  You mean CE doesnt stand for “clear everything”? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.

  There’s a sort of… Sheen, to a lot AI images. Obviously you can prompt this away if you know what you’re doing, but its developing a bit of a look to my eye when people don’t do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a symbol of wealth. They want you to know the brand because it tells others they have the means to afford it.

  I totally agree with you, though. It’s tacky.

  You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.

  I haven’t owned a Nintendo console for many years now because I kept waiting for the cost to go down (it never has).

  It doesn’t, but it does have a pig-based sliding puzzle. 🐖 i posted the demo on the comment you replied to if you’re curious.

  Thanks for the interest! I only have a short demo and trailer up so far but would love to hear what you think. 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m making one so i guess i can’t say they suck. I do feel like a lot of them aren’t great games, though. As in, they create a good vibe but they often lack solid gameplay. I think the writing in some I’ve played leans far too much into awkward and insecure characterizations too, and that gets tiring for me quickly. I’m trying to avoid those pitfalls in mine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wandersong, a game about not doing harm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You might already know about this, but she recently released a 3d remake of Adventure, sometimes considered the first adventure game ever. The remake is called Colossal Cave. I bring it up because the Game Grumps played some of it while Roberta talked with them on air! It’s not a documentary, but there are tons of interesting things she talks about throughout. Look it up on YouTube if you’re interested. 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pixel Tap, another popular tap game, outright prevents you from progressing past level three unless you invite at least one friend - and by the time the airdrop rolled around, level three wasn’t enough to be eligible for any tokens. But for every friend you did invite, you got 5% of the in-game currency they earned, and 1% of anything players they invited made, essentially creating something indicative of a virtual pyramid scheme, or MLM (multi-level marketing), that eventually paid out crypto tokens to those at the top. The Pixel Tap crypto reached a high of $0.0977 shortly after it launched, but at time of writing is now worth $0.006405, less than a tenth of that peak.

  Virtual pyramid schemes for monopoly money, lovely.
