I’ve played a bunch of this and it is VERY good, and the best fit for mobile that I’ve played in a while

I will be at GDC.

This hit so fucking hard today.

I've had a few false starts but whoooo can I pay to build me a new, simple but beautiful personal website? One that I can easily update myself after. (Something in the ballpark of @joonturbo.bsky.social's beautiful joon.be, maybe with a few more visuals...)

Ordered this on the recommendation of @secretlivesofgames.bsky.social and @nsuttner.bsky.social - the whole show was gushing about this game for 20 mins or so. The backstory is amazing too. www.itsnicethat.com/articles/ang...

The cursed sorcerer

We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.
