It's okay! Some tombstones have QR codes carved into them... this will confuse future archeologists for centuries!

Heya April, idk if you're active here, but I'm looking to get in touch with a Scryfaller. Or... a MagicCards.Informant? A Legendary Creature - Human Gamer?

Let me know if you have just a moment to chat!

Functionally the same as Snakes and Ladders: Random progress with shortcuts/fallbacks to create tension.

But game design is about emotional outcomes, not rigid definition, so I'd focus on how their narratives guide their experiences.

CL gives childlike whimsy; S&L provides spiritual introspection.

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos.

It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it.

Please the passionate, not the masses.

Do you like classic arena shooters?
Have you wanted to host a LAN party?* Do you wish Neon White had PvP?

Coming soon to Steam... 👀

*You can play IRL or over Steam lobbies

I've never even played it, but I love that song. It sort of just appeared in my brain one day...

To my understanding, Shovel Knight is a Duck-like game

The "photo" you recently reposted depicting a mouse might be AI, unfortunately :(

The poster attempted to defend it by linking a website; surface level recon shows only artificial mimicry from that domain.

Just doing my due diligence... I hope a genuine field mouse finds you soon!

The lyrics from Boards of Canada's "One Very Important Thought" from their 1996 album Music Has the Right to Children.

[Outro]
Now that the show is over and we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights, we would like to leave you with one very important thought
Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program. If you can be told what you can see or read, then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights - no one else will do it for you
Thank you

It's been creeping up for years, but with Collective Shout and KOSA (again), I've been finding myself thinking of Boards of Canada's "One Very Important Thought" a lot lately.

Make some calls this week.

Defend your constitutionally protected rights. No one else will do it for you.
Thank you.

If an advertisement does enter my periphery, I move away (or close my eyes) and mute it (or say lalalalalalalala) before I can identify the sponsor: escaping unscathed.

My mind must not be encroached! Ok, maybe I'm a bit extra about it. But to me, it's a fun minigame with psychological benefits ;)

You and me both: I have a great aversion to advertising.

Mainly, I don't respect marketing that doesn't respect its audience. And that's most all of it: belittling and/or manipulative. And when it comes to Big Data: invasive.

Therefore I respect myself by avoiding that abuse to begin with.

Does anyone who's been playing the new Donkey Kong game know if there's a remix of "Life in the Mines"?

I beg of them: let us sort favorite GIFs into folders. It's low-hanging fruit!

The volume spikes make this a bit inaccessible but I appreciate the video! Perhaps should include a warning :/

Here's to beating the boss! If only there were some way to punish suits and shareholders for their relentless greed... but this would require a grand systemic upheaval! To be continued...

I recently opened my YT channel and saw a banner prompt reading "Improve your channel with AI!"

So we're just letting Algorithm A feed Algorithm B now?

Tell me again why us humans, our creativity unmatched, choose to participate in these reductive systems?
