When my partner and I had this conversation it was basically:

"I never want kids"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Okay I'll get a vasectomy then"

I fly my mom in to take care of Kitty when she's available. It's a shame I don't have more friends for the other times.

Flights to and from New York are very cheap. Pet care is very expensive.

One of the weirder quirks of living in New York City is that it is literally cheaper for me to fly a friend or family member in for a free visit to NYC than it is for me to hire someone to look after my pet.

Shame I don't have more friends to fly in, since my cat attacks the sitters.

Oh here is the pack opening screen lol. An older version.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 14h

My only issue with the N64 is that when I was in college people my age were so god damn annoying about it being the best thing ever when the game library was small and overall not amazing.

But I do love me some crusty maximalist graphics. You should SEE the pack opening screen.

Well you CAN do hundreds per day. You pick how much you spend. The minimum is 5 bucks a day.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 14h

Depends on your definition of expensive. I've just been running like 5 bucks a day in the US and 5 bucks in other countries.

So in a way, Brian fits perfectly as a 90s reference.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 15h

Maybe I will. But I have to make the card feel like the character in some way, you know?

My universe is a little all over the place right now though, lol. Mix of Slavic mythology and Skies of Arcadia and random 90s references.

Also, hey thanks for posting this. You're so nice.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 15h

Taking people back to a more peaceful time is in fact a main part of my game lol

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 15h

I just need to play more Quest 64 to do his card justice

I mean, I COULD use it but I don't trust Microsoft

I used Eclipse before, and it was a pain to set up as it is a general purpose thing and not Python specifc.

Exactly. It feels wrong.

Yeah my answer when I see people quote all those numbers is bleh.

I'm a numbers person, but you can't math indie games I don't think. I think that having a base of support through the process is incalculably valuable.

It's also still too early for me to be running ads early. I'd imagine that will come down when I'm closer to release.

The first comment I got was side eyeing running ads two years in advance lol.
