I was thinking about sneakily inserting Bivium into the next Crashbook.
Regardless of the conflict of interest 😂 I realised as I had already played it, many many times, it breached the Crashbook's one rule: it only includes games I have not played (yet).
"Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people's affairs," a line from Stargate SG-1 we heard last night.
Produced the biggest laugh of the evening
I think it's time for a social media break
I keep playing A Little Perspective because I thought I'd hate it but I am not hating it
There's something messy about it - it doesn't feel logically tight because I'm often searching not understanding - but messy can be more interesting than the Perfect Design™️
& I do understand some of this shit
A puzzle from A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE with cyan blocks forming a grid for our cheeky Red Cube Protagonist to solve puzzles. There is a deep blue block near the bottom left, which is basically a shuttle. There are also some purple blocks which have the numbers 0 and 1 on, these are step counters, and I am not sure I like step counters, friends.
Furking hell, this level, 4-8 Parity Adjustment is hard. There's also a frustrating step counter. Spent a lot of time on it.
Unfortunately, after spending some time on a walk thinking about it, I solved it and felt like a boss. This means I now think its the greatest puzzle in the world and I'm rad
Soon: "you can tell it's AI, it contains words"
Yikes I had a few freaky injuries when I was younger too, sends shudders down my spine thinking about any of those
Jank has been going for 2 months. In that time we’ve published over 100 articles. We are not fuckin around. Here's a rundown of our work so far.

Oh I do that mentally every day
you know what I mean
Just occurred to me I probably should start developing unplanned free DLC for my game which remains unreleased
I gather this is what you do in game development, I read all about it
The more you wrestle with the puzzles, the more brave you become in the overworld. I didn't think I'd level up my thinking but somehow I have
taken me about two hours to reach the point where I'm intrigued. I'm not *good* at it but it's fascinating how paths are just hidden "in plain sight"
I'm finding hidden things which is very exciting
only thing that upsets me is the 0/9 stuff because it's not always clear what levels are involved
Well this got me looking it up on Wikipedia - is a childhood Bak injury somewhere amongst this history?
Okay my friends I am here to announce my retirement
...from Dave's Word Game
A look at how I played (a little too) intensively: www.electrondance.co...
graph from oscillating wildly from major depression to mania swapping between “it’s so over” and “we’re so back”
currently here in the game dev process
I love Tad's work, but I was initially wary of this, worried I'd spend time trial-and-erroring, rotate/rotate/rotate until I see a path
Two hours in, my brain has changed. Sure, still hunt-rotating, but I know what I'm looking for
And then I found 9-3 by accident:
WTF content confirmed
If I can get exsanguination on fast recall, then I'll die a happy man
Ye, I'm aware it isn't necessarily YouTubers hitting buttons at me but they are setting up A/B versions and letting the algorithm fly. I'm not 100% sure but I think I'm also getting double notifications on subscribed channels that do this now, with the videos flipping their format
This didn't make me feel better at all, it just means I have another 8 years of this 😂
can we skip to the end of this familiar pattern
10 FOR WEEK=1 TO 2
20 PRINT "perfectionism? not a problem my game will be finished within two weeks"
24 REM add extra buffer jic
25 WEEK=WEEK-1
30 NEXT WEEK
maybe I can join this crew someday
Old magazine advert for Contac which is an cold medicine that contains lots of tiny beads which they call "time pills"
It's the new Contac
I feel like these platforms have turned everyone this way though, the videos that flip appearance are often from 'toobers I respec
As I've become immune to clickbait hyperbole, I have a lot of videos I don't even click. But seeing another "version" of a video replace the original is really maddening, that moment when you go - I saw that video popup earlier, right?
you're taking the mickey
(ADD LATER: sorry not sorry emoji)
seems YouTubers are changing their thumbnail and description after publication in case it didn't click first time
"amazing bathroom trick" returns as "surprising toilet feature"
the entire web is now dedicated to mental illness, a sea of chaos which wants to undermine facts and your own memory
Episode 6 of Azathoth Blues, The Anticipation of Grief, is now available in all the usual places. As we move into the second half of our first season, I can only repeat that independent art is hard to make and even harder to promote, and without your help we don't stand a chance.
No April Fool's fake news, please, because I have Trump every fucking day thanks with a war that hasn't happened, did happen, been won, is ongoing, never started, involving a division of supernatural fairies as well as non-supernatural fairies and will not involve ground troops any day now
