nardandas

For #screenshotsaturday - I just released the 0.2.0 version of Silvi! nardandas.itch.io/silvi Some changes are, added save/load (desktop only), plant damage mechanics, plant growth changes, and the birch actually looks like a birch! Next stop: full version! #indiedev #cozygame

i don't think i ever posted over here. i'm, as with most folks, over on bsky now. say hi! bsky.app/profile/nardy.…

At SGDQ this year! Say hi! Badge is nardy20

@wyrmforge Final Fantasy XIII trilogy is my beloved even though I know it's unpopular af

Holy shit I went to a @BaysideBand show having basically listened to nothing but Walking Wounded and they're even better than then. This new album is sick!

@goldisacks Growing up my parents always used it for cooler ice on road trips... it was such a pain in the ass. I just pay the 5 bucks at the gas station

@legend034 @AaronGuhreen I'm gonna be honest this book fucking sucked. It's way more about the aesthetics of shitty development than the economic forces or results on people

@AaronGuhreen And those interested can find out why:

Jeez I haven't really posted anything this year. Still doing game dev stuff! I'll have more Silvi and Levathia Bound stuff shortly. Spent a bunch of time struggling to rework the player in Levathia and failing, then rewriting a bunch of the lore...

@AlecStapp but like actually fuck airports. if you heard a loud train every three minutes in a major city we wouldn't have any trains

Insane statistic: 78% of noise complaints lodged against Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were made by a single household. Reminder that NIMBYs are a very loud minority of people.

@who_shot_jgr @ThunderWolf08 emphasis on the ae

@ThunderWolf08 i believe the correct name for this service is the "Wisconsin Shinkansen"

Minneapolis - Milwaukee - Chicago HSR crayon

@who_shot_jgr seattle light rail is running at TWENTY SIX MINUTE INTERVALS this month and NOT AT ALL on the weekends downtown

as i've grown older i've been increasingly radicalized, against both capitalism and also the idea of "light rail"

@Climatologist49 It's fine in Alaska I don't see what the issue is

@dmtrubman @EmpressThaliaa That's because they're able to underpay the shit out of their drivers! 20 dollars an hour already is bare minimum AND they're paying for the fucking car

@EmpressThaliaa Except they're readily available in MANY more neighborhoods (and times) than taxis?

I think transit advocates need to admit many of the trips uber "stole" from transit were really miserable transit trips. Certainly that's been the case the dozen or two times I've used it. Frankly the type of transit trips that convince people they might as well buy a car.

@dmtrubman Did you forget about Taxis???

@AL2009man @TylerGlaiel Indie used to mean without the support of a large publisher, and it probably still should. There's a big space between AAA and indie and Journey, among others, is obviously there.

@TylerGlaiel By that logic: games like Journey, Flower and flow does not fit the definition because it's published by an Triple-A Studio. Funny how the term "Indie" can change overtime.

there is no reasonable definition of "independent game" that could possibly apply to Dave the Diver not too late to swap that with pizza tower

@tom_forsyth Tom I gotta say you're a good deal more based than I figured. I remember it because "Posie" is a bizarre name

Every single time I have to search to double-check which one is Parker Posey and which is P*sie P*rker and oof the empathetic feels I have for the perfectly nice decent lady getting on with her life.

@nice_byte @vr4300 !Send !Sync?

@GaryWinslett i love this kinda shit. i don't think people from wealthier/more cultured areas get it but out in the hinterlands people just don't know any better unless they seek out new experiences. there's no cultural knowledge of anything but the local shit, and that's often mediocre.

"I give this a 9.9, it's divine, I'm getting this a lot more!" Ok people...if you want to understand who I was at 20, this is it. I was from small town nowhere, had never had sushi or Indian food til I went to college + was so geeked about every new global experience. Still am.

@villecallio This kinda game design is really sad to me. It's a very "no friction" mentality to it where, I want friction! I want to take time and struggle and learn about the world, even if in small ways. It's okay if it takes ten minutes to find the ladder!

@FrostyBard my girlfriend and i said "damn, he hasn't played in a while". miss the songs!

@frenchieintheuk @christoph_chiu @LucBernard @tha_rami 200k for unity plus! Please keep this stuff accurate!

@christoph_chiu @LucBernard @tha_rami It is more expensive than the free version, yes. But if you’re hitting $200k revenue, you would have had to be on Pro already with our previous model as the revenue cap was $100K before.
