I had an iPhone pretty much my entire adult life, but I‘m not buying it anymore… any good tips for alternatives?

China is kinda like the US, they both became big with cheap labor, fought for their independence from England, had a civil war and became the dominating factor in the world

I grew up on these streets

I had a similar experience. Pushed through eventually and the story was rewarding, but I never warmed up to the patchwork gameplay (what status does combat have in the design??)

The older I get, the more I appreciate capacity for enthusiasm as a trait in game devs/artist. This is something that has the tendency to dissolve, but you can never lose #gamedev

When I start a game project, it's like I'm in a train of euphoria and it feels great. The challenge is to take the actual gamedev progress with you as long as the attitude is so positive. Later on, it gets harder and at some point I have to manually push the waggon #gamedev

Are there ttrpgs that encourage upending the world? Would that even work or would it be dogmatic in itself?

Fabian Schaub @fahps.bsky.social · Jul 14

Looks interesting, what’s the genre?

thank you <3
we'd love to bring it to Switch, but it will basically come down to how well it performs on Steam :)

Just finished Nodebuster and I have to rave about it: it avoids the common mid-game drag by constantly offering something new and interesting! Bonus points for not overstaying and avoiding the existential feeling of pointlessness that comes with dopamine hangover
