Full release: 2026.

That 100%.

Telling me that I'll stay in the past is the definition of threatening me with a good time.

"But nobody uses Mastodon"

Enough people use Mastodon that you can have cool interactions, but not enough to satisfy those who make their entire existence around farming eNgAgeMeNt and complain about the lack of likes/follows in every other post.

That's a win-win in my book.

11pm, sneaking through the house, looking for food while Roaming The Wastes plays in my head.

They suit my Dreadnaught really well. Although I'm tempted to visit other Dissonant planets and get more varieties. I like mine, but I know there are prettier ones. But I'm spoiled for choice: I got my base in an Outlaw system (Solar) with Dissonant (Sentinel) planet AND I just saw an Exotic.

That's No Man's Sky. Sorry. Should have added that.

My other ship is... also a Sentinel Ship. Of the same type.

It's weird cause I legitimately have intrusive thoughts that go like "This game is gonna suck. Delete it."

8Bit @memoriesin8bit.bsky.social · 1d

YES I AM PANICKING! And not just cause these were some really great suggestion I have no idea how to realize with my skills and resources, but also cause I am afraid if I add more to the altar of the great almighty TODO, I feel my motivation is gonna snap and break. It's creaking already.

The playtest of Saturday Morning Marble Game was a great success. Players have been so kind and helpful with amazing feedback. 60% was reassuring cause it was things I knew I needed. 20% were a 'hmm maybe' and the other 20% were OH GOD I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THIS WHY AM I EVEN A GAME DEVELOPER?

Yes I got the hair facing the wrong way in the sketch due to shenanigans with the mirror function and forgetting which way I started her off

Some TRON stuff from many years back, for no reason at all.

I was just walking around, mining materials in No Man's Sky while I accidentally hit an animal with the mining beam. The immediate reaction was it kicking me into orbit. And folks wonder why I compare it to a Bethesda game.

Me: I need one of those spacer tools to open cases of devices that are clipped together.
Also me: *puts a whole ass ifixit kit into shopping cart*

(in my defense: my skrewdriver kit was like 5 bucks and it shows)

That's a good way of saying that they didn't want to compete with Mario Kart World. And I think it's smart. I think folks are slowly ramping down on World now. :)

Considering how long I tried this, reading that I'm not alone here makes me actually really happy. Thank you!

I really do wonder if the FPS are a problem. The PAL version sometimes... really lags.

Did you ever figure out a strategy? If you ever do, please remember me.

8Bit @memoriesin8bit.bsky.social · 3d

Just wanted to take a cool flyby shot of my new Dreadnaught, but it's kinda impossible due to its size. This thing is so large it would make a WH40k Marine hard as a rock.

8Bit @memoriesin8bit.bsky.social · 3d

I have seized a Dreadnaught!

Indeed, game. I am.

I said before The Expanse is like a series of Pen & Paper RPG campaigns.

Now that I am getting near the end of PERSEPOLIS RISING, I realize it's the DM going "I got one more big campaign and this time you won't be getting away with your typical BS. And no saving throws."

8Bit @memoriesin8bit.bsky.social · 4d

Kinda beating myself up over this a bit cause I think "if my code needed so much rework, it wasn't very flexible. Which means it was bad."
But realistically I know it was less about flexible code and more about swapping a foundation.
