I get a lot of people don't like sports, but using the term "sportsball" makes you sound like those kids in elementary school that would intentionally mispronounce pokemon as "pokey man" just to be annoying.

Oh you don't need any language to get a permanent residence in Poland. That's crazy. I didn't know any country had language requirements just for that.

Oh I mean I can be a permanent resident pretty easily in Poland. I just can't be a citizen without studying the language a TON.

Almost like the game being fun is more important

The hilarity of this of course being that the shooter genre soon after became dominated by call of duty, a shooter full of nondescript guys with no mascot to put on the front.

I thought marketing was selling shit, not killing games if it isn't ridiculously easy and cut and paste to sell.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 2h

Timesplitters is one of the greatest, but short lived, shooter franchises of all time, and I'm so mad we didn't get more because of things like this:

"the marketing person in the room would say 'I don't know how to sell this' because they want a character that they can put on the front of the box."

The language requirements are taking an excruciating all day language test only offered a few times a year that they regularly run out of space for, to be tested on things like the minutae of grammar.

In the US the language requirement is basically can you and the examiner understand each other.

The language requirements already make it basically impossible to get Polish citizenship, but hey I guess make it even harder.

Meanwhile had my great grandpa left Poland one year later I could have gotten citizenship without ever even setting foot in the country.

Priorities.

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · 5h

Poland’s interior ministry has proposed tougher rules for obtaining Polish citizenship.

They would increase the residency period from three to eight years and require applicants to take a test proving they are integrated and sign a declaration of loyalty.

Jimmy is a god damn masterpiece and I am shocked it wasn't already at that threshold.

I just noticed that Jimmy And The Pulsating Mass - one of the best indie JRPGs I've ever played - is JUST shy of 500 reviews and the Overwhelmingly Positive rating.

We should make that happen. One of the best Earthbound-inspired games I've played while having its own, very strong identity.

Might as well go all out and make everything rainbow hearts

Countless pride flags will be inserted as soon as you cross two hours of playtime and can no longer refund the game.

Everyone starts dressing in pride flags

Track their playtime so at exactly two hours and one minute of playtime everyone becomes trans

It's not even promo art, it's a social media post

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah, I don't know why, it just feels wrong.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah that won't be in the game, that's just temporary art. My partner has been too busy to draw the art, which is why I haven't been able to put a video of this up on Steam yet.

Yes I'll probably eventually add an option so this screen doesn't murder your eyes, but for right now murdering your eyes is the point.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 14h

I'm not trying to! I just played the demo and it felt very good but not great.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 14h

I don't care about number of hours, I just think that digimon games are usually 7/10 or 8/10. If I'm gonna pay that much, I need at least the possibility that the game is 10/10

It's been a while since I've posted any video of the actual game since I've been just working on enemy AI, so here, have a fresh clip of opening a pack.

Isn't it beautiful? That screen was so fun to make.
