Games and bad art and worldbuilding
I had been looking for a video game on mobile that I could pick up and put down anytime, that was playable in portrait mode, didnt have microtransactions and wasn't hypercasual. Lo and behold Afterplace by @evankice.bsky.social

This guy/gals got style!
I have been a big Helldivers fan since it released. I always loved the juxtaposition of the calm in the fleet and the chaos on the ground.

I have also wanted to design a mini-megagame for a couple of years.

Started from the bottom now we are here. DS3 is my first soulslike and I am loving it at 100-hours! Turns out You can kill dragons by standing at a safe distance and shooting arrows 😅

Trains lend themselves so well to P.T. clones because you are in a repeating set of rooms and there is no clear 'outside'. You are stuck in the void.

Balatro to me feels good because one moment you are barely squeezing through a round and then you see a loophole you can exploit and become god. I fumbled though.

Trying to make a functional prototype of 2048 in 3D. I keep getting stumped as to how I can show the information of the visually overlapping cubes in a digestible way.

The depth of Nakari Speardane's research and the quality and creativity of her ideas is outstanding and inspiring. Happy Birthday!

One day, Trees decided to stop growing. Then the sky folded in on itself and we were hidden from the sun. Those who could, fled somewhere. The trees are grown by force now, by dulling their minds with their Mother Soil. By the light of Sunflies, and by water forced into their roots.

What if someone in the 1700s said, "I would like a slice of that sea in my house" and so we have aquariums today

Placing torches is such an underrated mechanic in games because it adds a whole new dimension to interfacing with the world
