Since there's been a big wave of new users (and followers!), I decided it was time to present myself a little bit.
I make a lot of silly games! Many of them are experimental or absurd. I sometimes use unconventional tools to make them (like Google Forms or PowerPoint) and give workshops.

Love the new @play.date update with FOLDERS!!!
This is a game-changer 😭 I always spend so much time looking for the game I wanna play

Why would someone pay $20k for a robot controlled by a human in a remote location to do things more slowly and clumsily when the median wage for a maid or housekeeper is $33k per year, which is typically spread across 10-20 households?

One: "abhorrent”
Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Your video game consoles cost more today than they did last year as a *direct result* of Trump's tarriffs.
There's no debate, there's no opinion - that's the reality. Games cost more for everyone inside and outside of the US now because of Trump.

I'd like to find a name for my rhythm game before I release its alpha on itch. So far, its development name is "Simple Dual Rhythm Game". Very descriptive, not very catchy 😅
I think I'd like to keep Dual in the title, to put forward what it's about?

In Yoshi's Island, a "tongue overflow" glitch exists whereby Yoshi's tongue is able to fly away and begin gaining infinite length, overwriting the game's memory. The tongue-based corruption can have any number of effects, including skipping to the credits and ending the game.

The success of the boycott of Disney over Kimmel is simultaneously encouraging and infuriating, because it shows people could have stood up to this shit at any point before this - in defense of trans people, in defense of black women, in defense of so many others - and simply didn't

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.
Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.
