utterly vomming at the amount of AI generated capsule art in the next fest. really gross, and a quick way to put many people off your game.

My first title, Little Rocket Lab, has now been out for a week, and it's been huge for myself and @nomorerobots.io. We're at over 80,000 players, and a 93% positive rating on steam.

I wanted to share some of what guided Little Rocket Lab's development, so that maybe it could be helpful to others 🧵:

Hey! Where can I send an output log? The demo crashed right as I was first entering the house, and I was just enjoying myself :D

bonus: i worked in publishing

there were 188,000 books published in the UK alone in 2018

be real about what you're competing with and what kind of money you're trying to make

when everyone's freaking out about how many games are being released but your next fest is pages and pages of micro indies that you're not competing with

the venerated cat monkey room guardian meme images. a white monkey cat looking thing sits on a box, holding out its arms in incredulous poses.

my steam wishlist is a huge pit of stuff that i don't necessarily even want to play, i just want to see how they're doing things, and if anyone bought me something off it i'd be likely very surprised

that being said, using it as a hopper to surface interesting demos during next fest is great

People are always rightly pointing out that Warhammer contributes more to the British economy than the fishing industry, but the problem is that there just aren't very many folk songs about Warhammer

Asking the American TTRPG crowd because they're informed on such things

is there anything like the wayfinder experience for kids in the uk? my kid is bursting at the seams for storytelling and teamwork and anything that helps her grow her story/social chops without needing to do actual writing or be confined in a classroom

Yeah. Going to a country to work implies you'll be taxed and will therefore need a visa, implying a certain type of work, usually paying less. Going for business means you're meeting people and having conversations... which will generate value in a much vaguer way, but nonetheless real value 🙃

That there's a difference between being somewhere for work and on business is trouble in itself isn't it

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

a bit of heartfelt, truthful, straight-talking, historically informed comms coming from a politician, will wonders never cease

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
