While I may not have had the same exact steps, @droqen.bsky.social 's reactions in this video are a vulnerable representation of how it felt at the time.

I've spent hours thinking about a single negative steam review. I think they've helped me become a better developer? Especially in projects that could be shut down by negative reviews, the learning itself is of immense value.

The mention of "logical hardwiring" at Pleias is a Willy Wonka level tease. Maybe in a few years you can share the details?

feels increasingly like the net effect of anime has been "we concentrated yearning down into crack cocaine"

Philosophy of this age will be marked by a second affective turn, one that investigates our inherent behavioural gravity in systems of accumulation, abstraction and semiotics that lost their meaning long ago.

So much of the current moment is speaking to an evolution of the civ 6 espionage mechanics, especially when tied to Corps and monopolies (e.g. Saudi $)

The recruit partisans espionage action comes close or the distrupt governor action, but there's some design space available.

Thank you Alec. As someone who's watched you since your early wax cylinder Videos, you have moved me with the constant good you bring with your platform, and set me ablaze with the fire in your soul.

The same fire that burns with appreciation for ingenuity now roars at disingenuity.

Is this what the kids call auramaxxing?

I'm sure it says that if you get invaded by Vikings, you should jump on your couch as they are unable to attack Ikea furniture

While not the exact same objective, Prototype N by @arrietty.itch.io feels like what I was hoping MN9 would feel like.

Without the Canon of the mega man universe, what's left is good design and game feel. It's interesting that indie captures this feeling better than auteurs.

This is a fever dream. Thanks for sharing...?

OMG, Blackfrost clips and pics have been in our reference material recently. Your stuff is awesome too! (also your portfolio work is killer)

My s key currently doesn't work, so I've been sending emails about North hore.

Could be worse, you could be teph

but it's one reason I do love humanity despite, you know, the evil.
