since people seem curious about it, this new Jumper game is one of 4 prototypes that @noelfb.bsky.social & I are developing, borne from wanting to get back to absolute basics and make something small and fun to make :) i'm not committing to finishing it yet, but I think it has a lot of potential!

Last night I played a heavy, multi-hour, systems-y boardgame for the first time since having kids and it was a lot of fun. I'm so excited to get back into the hobby :) we played Arcs and it is very interesting & dynamic!

my debug play stats panel for Jumper so far- lets me see (in order) the player's state, current velocity, velocity boost to be applied by currently-ridden platform(s), and height reached above the ground last time they left the ground

I become so attached to these numbers as I slowly finetune a platformer player class. This one has a lot of them because I tried to cram as many types of jumps into one moveset as I could

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Finished Prime 4 today. Took me about 12 hours. And I had SO many thoughts on it, I had to write over 5000 words on it.

Metroid is very, very important to me, and I was so sadly disappointed in Prime 4. I think I'll be sad for ages.

Here's a link to my review:

NEW VIDEO: Big business is a death cult worshipping a many-faced Techno God. In an industry full of takers who want to eradicate the makers, so-called AI promises a nonsensical fantasy where games are made for free and sold to a world of laid off former workers. It is unhinged.
