I did in fact go down

The demo for my brother's #indiegame Valerie is (finally) out on Steam! Obviously gonna be a little biased in recommending this, but if you want a mostly-chill 2d platformer with some fun movement and mechanics then give it a try :~) store.steampowered.com/app/3591070/...

It is out!!! You can play the ✨free✨ demo here 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3568960/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ValerieGame

Following the departure of Doug Bowser, a suspiciously familiar figure is reportedly stepping into the role of President of Nintendo of America. paletteswap.site/dif...

I'm almost ready to release the Steam demo for my #indiegame, Valerie. Here's the trailer! It's a 2D adventure that mixes lively retro-inspired platforming with a personal story. #gamedev #indiedev Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/3568960/... Itchio: jole-says-hi.itch.io/valerie

Cerb pet #7... Starting to doubt the alleged 1/3000 droprate ngl #OSRS

Going full circle... First pet after maxing is a duplicate of the first ever one I got ~10 years back #OSRS

Almost a decade on from maxing in RS3, finally done it in #OSRS as well. But this time I got to keep my untrimmed hp cape :)

Not done an #OSRS update in a bit oops, basically just chipping away at the last few skills for max at this point...

... Anime's kinda neat I guess :) Feels like I've been watching less new stuff recently compared to ~10 years back. And there's more than a few ones that aren't on here of course (How am I supposed to shill Katanagatari smh) Stars for "I will nag you to watch this, probably"

With how good the Switch 2's screen is I'm hoping and praying for Plex(/alternatives) on the thing one day. Some kind of pc remote desktop functionality would be nice as well but uh, I don't have high hopes on that one :')

Gotta wonder why Nintendo decided to use fingerprint magnet plastic on the front of the Switch 2 dock though, especially when the joycons are perfect :')

Few hours in on Mario Kart World and yeah, this game's kinda fun I guess

Update, I'm happy to report that this works! You can send any camera or video feed to the Switch 2 from your pc via a capture card. Also a way to screenshare pc games to your friends over the (crunchy-quality-low-fps) Nintendo call/chat system as well, if you want to do that :) #Vtuber #Switch2

Pretty much as close as it could have been, 30 attempts for the final sigil! Fancy fashionscape armour acquired! (at the cost of like 50-70m in supplies/contracts/death costs but let's just ignore that) #OSRS

Great update. Should be able to have it set up for every vod from here on out, really useful for when I'm uploading them mid-event :) (Obligatory @mugesports.bsky.social shill if you're in the Cambridge-ish area and want a weekly Smash Ultimate/Rivals of Aether tournament)

Finding out that someone made a browser extension to randomly include Kumiko in youtube thumbnails has grealy improved the frontpage browsing expereince these past few days

That's 4/5 sigil pieces from Yama contracts done - ~15 / 1 / 1 / ~40 tries respectively. Gonna have to wait a while to do the last one because 1.5m-2m/attempt is silly. Great challenge, though the one-mistake-and-you-die aspect for bloodied blows was mentally draining - to say the least. #OSRS

For the #OSRS streamers/video makers out there: Check your Scale Filtering setting in OBS - It's subtle but can make things look a bit cleaner for viewers. (Bicubic or Lanczos seem to look best to me but might just be personal preference - Will have an image comparison below as well)

Arrived faster than expected, neat. Got a discount because it was someone else's unused stuff, but realising now that this specific one's a bit thicker than other cables I've used before... Probably not the best choice in hindsight but it'll do :')

If your electrics are getting rewired it's only natural to buy a 300m roll of ethernet cable to add a bunch of ports around the house too... Right?

200kc in at Yama now, something like 50/50 split between solo/duo - Still fun! (Getting a not-pet drop in my name would be kinda nice though...)

Came here for the release-week profits, left with a pet. We take those I guess? #OSRS

Rogue One rewatch after the Andor finale was kinda mandatory, can appreciate just how good both of those are way more now.

15 kills in at Yama so far so can't say much about the drops, but mechanics-wise this is a certified Good And Fun Boss™ ... The hardest part's gonna be finding a consistent duo though :') #OSRS

I ain't really one for "The Algorithm™ is in my walls" conspiracy theories... But seeing this on The Bad Site's timeline right as I'm finally getting around to watching Breaking Bad has gotta be the most out of pocket targeted post I've seen in a while lmao

Since the Switch 2 supports 3rd party webcams I'm pretty sure you'll be able to use a cheap capture card as a "webcam" - with OBS outputting to it (main use case I can think of is vtubers, of course) Used a Steam Deck here but in theory works on the Switch 2 - Detailed instructions in alt text!

Yeah, I say that a lot honestly

So the only place I could find to preorder a Switch 2 from in the end was Amazon France, but no clue if the delivery's gonna come on release day 🙃 One month to go though, so decent odds of finding at least one place with stock somewhere in the entire country... Right?

Having Kagaribi to watch on the side was a good excuse to just finish this one off over the weekend, 99 hunter (and the final of the Skills I Hate™) done! Only 5 to go until max... #OSRS

I'm still not 100% sure if I *need* a Switch 2 on release - Just got this nagging feeling that it'll either be a nightmare to get and/or have some absurd price increase afterwards at this point. Probably just the FOMO speaking (but Mario Kart looks cool I guess)

Managed to get this one after all - Quetzin acquired just before 98 hunter/551 rumours complete. #OSRS

So, who's hosting the Teamspeak servers?

A Real Easter Egg for comparison, shoutout to Terry's for actually doing it right (even if this is the only way to get their white chocolate now I think...?)

"Deceptive easter egg shrinkflation" is another one that wasn't on the bingo, once a year and they can't even keep it the same size lmao

2 to go for Hunter! #OSRS

Put more than a few hours into this during alpha test stuff, fun game. Gotta convince a few friends to pick it up before I do as well though... 😅

Big fan of the changes for this version, more bubble mechanic shenanigans is a plus! (I'm not definitely not addicted to speedrunning this level, it's all for playtesting and feedback purposes... Probably.) #indiegame

BotW spoilers (if you haven't beat it yet...?) Forgot to post it on the day, but at the Switch 2 event's BotW demo one of the savefiles is right at the Hyrule Castle gate, so naturally I rushed straight to the final boss... 5 minute limit on the demo though so I didn't even get to complete it :')

Here for the day to help show off @jole-says-hi.bsky.social's game! Should be a fun one :~)

0.3.5 is now out! I made a blog post talking about it, please take a look. jole-says-hi.itch.io/valerie/devl... #gamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Overall summary: It's a Switch but bigger and better. Joycons/handheld feel great to use Screen's amazing. Mouse controls feel very good in Metroid 60fps Zelda good GameCube controller with all the modern buttons good ... Still not seeing myself paying $10 for the console tutorial game

Now we wait (to be let in because I showed up like 30 mins early oops)

Time to go see what all the Switch 2 hype is about... Between the Direct/Treehouse/News/YouTubers I kinda feel like all the essential info's out there already, so the only thing left is trying one in person :~)

Tiny bit overdue but a welcome change honestly, posts having a reasonable length is one of the most important parts of any modern social media platform imo. It's basically impossible to have a reasonable and well thought out discussion when trying to explain your point properly gets cut off halfwa

I've currently got 5 ratings and all of them are 5 stars... It would be nice if some more people played it :) jole-says-hi.itch.io/valerie #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Time to shill my brother's game again! Some *slight* momentum changes in this update, especially once you get into the challenge mode stuff.

29 today, yay(?)

95 Hunter yay. This one's gone by so much faster than agility/rc that I straight up forgot about posting levels, thank you whoever decided to make contracts a thing... #OSRS

"Error found 1% of the way through a memory test" has gotta be up there on the Not Great scale? Luckily got some extra hardware laying around to help troubleshoot things, really don't want to be buying replacements right now...
