Trees, when given access to computers, are absolutely fearsome opponents in economy-heavy RTS games: Growing resources from what’s available is what they do at the very core of their being

@mdosch@mdosch.de I’ve tried to play games on my phone and iPad but none of the games I’ve ever played on them seem to stick. I’ve had fun — briefly — with Threes and FTL and Really Bad Chess and so forth, but I don’t seem to stick with any one game on my iOS gizmos like I have with, say, FTL-on-Steam, much less TF2 or Dota 2.

Anyone who says that iPads are bad for gaming is an ignoramus and/or a liar. I beat Picross S’s P060 and I wouldn’t have been able to finish it if I hadn’t been able to take pictures of the TV with my iPad to be able to easily back out of hypohetical block arrangements that turned out to be wrong.
all my friends are in agony over the Game of Thrones series end and all I can do to try and understand is remember how utterly confused I was by the nondeominational church at the end of LOST

The thing about FMV is that it’s a lot tougher to make a full FMV game all by yourself than it is to make a VN that way. To make a VN on your own, you just need to be a programmer, musician, author, and visual artist.

A thing I’ve learned: if you’re submitting a game to steam & you’re not sure if it should count as ‘mature content’, err on the side of ‘no’, because if you describe the content & they don’t think it’s mature enough they’ll assume there’s unmentioned/hidden nudity & won’t let you release it
