Man I hope this isn't true, because it would be baffling if they've done this.
There is a very well documented history of people being annoyed about this exact thing happening roughly every 5 to 10 years. We teach it in game design courses as it's such a known issue! 🤦

Lol, what the actual fuck are they thinking? Who plays a Metroid game to have talkative NPC companions?
I play Metroid games to get away from talkative wankers in my real life.

Not gonna lie this latest Upfall review really made my week 🥲
It's true I do care immensely about the vibes, thank you so much for noticing!
We're just *five* reviews away from getting a Very Positive rating on Steam if you want to review a free game too?

Microsoft broke PlayStation controllers on Win 11 in a recently update. This upset me because Upfall does some fun things with them...
Now, however, I'm happy to say that my usual understated neon has been reinstated in an update!

OH! So I wasn't imagining it a few weeks back, Microsoft really did fuck up PS4/5 controllers in an update and Rewired had to update to *checks notes* not use Windows Gaming Input because it was misreporting *checks notes* their main competitors controllers.
Ahmmmmmmmmmmm.
Ahmmmmmmmmmmm.

Just a quick check in with Labour at their Party Conference...
Oh the five biggest petitions ever are all from since they took power
The Digital ID one is already the second biggest and hasn't slowed down. Four of them are from the last few months. Two are calling for an election
Going well then?

Imagine if some people already don't perform right to work checks and they'll just not do this check either? So many groups have already pointed out his laughable it is.
At least they've thought it through and it's not a kneejerk attempt to look less shit at their party conference
Fucking. Lol.

Hey yous. Upfall is just 9 reviews away from changing its Positive rating to Very Positive! If you'd be up for helping us get there that'd be lovely 🫧
It's totally free, has loads of things to unlock, and is good for zoning out to 🫧

I've just finished the final example game for the new C++ course I've been working on and... boy it feels really good to get to a stage where I (and hopefully my students) can make something this silly and janky.
So many concepts covered just to make some little critters move about 😆

I spent today fixing bugs, making puzzles, and getting lost in dreamy pads...
But I'll tell you what: I'm really liking the vibes of this new area in CRT7! It's very different to the rest, but I don't think I mind getting lost here 🎵🔊

I did manage to capture the hour changing here, alongside the very Scottish weather display of "yes all three weathers at once" 🤣
Plus most displays will "time out" and revert back to the clock after around 10 seconds.

Apparently I can't leave well enough alone and I've added a rotary encoder to interact with my Thicc Digit Clock.
Switch between current time (with different colours per hour), temperature in °C, cloud cover percentage, humidity, and a working stopwatch you can start/stop by clicking the encoder!

I've got the basics of the solver working for my new puzzle type, but boy this was a deeper rabbit hole than expected! Hashing pentominos paths, lexicographically minimal string rotation, and other fun things 🤯
Still... yay for mostly working test levels 😍

So... I got thinking that maybe I should add some interactivity/options to my Thicc Digit Clock.
Long story short I bought some rotary encoders with clicky buttons and I distracted myself for a little today with more shiny lights 🤣
