being a jerk...... it's bad

trying out a little thing I like to call "having opinions on line"

I have one artist that I like but when I search it's mostly fan art... I'm just not as interested in a painting of elsa or hermione or w/e

anyone have recs for speedpaint videos?
* not fan art
* must be sfw
* weird is good

*various men named Joe line up to stab me in the back repeatedly* I've heard of Traitor Joes but this is ridiculous

anyway the game is here if you're curious http://bretsepulveda.com/games/fruit-language-opinions/index.html

it's too easy to think an action does nothing or is useless. therefore you get stuck when all you need is to try the action in a new context

more UI feedback would help indicate WHY an action didn't yield something useful, as would adding more interesting interactions in general

I made Fruit Language Opinions in like one weekend so I'm proud of it despite its flaws

I really, really love seeing people play through my games. it's such a treat to hear their thoughts and reactions

someone on twitter put up a video of Fruit Language Opinions, one of my older games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z-mAXwNAs8

got birthday presents for myself today
https://mastodon.social/media/-YpAC18NnigUlm6Z0VY

as a household we… you know… “go both ways”
that’s right, we drink tea AND coffee

birthday hack: prepend all nouns with “birthday”
e.g. “I’ll have some birthday tea while I wait for the birthday tech to hook up the birthday internet”

The Large Gatsby

I spent 80 minutes on hold with internet companies vs 2 minutes with public utilities this week, so I don’t want to hear how private enterprise is more efficient than the government ever again

take my wife, for example

editing tip: delete all occurances of "I think" and "it seems"
