Even weightless, disembodied bones need exercise.

Good goals! Me, I've been combining 1 with 2 and 4 by:
- running on a treadmill while watching shows in Spanish
- playing narrative video games in Spanish.

I recall playing S2 for the first time as a kid, and being THRILLED by the logistics mgmt. Then, I learned that every game was won by interacting with its wonky combat system.

I come back to ATS every few months to try for that final seal. Each time I get HEARTSTOPPING moments, no combat necessary.

ATS hype! What an incredible twist on the Settlers formula. It was always missing TIME PRESSURE and PORRIDGE

Happy October, btw

old-timey computer graphic depicting a skeleton with an upraised sword. The text says "Skeleton Attacks You!!" and the user interface option is a button that says "Okay." Because it is okay.

Any and all slop on my channel is HUMAN SLOP made by small, artisanal slopcrafters from the Slop region of Canada, using traditional methods to churn out the QUALITY content that small and solo developers crave.

The hovering skull turns to fix you in their disquieting gaze. You lean in close. You hear whispers about indie game development and game design for enthusiasts and students. It goes silent for a mome...

It's almost a decade old, but @greyalien.bsky.social 's talk on "How to Survive in Gamedev for Eleven Years Without a Hit" should be required viewing for anyone thinking about getting into #indiedev as a career/serious hobby... not everyone needs a 🦠viral hit!

Please note that I have intentionally picked the really important thumbnail of "hairy man with mouth wide open" so that I can succeed as a mobile slop game circa 2015. This is all calculated.
