First pottery class done! Never done this before but I really enjoyed it and my instructor was impressed by my first attempts. I picked it up pretty quickly and made what I wanted (a yunomi 湯のみ) after my third attempt. It was then cut in half to better understand the process 😅

Could I DM you to ask to check out this certain game page? I don’t want to say it out loud here.

Do you mean the Feedback tab? Can’t see anything for support at the bottom of the list. The problem is, I can’t access the individual game page. When I click on the game, it opens up a blank white page that doesn’t load. Not sure if it’s a technical issue or the dev hasn’t set it up right.

Oh to experience Scavengers Reign for the first time.

Hey @moomanibe.bsky.social, what's the protocol for this?

Trying to do the good thing in helping a dev fix their IGF submission page, but it's nigh on impossible when there's no point of contact!

Feel free to DM me so I can explain thing better. It's a possibility you might know what I'm talking about.

Hey there! I've been trying to get in contact with the devs on here, but it looks like they haven't posted in a while. Any chance you could have them get in contact with me? It's regarding an event they recently submitted a build too. Sorry for the cryptic nature. I can't really say it out loud. 😬

"Fffffffffffffffffffffffffuuhhh! OH COME ONNNNNNN! Whutthfthfhtfth!!?"

This is how every dispute should be settled.

Pretty sure this is what the Louvre robbers got away with.

Common Side Effects was great, but nothing comes close to what Scavengers Reign accomplished.

But yeah, there’s a reason for “bar code”

One of my favorite memories of going to Tokyo Game Show, was seeing a student video game project where you had to use a bar code scanner to “scan” the combovers of these salary men styrofoam busts with woolen hair, kinda like whack-a-mole.

@doublefine.com Okay, hear me out on something.

One of these, but with a floppy lighthouse on top. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Maybe also "date within your age range"

The latest game to do that isn’t doing particularly well for this very reason.

All it’s doing is driving me towards the far more competent game the original studio is now making.

That would imply serious forward thinking on MS’s part.

Huh! I legitimately didn’t know this about the account.

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.
