Definitely agree about a midtoned background, thats a must for ipad as well as cinitiq or intuos

But my experience with the nasty plastic texture of my old 10.5” ipad pro screen and 1st gen pencil slipperyness fades as you use it, combo of grunge and natural abrasion (i think)

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

My karate teachers referred to tiger balm in hushed tones in the 90s, when it was not as easy to buy. Now that I’m in my late 40s I need to remember to use when I sleep or sneeze wrong (instead of when I take a kick wrong)

There’s a great podcast called Sold a Story that dissects how this came to be

Ok so I had this on my wishlist already, but i feel like I’m seeing it for the first time

(definitely in alignment with your “post about your indie game more please” sentiment)

I really enjoyed this world, love the density and the weirdness - if you have the luxury to lean into the niche interests (bug-powered vehicles!) please do so, write those stories that no one else can

Oh, just realized I needed to put a hold on the third audiobook!

There’s a hero in that movie?

Yeah I have completed it twice in the last ten years or so, most recently last year, with one of my kids

But at the moment I have other priorities

I’m just hoping that belt isn’t too tight and you start harvesting puffballs inside your car every time it rains

Ok started to write an idea that might be interesting but it could easily be flipped through the torment nexus and weaponized, so I won’t speak it into existence #thistimelineamirite
