the strategy guide, how would you figure it out

04.02.2025 07:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Early abilities use enemy type damage bonuses. However, unless Iโ€™m mistaken, thereโ€™s no real way to find out enemy types until much later in the game

The tutorial appears almost 2 hours in, and is a conversation that is basically the entire game manual.

One of the first battles in the game introduces darkness side effects. On the surface, disabling melee really forces learning status effects, but at the same time thatโ€™s your default damage option.

Currently replaying FFIX for the first time in like 20 years. This game is so unfriendly, I feel bad if this was someoneโ€™s first entry into Final Fantasy

I certainly get it, if someone is willing to pay for a slightly altered package of random materials, then you do it. But I have a feeling the people paying arenโ€™t doing it out of love or enjoyment on that purchase

Iโ€™m playing more mobile games lately due to less free time, and this is a surprising theme

I wonder if anyone has ever said, โ€œI love that I unlocked new ways to pay moneyโ€ in a game.
