There are a few things I like about having a discord for my game, but I always feel like I'm embedded in something created for 16 year old boys. It's hard to be serious when I'm constantly being upsold on Nitro!
@65935ef5 Back in the MM days I had a hundred of these and I wall papered by entire apartment with them. 30 years later I had to buy one off eBay for $70.
HIs name was Pumpkin Head Boy and then our VP of marketing told me that if I named him that people would only buy the game on Halloween. So I changed his name to Pajama Sam. It was good advice.
#halloween #pajamaSam
On Return to Monkey Island we had a lot of Zoom and Slack calls. Other than one team meeting none of them were video calls. Video calls are deceptively exhausting. Try eliminating them and you might be surprised how much better people feel.
@e00c5240 I don't think Mastodon should do that (and based on your emoji I don't think you do either) but the apps sucking subscription fees from users should be give back. Maybe Ivory does, but I don't see it. Subscription software pains me, especially when the money isn't going to the right people.
@e00c5240 I would feel better if half the money spent on these subscription clients when to Mastodon. I wouldn't feel so ripped off my subscription software.
I did a quick calculation and I've spent close to 98,000 hours making video games. Making video games! Not curing cancer or establishing world peace, but making video games.
My vampire quest is messed up. The conflict between the vampires, the vampire hunters and the friendly vampire made sense in my head, but as I write I'm finding it's all muddled up. Straightening it all out makes my head hurt. Then there is the local baker that has a key to the vampire house... it all made sense at one point.
@490ac2e5 I don't think they will ever go to the World Series. At some point in the future they will be sold, moved and renamed and then they will go, but not as the Mariners.
I'm getting sidetracked with books. I am 70% done with Stephen Kings latest book and then I start reading other books, including a 2nd read of Kings "On Writing". I need to focus.
@d12926de We have three bird houses and one bat house and they remain vacant. Given that you made a video game about birds do you have any suggestions?
I've notice on screenshot from other Mastodon users there is a "translate" button next to some posts. Is this something our server admin needs to install? This would be very useful. I've gotten to the age where leaning German and Italian would be quite a stretch and cut into my evening TV time.
@461d0168 Google docs is the only thing I still have to use from Google. What is a good web based alternative? I have yet to find one that isn't just a simple online notepad. I need a full featured editor and spreadsheet. I need something that non-technical people can collaborate with me by clicking on a link. I'm happy to pay for it.
@7cbf9eb4 But seriously, I like them all but my favorite has to be the one with Judge Planke because I wrote him. I used my hours of watching and reading Perry Mason to give it "authenticity". I could pass the bar.
@7691a5af You probably need to index on id as well, keys can exist multiple times and only the last one is valid. I did it this way so there is a record.
