			@LewieP @retroremakes @AeornFlippout the stuff they've been talking about, with user-curated stores seems like a good fix for this?

			@HilariousCow I am a game developer, and I hate "gamers".
- 
		
			@HilariousCow alright, being serious: there's a danger of moving further into a niche if you only listen to most vocal demands.
- 
		
			@HilariousCow (which isn't to say you shouldn't listen, but you should strain harder to hear less vocal opinions)
- 
		
			@HilariousCow though, again: no need to be rude to your fans, cripes.

			Still haven't figured out how they did scottmcd.net/artanalysis/?p=115 in KRZ. Just carefully set up sliding viewport rects?

			@fastramdesign not even very scary! Just lists of (logically) grouped settings, where you can add a type from the inspector.
- 
		
			@fastramdesign like, a list of "FadeInObject" : objectToFade, timeToFadeInFrom, fadeLength, enabled
- 
		
			@fastramdesign maybe I should blog this idiom! It's really useful, just a pain you can't set sane default values.

			@radiatoryang it kind of ruins it as a player, so do you want to hear how it's implemented?

			@radiatoryang it's a midget, 30 cm high, who can't see any higher than that and has splashes coming out it's head.

			@droqen Oh the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, the combination system resembles Luftrausers, which works marvellously.
- 
		
			@droqen the difference being, any combination is valid?

			@droqen no, no magical combos (that I know of). But magical combos layered delicately on top wouldn't ruin it, I don't think?

			@tha_rami @doougle @joonturbo depends on the game, though part of my point is that the boundaries between game and context are fuzzy.

			@robertpeacock22 yep! Not that I'm really posting that to hate on Microsoft, more just -- it's a great quote.

- 
		
			@c_hedborg shit, that's really nice! I've got a lot of nice glitch stuff in the works -- unfortunately it's all tied up in a single project.
- 
		
			@c_hedborg Yeah, the glitch texture fits so well as sparkles, I'll remember that in future.
- 
		
			@webbedspace that's amazing, please make that.
- 
		
			I got quoted at length in this article by @john_brindle unwinnable.com/2013/06/20/lemons-trawlers-and-a-bit-of-alright/
- 
		
			It's probably a great article (I find it hard to tell because it set off my cringe reflex)
- 
		
			I love feeling part of this community of open, curious, inventive people. It's a lot of why I make games.
- 
		
			@robertpeacock22 I haven't, but that sounds great!
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb @patrickashe Oh, shit! I was going to give you some speakers for TWT!
- 
		
			It's difficult : I like awkward, uncomfortable games. But the discomfort varies invisibly with the player's context.
- 
		
			So hitting that perfect level of discomfort (where you are just outside you comfort zone, but happy to be testing it) is ... unreliable.
- 
		
			The most important thing, I guess, is the right not to play. Otherwise, it's not a game.
- 
		
			@radiatoryang (I oscillate between saying this, and explaining just how much work & stress it is)

			@haikus_by_KN nope! Wedding in Selkirk. Means I miss Rezzed, unfortunately.

			I think they might've succeeded with this trick of making the first class tickets cheaper. Cup of tea, wifi and breakfast later...

			@jonbro tell me about it! Woke up at 5, won't be in bed til past midnight...
- 
		
			@jonbro funny you should mention that (on the Edinburgh train right now)

			@jonbro there is a game symposium? (No, a wedding in Selkirk)

			punished for talking about git in a social situation last night with git going hideously wrong this morning
- 
		
			@infovore much worse! Some internal files got corrupted, I had to manually yank them out, delete some others, git fsck, etc.
- 
		
			@infovore ignore all but Assets & ProjectSettings, Editor Settings> .meta files and force text serialization, that's most of it.
- 
		
			@infovore But still, don't rely on being able to merge scene changes (even manually). Which can be mitigated with smart use of prefabs.
- 
		
			@infovore ah, that's much less painful. I use it to collaborate with artists. It's fun teaching non-technical people about git.

			@Gillespionage Any old unpowered hub works fine, unless you're gonna have more than 2 or so vibrating at once.

- 
		
			@jennatar @smestorp @aliendovecote I reject, as a point of principle, the idea that drunk tweeting is worth less.

			@ElectronDance you were at Rezzed last year, though! You should come to more things.

			@ElectronDance (not that I'm at Rezzed, either, mind)
- 
		
			@tigershungry ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wish I was there!
- 
		
			@tigershungry can you buy me a copy of Sunday In The Park With Boys? On Koyama press, I think at Blank Slate? And Giant Days?
- 
		
			@ElectronDance oh, yeah. I forget, because they seem like much the same thing?
- 
		
			Wish the libraries I was using were open source so that making hem better felt more useful.

			@jennatar all these groups and places leak. Get enough decent attitudes about, maybe it'll diffuse into the entire world.

			@jennatar oh god. I find that show like taking a wire wool scrubber to shine up my sense of decency.
- 
		
			@jennatar I feel I should rewatch it every so often, to remind me what to hate, but it's not a pleasant experience.
- 
		
			@jennatar Mind you, it should be noted that I currently live in East London.
- 
		
			@jennatar It's an amazing amazing show.
- 
		
			@jennatar But in the same way that I argued to a non-games person at a wedding that games shouldn't have to be about "fun"...
- 
		
			@jennatar ... I can't watch a man inappropriately rapping while going down on a woman and call it "pleasant", or "enjoyable".
- 
		
			@jennatar Yeah, exactly! That's why it's so painful -- you can't even retreat into a comforting revulsion at the terrible people you see.

			Frustrating experience of searching for flights on Hipmunk, and them being £250+ quid more expensive when I clcik through to book.
- 
		
			@martinhollis Hmm... Good shout. Though having searched again, I think I've found a direct flight that only comes in £7 over budget.
- 
		
			@siskin I'm booking with the airline, so if that is the case I don't really want to give them my money.
- 
		
			@siskin Also, re-searching found out some direct flights that were suddenly £100 cheaper, so I've went with that.

			@terrycavanagh or in the last ... however long it's been since it came out, for that matter.
