We've got idea-guys...

... WHO DON'T EVEN HAVE IDEAS!?

Gah. Had to lock in deck, annoyingly. But fortunately, surprisingly, hit a _decent_ amount of it. Possibly too many words. Sadly, didn't end up with any of my illustrations.

The timing notes from rehearsal is a great hint - I'm going to try to get those in the live rehearsal tomorrow.

"meaning to... but still haven't managed to do it" is the story of my life.

But you're right there - particularly first-time nerves. Done this internally, heck, my actual degree theoretically trained me for this!

It just feels... different somehow.

My topic is 'How to write Awful, Unmaintainable Code' so I'm _hoping_ that I can keep it smiley. Thank you for the actual reminder (and evidence! I love evidence!) to smile there.

Ooh - you going to try 7DRL this team
year?

They spent so long thinking about if they could, then if they should, and then decided 'It's a swell idea with naught that can go wrong!'

Hopefully I have a chance to actually make "And, You Are?", my planned #7drl for this year. Toddler = could go either way. Actually needing to utilise some Rust I've got to do it (either by using a game library in Rust, or importing in Python for UI) is... not going to help my chances.

Caves of Qud is quickly elevating itself though (if I could bring myself to reload the save). I'm not playing in 'true rl' mode though.

I've liked most things @epyoncf.bsky.social has made. Played some Crawl Stone Soup - but still figuring out what I think.

My own Atlas Warriors... uh... sucks.

I still can't go past ADOM. I think it might be more due to 'It was my first love' bias though, because I struggle with its length and similarity of starting game now. Brogue is probably Number 2.

There was a really great 2 part, 3-4h total length movie in that final season.

I hope somebody fan edits it to give it to us one day.

Your adventures are making me want to boot it up again.

It's not my favorite roguelike (comes close), but it is... almost perfect for what it is. Everything has a purpose. It is to system driven design what Portal is to narrative games.

(I put Chicago Express in that category too in board games)

"Don't fear the reaper" is bad in any general anaesthetic setting

"Wrecking ball" - not great when anybody is doing work, you know, there

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" could be read as an awful metaphor

We're Probably Not Giants

I've always preferred being able to Diagonal into them, but I also cut my teeth on #ADOM

How on Earth wasn't I diagnosed sooner?

... and now and building a distributed, extendable queue system so you can distribute trials to multiple spot instances (but still change the parameters of the trial easily)?

No?

Just me?
