It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY πŸ’™ (Bandcamp waives revenue share, we get direct funds)

If you want sad songs to pretend you're in a music video to, ambiance melodies perfect for studying/working, and SO much more (it's 85 tracks long lol), buy the 1000xRESIST OST!

See all those buildings? @nictringali.bsky.social and I have written hundreds of ways they can collapse into the mausoleum beneath, leaving geographical reminders of your city’s history as well as impacting the political machinations of factions 😌

Which can be experienced on MAY 6✨

Obsidian on your phone might let you stitch stuff together pretty coherently (and is not unpleasant to write into)

Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.

When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.

That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. πŸ’ͺ

A group chat. 

JC: Quick, everyone send me Kristi Noem being fired memes

For folks curious, a chunk of my concepting was for Field Maintenance in Dire Marsh and designing the big harvester vehicles. What @ninehydras.dev and the world art/palette team did is so so rad

you don't need to use their service to sync, though. an obsidian vault is just files in your local file structure. you yourself can sync them to a version control system, the same way you might make a new .txt file and sync it.

I set this up before for a side project so, happy to help if you run in to any issues

it is possible, yeah!

any given "vault" is just a set of files, the same way a basic webpage is a .html file.

you can create a "vault" (read: top-level folder with files in it) and then in version control like a Github project, you can include that folder in the sync

it's funny, when you start getting deep into Shakespeare you want to show all the more obscure plays to people and go "Look! King John is actually really good!" and - it is! But... Hamlet, R+J, and Midsummer really are not "overhyped" or anything, lol

We’re going to build the hyperreal simulacrum so much, you may even get tired of the simulacrum! You’re going to say β€œPlease Mr. Baudrillard, I have a headache. Please, don’t simulate so much. This is getting terrible.” And I’m going to say β€œNo, we have to build the hyperreal simulacrum.” You’re gonna say β€œPlease.” I said β€œNope, nope. We’re gonna keep building the simulacrum.”

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

I just spent awhile trawling youtube to see if I could find the safety video, and I can't. But I did get to see a lot of candid videos of families having fun at birthday parties, so that was kind of nice.
