I got the MX Master 4 and it's a joke for a larger hand. It's like holding a small but heavy brick of soap. MX3 I can raise with 2 fingers, MX4 tries to slip away. The last sensible product I got from Logi is MX Vertical
I've got this problem for a while now: anytime I mention "AI" in the game context I need to answer/explain that I don't mean LLM/chat interface.
If I fail with tinygenerals.com maybe at least I will be able to productize the map generator. Added auto-generation, now also for fitting buildings to the map

Linux was my first system for some time around ~15 years ago (Gentoo and Debian). I recently wanted to make a come back but got defeated by Ubuntu and Fedora. nvidia drivers, freezes, installer hanging. Guess skill issues.
And this Atari 2600 demo from Revision 2026 is insane! This is running on a device that has 128 bytes(!) of RAM! Deservedly won first place in the Oldskool Demo Competition 😄
The moment I am happy I picked JSON to store the maps in game and spent significant amount of time on building the map editor in tinygenerals.com. Now GeoJSON + short tweaking session and... 80x72 which is bit more than Civ1 - in your browser

Artillery - the king of the battle - felt overpowered in tinygenerals.com. It was insta-killing infantry so I added suppression. Just like in real life: part of the force is not destroyed but scattered and less effective. Currently the effect lasts for a turn.

Why so serious? Have a turn playing the audio spectrum visualiser. #tinygenerals #indiedev #solodev #gamedev
You are telling me that the engine does not render every drop of rain on the whole scene in FPS games? Can't be!
I have to admit that I sometimes struggle to understand what you are showing but I genuinely like your posts in my thread.
TinyGenerals has a younger brother.
I miss the glowing logos tho.
tinygenerals.com is now equipped with battle replays and in-game undo. So now you can watch every game and - soon - even share it with others. Or just undo that one wrong move which almost costed you the game.

Brilliant
This is amazing idea and execution
Building units every turn can be tedious. Why not queue them up?

Love what you are doing guys, keep it up
The last time I felt so good was when I was considered "hot" on hotornot.com ~20+ years ago
(yes, it also meant nothing)

Finally wrote the summary of February and plans for March.

My fav screen for the past 12 hours
Recently I had a spike of new players in #tinygenerals. They started games but often dropped on the first turn without any movement. I thought they didn’t like it or didn’t know what to do. Today I tried the game on my old phone with slow internet and discovered the loading progress bar is broken 🤦♂️
Early version, no graphics yet and I don't know if I will manage to polish it but I made a simplified spinoff on one of the upcoming features for #tinygenerals and my hope is to make a version for the #commodoreamiga #amiga classic and AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS.

And now I still don't have time to work on my ideas but at least I'm up to date.
I was missing a manager/updater for #godot @godotengine.org so I created a new one (and I totally neglected that there's likely 666 of them already).
Should work across all platforms, has a TUI interface and #commodoreamiga related easter egg in settings.

Capitalism is still developed, just in case... ;)
Civ1, Settlers 1 and 2, Colonization, Reunion, Utopia and K240, Millenium 2.2 (and Deuteros which is its continuation), Mega-Lo-Mania, Panzer General. Top of my mind
If the screen area was bigger, I would say Powermonger
I've been under the weather and progress on #tinygenerals and @postreads.co slowed down to a crawl. But new updates are coming for both. TG will get an update tonight/tomorrow, postreads "when it's ready". TG gets also an update of help portal with modding info.

If you are product people and use #AI to help you in your daily work I added skills which can be used with Claude or agentskills.io compatible agents which cover topics like product discovery, strategy, customer interviews and more. Check it out: github.com/tomaszstania...

Love it. Looks very Amiga-esque
