and also of course absorbing and getting super inspired by other media. it's a really nice feeling to watch a movie or play a game and have it hit me right in the area of the brain where i'm like, "i want to make something that has an effect on someone equivalent to the one this thing has had on me"

spite and bits. the more i hear about how creativity is "dying" i am personally going to keep proving that claim false. i'm also way more motivated to do something if i think it's funny! it doesn't have to amuse other people, or even be A Joke™ — if the concept simply tickles me i am typically so in

it's like that john mulaney bit about the cool parent that lets their kid smoke weed in the house; "i'd rather let you do it here than go somewhere else"

i do enjoy that they got who seems to be literally link to play himself. primo casting right here

well then i'm stumped LOL. totally thought i could call it 😆
(btw, very excited for bugfixes! 💖)

wait can i take a guess. 🏀

is this uuhhh, when you disconnect the controller on switch, and while the OS' "connect a controller" screen is popped up the video keeps playing in the background while the actual episode runtime pauses, so there's a long pause at the end of the show while it catches up?

you are a LIFESAVER

upon request from @voxy.space; a dark mode that you can toggle, OR...let it automatically switch between at 6a/6p. some of the backgrounds *really* lend themselves to it:

that's real as hell. i honestly haven't played this specific one but i am in general a picross FIEND so i'm always up to recommend it in any of its forms

would the tie-in picross game be a good shout?: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Nint...

i'm in the midst of writing all the puzzle packs right now (including some non-word-y bonuses), and also dreading hand-compiling a phat list of short words with syllabic breaks in between. if anyone can point me towards a downloadable word list with that bundled in, it would be a huge help #playdate

@perfreeze.bsky.social

he seems like a real one based purely on my thoroughly-unresearched personal vibes. from what i know he just goes as hard as possible on every single aspect which i like a lot

i read this as "air riders" and got so scared for a split second

granted i had the exact same realization about my macbook's trackpad — does nothing when it's turned off, and in fact does nothing if you enter specifically the signature creation thing in preview? it feels weird having a trackpad that clicks down and then suddenly ... doesn't

but more things left to do, in no particular order:
• 'explosion' graphic
• music! of course
• actually creating all the level packs of course;
• title screen, options menu,
• ...other modes? 👀
• fixing any more bugs that crop up
• polishing the hell out of it
• figuring out how to release
