I've released delve 0.3.3! This release once again focused on bug-fixes and polish, including some UI niceties that begin to drag its user interface out of the stone ages.

I did a little devlog danarama.itch.io/delve/devlog... and the github page is also updated!

v 0.3.3

0.3.3 fixes a host of bugs and adds some UI polish. I'd guess almost half of all the git commits were just fixing poorly phrased messages, or messages that revealed information they shouldn't. I did f...

Turns out I hadn't added these lovey birds to the Bird Tarot thread yet, so here they are again:

I tried out LÖVE last November for like 2 weeks to make a little game and ever since, my iPhone automatically changes love to löve every single time.

But even after like 15 years of having a smartphone, it can't seem to learn to change Im to I'm

It's still hot around here but I am hopeful, ok??

Template with mobile phones and a wallpaper of a ghost in a mug in them. The tea label says "Boolong Tea" and has a little skull. I'm so clever, I know. The mug itself has a pumpkin, flowers and leaves.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I feel like I should replay Persona 3 too... (I think I finished it?? The ending had something to do with the moon? @vanishingage.bsky.social?)

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 3d

youtube has been recommending me a lot of videos about "Making your personal curriculum", which I take to mean I need a regimen for video game playing.

So through autumn my plans are to play:
1) Hades 2
2) Blue Prince
3) Clair Obscura
4) Arco
5) Disco Elysium

But the Bay is gone now so I need to figure out where I'll enjoy clothes shopping at

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 4d

I have to go pick up a pair of jeans or two soon and it's a bit of a dilemma for me. I used to get most of my boring/standard clothing from the Bay because (1) decent selection (2) slightly better than cheap disposable clothing from Walmart (3) the staff leave you alone for the most part

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 4d

I was not great at it either! There’s an option you can turn on to make things a little easier.

And yeah I really liked all the aesthetics. Art, voice acting, and music were all top notch

And I thought I was behind the times by not playing Hades 2 in Early Access!

How are you enjoying it though?

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 4d

I played an hour or so of Hades 2 last night and my hot take is that it's pretty good so far!

Yeah! It's time someone called the Moon out on its constant fuck-ups!

I think I would love it if it were 2/3 or maybe even 1/2 the size.

I want to complain about the final confrontation to you later!

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 6d

I finally finished Baldur's Gate 3 today! It was an amazing game, but all the same I can't see myself (right now) doing another playthrough. It's just too big.There's too much game.

Also, the final confrontation was such a frustrating slog, even after switching to easy to mode

I gotta start saving these posts for Screenshot Saturdays...

People who play D&D with me know mimics are a favourite monster of mine so of course I was going to add them to delve. Only a bit of a pain in terms of updating the display code, the Examine command, etc etc...
