Raspberry Foxy @Raspberryfloof@awoo.space

I've always gravitated towards making strategy games, board games, or some combination of both...

I haven't really finished any game in those genres, though, with the closest being a board game idea I started a few years ago and a forum RPG-strategy-game-thing I ran many, many years ago...

Someday I would like to make ... a game? I can't even describe what kind of game it should be...

Though at this point, having not actually made anything since shortly after starting college, making anything would be nice...

My timeline on birdsite flies by so fast most days that I have no sense of having read or seen anything on it, only a vague and usually incomplete memory of a sound byte or image macro I might have seen and can't remember exactly enough to share.

Thank you, awoo.space, for feeling less like a group of people fighting to talk over one another and more like a group of friends having thoughtful conversation with each other.

More good pinball scores from this weekend~

I missed ranking into the high scores on this machine by 150,000,000...

Why is reducing a person down to only one word denigrating and wrong, but describing and even defining characters in a story using a single word or trope commonplace and accepted?

Relatedly, are character creators and writers particularly upset when fans or critics describe their characters this way?

And so, I get a feeling that unless I have enough money to become a patron and pay them, I probably shouldn't bother them, even if just to leave a message of support or ask a question about their work...

I don't know if anybody would even be upset if they got a message from somebody like me who they didn't already know and who wasn't paying them, but I feel like it's possible they would be, so I don't bother saying anything...

I've been really afraid of talking with any artist or writer or content creator who has a Patreon page lately...

Partly it's probably my anxiety like usual, but... I have been feeling like if a creator has a Patreon, and is making content directly for their patrons or has a private chat room, then not only are they probably very busy making their content, but they probably spend most of their time talking just with their patrons...

It's nice to know that Mastodon is capable of nearly crashing my entire system from a single Firefox tab left open for one week...

If there is a known memory leak in this project's code, how has there not been any work done in fixing it? Or has there been work done, but the work hasn't been merged in with the project? It seems like a major flaw for any user who uses Mastodon for any length of time...

I haven't been able to sleep well for the last week...

At least I had a very good night of pinball tonight. ^^ https://awoo.space/media/lXSdBvhqVRVnR2kgyME

Well... said roommate knocked an IC loose inside the game monitor, so now it doesn't work at all. :S

And then he had the nerve to say he didn't break it, and that it just "happened"...

Spending time helping a roommate repair his arcade cabinet today. ^.^

Why does every game idea I have inevitably spiral into either an RPG or a shmup (or both)?

That's almost certainly above what I could personally manage, though, since making pictures move around in a window or text show up on a screen is difficult for me to accomplish...
