2 years since full release! It's been such a fun journey so far! We've learnt a tonne and met some amazing people!
Onto the next game! πŸ˜€

Totally fair! I've had a bit of fun trying to read a few of them myself!
Probably best used to get the ideas flowing, rather than as-is! πŸ˜€

We needed inspiration for a name for our new game. So I hacked together this little tool to SMASH words together!
Not all of the smashes are winners. Let me know if you get any good ones! πŸ˜ƒ

Woohoo! Just achieved a 700 day duolingo streak for learning Japanese! πŸŽ‰
I'm glad to be making small steps in this direction, even if it's slower than full-time study. Also, full disclosure: There's been a good deal of streak freezes used to get here! 🧊πŸ”₯

I really enjoyed this talk, thank you for presenting it!
I've been asked to share some of the lessons from it at my workplace. Did you happen to, or would you be willing to, upload the slides for this talk anywhere? I was frantically taking notes but missed some of the great examples you shared πŸ˜€

My nephew does this in Super Mario Wonder and is convinced his data will not be saved unless it is done!
I do the same in No Man's Sky, just to make sure I see the "your last save was x seconds ago" message.
It could be rooted in experienced/expected behaviour of other games.

A white chicken jumps over a wooden fence, while a raccoon in striped clothes runs away with a bag over his shoulder. It's a sunny day with green grass and a blue sky. Text reads Super BAWK! BAWK! Chicken
