UI is an underestimated way to enrich your game's experience. Get inspired as @jcaridia.bsky.social gushes over some kick-ass UI, enlightened as he breaks down what makes them so appealing, and empowered with tools and approaches to give your own project a metaphorical varsity jacket & mirrorshades.

Good camera and photographer too! Though some places do make it easy and Switzerland is up there

What if you put the egg in an egg. Like an egg egg omelette or egg scrambled egg

China Mieville's Embassytown was a favourite of an English tutor friend of mine for its central themes of language. It was pretty bonkers, e.g. aliens that can only speak truth have to manufacture real situations they can use as metaphor. Been meaning to check out more of his work.

Loved Ancillary Justice. The sequels change a bit in tone I think but were also very enjoyable. Also rec Ninefox Gambit, first of another strange-scifi trilogy, and Children of Time - large-scale space experiment accidentally evolves intelligent spiders, follows their evolving culture.

Ooo Practical! Just like the original (I imagine), even better! Was wondering how you got such high framerate realistic smoke and light interactions. Can't get realer than real life 😄

Ooh love the title reveal as well, that would have been a fun bit of motion graphics /vfx. Another good reference

Very cool! 🐧❄
- wait why is there the exact Shadow of the Colossus pink circular stamina meter?? 😄 Nice reference?

When did things shift and having a room full of yes-men like a cat-stroking bond villain become a desired state of affairs? It always leads to your secret moon base being blown up, smh.

Is this related to "toxic positivity"?

The latest Hearth-7 #LancerRPG #mech off the rank, the Hellbender! Put together from scrap and hooked up to too many reactors, the Hellbender loads itself with heat to defend itself and its allies.
