friends that eat chipotle together are marriage candidates? sorry, yeah, not sure what to make of this one. that's an... interesting prompt ^_^

... `prompt` is another word that's gonna be poisoned from now on, isn't it...

driving home

ohh, i like that. i've been searching for ways to represent --to ~me~ as well-- the plurality of my system, that's a direction i hadn't thought about ^_^

wait... the dice in my picture. there... there's something in that...

huh. yeah. yeaah. that's a good point. archeology. left-overs from previous runs through a space. controlled randomness generation mixed-in with player supplied entropy...

i feel like years of Roguelike Celebration are have started percolating through my workings.

yeah, as that thread that was looking for monstrous women in media the yesterday was struggling to find as well... yeah.

^_^ lovely

and i'm stuck in the residue/layering/sedimentary metaphorical space my mind wants to go places with it, but not yet mind, not yet.

oh, yeah. and you can even play with those traces out of the play area and turn them into visual effects, color decay/transform as frames pass, incoming entities depositing colour residue as they move...

at this moment, my *reaction* is "yeah, the economy burning would be best, actually." but knowing that the way it will burn will hurt the people that already can barely make ends meet hurts a lot-lot.

yeah, i agree completely, particularly that *every* gamedev choice is a tradeoff.

but... i can never agree that jumping words is a worthy tradeoff compared to actually doing nothing. i cut that from my prototypes when i couldn't find a way around. it's a personal pain and i will stop now. sorry ^_^

yeah, i don't blame them for doing it wrong while in development, learning, or in jam games. but i *do* blame them for shipping, commercially, like that. it makes me drop games, it hits so hard ^_^

i mean, it's way better UX the text showing up all at once, than this `oops, it doesn't fit` move ^_^

yeah. i would actually tie Rogue One for the first spot, but, yeah.

i want to say Princess Mononoke but i feel like that's stretching both `fall in love` and `monster`...

i think anime has some where they are both monstrous but the man is the gentler one. but, yeah. failing to bring anything to mind where the distinction is as clear as the woman-loves-monster trope

ok, just started listening to it. weirdly, it is evoking wild-west-macross-crossover with that first song, but. yeah. this screams 80s alright.
