want to contact me you can use Discord .cardboardmoon but I can’t guarantee timely replies since my entire identity is currently reduced to exhausted anxiety-ridden parent of a toddler and 2-month-old. Bye for now 🀝

If I have nothing new to post and my replies also don’t seem to add any value to other’s posts, why am I here? What is the point of social media that isn’t social, that seems to be an abyss of content with no engaging community? I’ll cut the complaining short here. If you

visual/communicative feedback to feel validated or like a welcome presence but having near-zero for a while really makes me think I should stop wasting my time on social media until I have something other than text to share. Ironically, that makes me want to share my creativity even less too.

It’s time for another big social media break. It’s just depressing out here when I can’t participate in the creative spaces I follow. I’ve been muting a handful of follows lately who either doompost or seem to ignore my interactions entirely which is shitty. I don’t need

Good to read you’ve found a new understanding of yourself and have improvements to look forward to. Those times in life are huge. I wish you the best!

You can also use it as inspiration to never use Reddit, because it’s fucking terrible and a waste of energy to engage with

One of my favorite games of all time. Still have the cartridge ☺️

Some other fun double standards:

- β€œtil the sweat drips down my balls, til all these females crawl”
- β€œwait til you see my *fake orgasm noises*”
- β€œtake you to the candy shop; let you lick the lollipop”
- β€œl-l-l-lick me like a lollipop”

What’s with dudes and lollipops in the early 2000s

I love how Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics β€œI get wet at the thought of you” are being censored, girls aren’t supposed to feel sexual eww gross what a slut, also god forbid a woman be a consenting adult

It's the first day of September.

You know what that means.

Barely a scrap of energy at the end of the day lately, let alone creative energy

Will be eagerly awaiting the next thing from you, whether it’s a different game or a new chapter in FF!

In my experience, using the instance ID returned from a function like instance_create_layer() or instance_place() is consistent and stable. Hope it works out!

As soon as the release date for Metroid Prime 4 is announced you can bet your sweet honey ass I’ll be replaying the trilogy and desperately hoping I don’t miss those one-time scans for 100%. Might *might* stream the playthroughs…

Get in on this, bird brains! Everything about this game looks and feels fantastic!

to try to convince players and devs alike that there is a right and wrong way to think about games and gameplay and innovation.

thinking critically at length about games but the level of depth required to understand them and the concept of gameplay as a whole is completely subjective. I feel like folks are analyzing the fun out of experiencing a game and it’s kind of annoying, honestly. To each their own but also not cool

Personally, I think the writers of those pieces are taking the concept a little too seriously. Games can both be deep artistic expressions and just fun toys with no ulterior motive to provoke thought. It’s simultaneously β€œnot that deep” and β€œas deep as you want it to be”. There’s nothing wrong with

Showing a bit of what the programmer was able to make in case you are curious.

Easily a top 3 GBC games of all time, for me. The music is especially perfect, like it has no right being as good as it is but they really just said oops all bangers
