There is little clarity as to what is going in combat. Enemy troops (and some of yours) will have arrows in differing colours, but mostly no health bars unless you hover over someone. Everyone starts running into and through each other, with no indication of what side is winning. At one point I though the enemy were dead and it turned out they had a dozen or so left.

One creature description has already been unhelpful. "can keep our enemies off-balance" means they get flung in the air.

I've been trying Sacrifice over the past few days, which is a third-person RTS with the main gimmick being you can choose one of five scenarios each time. I like it so far, but...

From the two second-tier level I've played, the difficulty varies quite a bit on the same tier. The first let me just steamroll the opposing mage over and over, while the other starts them with considerable defenses and gives them an easy shot at your base, especially if you don't know about the teleport.

Good morning all of you.

I use mastodon in a weirdly performative way, as in I don't see the point of writing anything that I don't think will interest anyone else.

Since Wily bides his time until either Mega Man or his robot bunch du jour have offed one another, and robot masters always take over some place to turn into their fortress wouldn't Mega Man be able to practically stop Wily by just not bothering?

"Well, we're down a couple of factories, an airport, a bit of ocean and two acres of forest but if this works we'll have achieved world peace!"

Wily wonders from his fortress what's taking so long out there.

Meanwhile Mega Man has taken a nap.

As far as I can tell, the history of computing is mostly people severely and consistently underestimating the future capacities and importance of computers.

Slightly macabre joke:

Did you hear about the man who wanted his own grave?

He's really digging it.

Good morning/day to you all.

I have a tendency to insert all sorts of apologetic language or words like "maybe" and "possibly". I'm not entirely sure why.

I don't know if that's of any use for you all, but now you know.

I. live. again.

Actually it's noon already but whatever

If you, as a baker, were to bake the same pies over and over, day in day out would that be a quiché?

I see why I've not bothered with social media until now.
Making my thoughts public isn't something I'm familiar with or good at, and when I do I usually want to make sure it's at least relevant. I don't know if any of you care about what I have to say either, but I usually assume people don't. Maybe it'll ease with time.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. I'll likely see you lot tomorrow.

I don't know if anyone here has spent much time on Gamejolt, the Yoyogames Sandbox and Itch.io. Among the stuff in these there are many games that try and fail to emulate other titles. Games that claim to be for an audience, but are (clearly) for the author. Games that look, sound and act for seemingly no reason.

Sometimes I get a sense of joy from those more than from competent works. I feel, but am not sure that the concept of compersion is an apt discription in those cases.

Here's the other ones. Some contain cursing, which I hope is alright with you all:

I made a mistake
Now a fucking disaster
Amuses me so

Can't help but think that
This thing I've drawn thirteen times
Should have been better

Alterations made
Pretty much at random fix
However they did

Cryptic names found here
What the fuck did I choose then
And what sense make these?

I've written some gamedev/drawing haiku's a while back that I might as well share:

I have heard it said
"Perfection rivals the good"
Thus, I've nought but bad

Trying to mend wrongs
But all I get now is just
Errors on errors

Empty windows wait
Wanting to make things happen
Nothing did today.

Small shapes flit about
I manipulate colour
As beauty appears

Might as well try the #introductions thing

-I'm 21 and bisexual.
-For the purpose of whatever will transpire here I'll be a bat, which is my fursona as well. (hope that's fine)
-Particularly hesitant of starting conversations unfortunately.
-Somewhat interested in most things, but particularly stuff to do with computers and creating drawings.

Don't know yet what I'll be using this for (aside from participating in a secret santa thing.) Possibly it'll see use as a vent for lewd stuff later.
