It look like BF 2024 is only $3 right now? Surely it's gotten better from launch, right? 🫣

If you misplaced your Hugo Award, you should check the lost & found. 😂

There was that one time I was driving in downtown Seattle and spotted some pigeons who had scored themselves a pizza. #drawabird

The Orange Box is what finally got me to sign up for a Steam account.

Like Hobbes the tiger, my problem is that I have no setting between "off" and "high."

I'm not posting my lock screen, partly because it has my email address on it (I'm not that hard to find, but you have to make *some* effort).

My lock screen is also exceeding functional; it's the time & date, my email address, and the Lego Space logo. (Occasionally I swap it out for other things.)

Surely I've got something in my drafts folder.

Today's adventure in #gamedev: I redid my "engagement range" system, which technically only has 3 configurations, but I'm using a 4-quadrant circle because I think it makes more sense intuitively.

My math brain is silently weeping; these are the sacrifices I make for you, the players. 🥲

Problem: players mentioned that they weren't able to easily compare their own status vs. their opponent's status.

Attempted solution: move the status trackers from player boards to the main board, and line them up.

Will it fix the problem? I guess I'll find out when I playtest! #gamedev

Here's the most recent redesign, which I still like a lot, but I'd like to rework the pattern a bit.
