Back to replaying old, non-100%, games... gotten AGC from 99.26% to 99.35%. But getting really hard and frustrating to find anything I want to spend the time on to earn. Bone has been picked very clean. 40 games not 100%'d: 8 under 80% 13 in 80-90% 19 at 90%+

Initial responses to the Sushi Cat Legacy Collection are completely positive. 100%. Nothing but good things! Pretty crazy! It would be great if this stayed true at 50 reviews (and beyond).

I'm too old to learn how to use genAI, even if I wanted to. Which I do not. Easy wins for the old guy. Also. All the people I respect hate it, and the people I do not respect love it. Says something. Also also. Everything about it seems icky. How it learns, what it's used for, what it represents.

After nearly 10 years, I finally rolled credits on Sentry Knight Tactics... and with that, I have now beaten every single game I've started on Steam. All 1132 of them. Steam AGC up to 99.31%.

Sushi Cat is back, y'all! store.steampowered.com/app/3620940/... Every Sushi Cat game ever (yes, even that one) in one place! Just released.

Your occassional reminder, game devs... controller vibrate is a privilege, NOT a right. Use it appropriately. Or else.

Heaven's Vault walked so that Chants of Senaar could run.

Hey #indiedev if you have a demo, can export to WebGL, feel free to email us! We can get you 10,000+ eyeballs and help build wishlists and sales. For free. mygame [at] armorgames ^dot^ com Picture is from a game that launched yesterday, and had its demo on Armor recently.

The emails keep finding me. No matter how much I hide, they keep finding me. Stupid stalker emails.

I highly recommend getting hyperfixated on something and then have money magically fall into your pockets from that fixation. People be like, "How did you get into the games industry?" and it's like, "Ma'am, I am an addict and for some reason they pay me for it." 🤷‍♂️

Got a DXA Scan for the first time since 2018... and it confirms what I can visually see. Down 8lb of fat, up 4lb of muscle. Diet is working.

It is incredibly fascinating to read applications for a job that zero applicants have had practical experience for.

10th Halloween in my house... 0 trick or treaters. Bliss.

Want to work with me? I'm hiring someone to take over game onboarding for the Armor Games website. Biggest qualification is being passionate for tiny indie games! Please share. remotegamejobs.com/jobs/armor-g...

Know what I love in my games? 8 endings, with no easy way to get them besides replaying most/all of the entire game 1 by 1. Especially if there is effectively no difference in gameplay. Truly my favorite way to spend my time.

Watching "The Remarkable Life of Ibelin" makes me really miss Asheron's Call and that time in my life and those friends I had. Hope everyone from Thistledown is doing well, these 23 years later since I logged out for the final time.

Vampire Survivors, Brotato, and Halls of Torment all releasing new content on the same day is a hell of a feast.

One of my biggest pet peeves from games is minimizing upon clicking outside of the game. I literally NEVER want this to happen... I'm begging devs to stop doing this. I have 3 monitors, I play games and work at the same time (sometimes)... I am constantly clicking on other things while playing.

Case in point

Dear China... please stop making so many FMVs. This has been a plea from a person who compulsively has to keep playing them, but really wants to play other games/genres as well.

Our gym is raising money for ALS, and every $1 donated equals 1 burpee from a coach. My fave coach made it clear he did not want to do burpees… so I donated $250 for him. Malicious philanthropy.

Holy moly... there are 27 games listed for release on Thursday (the 23rd) on Steam's popular upcoming. Including: Tormented Souls 2, PowerWash Sim 2, Jackbox 11, Once Upon a Katamari, Plants v Zombies remake, AVGN 8-bit, and 3 online MP horror games. Only 18 releasing on the 22nd... damn.

Underrated value of a publisher: taking the bullshit off a developer's plate. Don't want to find contractors? Or deal with cold outreach from localizers or influencers? Or set up beta tests? Etc. This is what a publisher should be doing for you! Give us the boring stuff so you can MAKE YOUR GAME.

Cannot consistently reproduce crash

Tass Tip #4 for #indiedev achievement design: Make sure to pace your rewards out somewhat evenly. Try not to front and/or back load ‘em. Mid-game needs love, too. Designing for mid-game is harder. Be aware of it.

Productive day of gaming... started+finished 3 games and finished 3 other games. So far.

Saw Dr Fauci speak. During the Q&A, he was asked about the public health response to Covid from government leadership. He described it as “not optimal.” Understatement of the year.

I adulted so hard this morning... scheduled 2 doctor's appointments, a haircut, and renewed my parking permit.

Meet some local devs. Play their 6 year old game. Find multiple locks. Can't I ever just enjoy? When will I be free of the QA chains?

Also Blippo+ and The House of Tesla, both of which just released today on Steam.

Some new games y'all should check out: - Dead Reset - The Trolley Solution - Little Problems - Rise of Golden Idol 4th DLC - Henry Halfhead - Keep Digging All released this month!

REAL GAMERS GET SPEEDRUN ACHIEVEMENTS ON THEIR CASUAL PLAY. LETS GO!

Passed 500 received awards on Steam. Pretty neat. Mostly on the 50+ guides I've written, but also various reviews, comments, news posts, or my profile.

What a win, baby! 🦅 🦅

KC BBQ #3 @ Q39. Overall, disappointed in KC’s BBQ game. They talk big, have the rep, but I’ve been mostly disappointed across 3 joints. Sausage has been the big winner, brisket the big loser.

KC BBQ #2 at Jack Stack. Pulled pork baked potato.

Sure hope this is spelled as one word @latimes.com and not two!

No diet this weekend… let’s go Birds! Other half already in my belly.

#23. Horrible first game, fantastic adjustment to then throw 19 strikes in a row. 167-300-268 for the night.

Since Aug 1, I have started 11 newly released games... and FOUR of them have launched with broken achievements. Devs: give a free key to an achievement hunter a week before release. They will 100% your game and do free QA and find these problems. DM me and I can recommend folks.

Never ends... soon as Lawn Mowing Sim DLC releases and I re-100% it... Lil Gator Game adds a bunch of new achievements for its upcoming DLC. Can't ever get caught up.

I'm just trying to buy the new Lawn Mowing Sim DLC.

Sorry. Can't help but find it hilarious that Steam, Switch, and Xbox are all being overloaded to failure right now... and nobody can buy The Game.

i've never had to stuff myself as much as i'm doing on this diet.

I'm sorry @phillies.com I stopped listening to the game last night when it was 3-0. I take responsibility for that L; won't happen again.

Tass Tip #3 for #indiedev achievement design: Do not create multiple achievements that will ALWAYS award at the same time. Such as "beat the final level" and "beat the game" This seems self-explanatory to me, but I regularly see stuff like this in games... and, why? Make each achievement rewarding

Someone on Discord asked about the QA Team for Deep Sleep, to which I replied: Ivan is the QA Team... much in the way Fezzik is the Brute Squad.

Not me, frantically swapping between Steam reviews, Steam discussions, Steam revenue dashboard, and multiple Discord servers to stay on top of a launch. Overall, we've got 1 pesky bug to deal with... but damn smooth otherwise. Check out store.steampowered.com/app/1868360/...

Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken IS OUT!

Thank goodness they didn't shadowdrop.
