    @tef @edjeff @asponge but we just started karaoke! (see you tomorrow)

  5. Good night and happy new year to @doougle and @tigershungry, who I hope are celebrating in style in NYC.

    @leighalexander it made perfect sense to me, too!

    @MaxTundra @philippawarr "Please note this is not to be used as sleepwear." WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SLEEP IN IT?
  10. @0xTheBasement No Photos, Please looks really interesting! You interested in submitting it for a future Wild Rumpus? thewildrumpus.co.uk/sendusyourgames
  11. "And yet there’s game designers out there who will say, I will not dirty my hands with this." st33d.tumblr.com/post/71852035004/in-defence-of-candy-crush
  12. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @aNuchallenger @st33d I think that was a very distracting comparison to make, but a rant is a rant.
  13. A Intro to Game-Making/Beginners Jam would be a lot more of a revolutionary act at Eurogamer than at GameCity.
  14. The audience for big corporation made games is more diverse than the audience for indie games.
  15. …in reply to @terrycavanagh
    @terrycavanagh @nachimir did not know this! V interesting, thanks.
  16. …in reply to @Wolfire
    @Wolfire Minecraft is I think an exception, here, mainly in how popular it is with children.
  17. …in reply to @jimrossignol
    @jimrossignol @Wolfire I'd probably argue that the indie audience is more or less a subset?
  18. …in reply to @tef
    @tef no 2 meal?

    @Carachan1 and SO MUCH fanservice
  20. …in reply to @undefined
    @Carachan1 yep, lots of that, too.

  22. …in reply to @UnburntWitch
    @zoequinnzel that really sucks for you, and you definitely shouldn't feel like you should stop talking about this stuff, but...
  23. …in reply to @UnburntWitch
    @zoequinnzel ...the other interpretation is that other people have their own shit, and are practicing self-care in not stressing about yours
  24. …in reply to @sturdyAlex
    @sturdyAlex typo: "rtrying"
  25. The way you make a game is you make a ever more intricate workflow for making a game until you can't bear it any more. Then you ship.
  26. @mcc_ebooks i think you might be my favorite twitter bot?
  27. …in reply to @mcc_ebooks
    @mcc_ebooks replying to this with the link ludumdare.com/compo/tag/pepsi/ as a bookmark for when I'm at a computer.
  28. It's possible it's just because I like the source material, but @mcc_ebooks is uncannily good.
  29. Apparently I drunkenly Vined @severalbees' alarm panel on NYE? vine.co/v/hVXdmx3L5bM
  30. …in reply to @edjeff
    @edjeff I would love it if you faxed me a picture of a steam engine.
  31. Thinking about buying a new computer. I'm (relatively) poor, travel a lot, and develop pretty-looking games in 3D engines. So, p much fucked
  32. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP @xShrewsbury currently have a heavy thing with no battery. Not having had that, any improvement is good.
  33. Tiny snail
  34. …in reply to @AlanZucconi
    @AlanZucconi what, "bacon chocolate brownie"? But look at how cute the snail is!
  35. Pub tomorrow? It'll be like we were doing work all week. Cc @D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @terrycavanagh @increpare @tef @severalbees etc?
  36. …in reply to @tef
    @tef @D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @terrycavanagh @increpare @severalbees not for me, but makes sense to drink elsewhere after food anyway
  37. Just won a round betting that bacon-infused wine exists.

  40. …in reply to @undefined
    @xShrewsbury oh, yeah, obviously
  41. girl, you must be
  42. Wait, what, I tweeted that attempting a floating contextless phrase, but I hadn't checked my feed all evening, it accidentally had context.
  43. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP ayah, sorry to hear you're suffering so. *hugs*
  44. …in reply to @lingmops
    @lingmops you'll knock 'em dead.
  45. So, on my iPad. See @radiatoryang post futureinterface.tumblr.com/ Think "that looks like my cup of tea, let's follow it on tumblr". How do I?
  46. Like, thanks Tumblr, you're really helping with discovery here:
  47. …in reply to @RWHBray
  48. …in reply to @RWHBray
    @RWHBray this is the problem
  49. …in reply to @RWHBray
    @RWHBray you would have thought that "let me follow a particular blog" would be a simple intuitive process?
  50. For reference, clicking that link in the Twitter iOS app, shows me this :
  51. I think the answer is "launch Chrome/Safari independently, go to tumblr, log in, type in the URL again, finally there should be a button"
  52. That is... not simple? A pain in the arse?
  53. …in reply to @awesommelier
    @awesommelier alas, I'm going to a Scandiavian Christmas party in South London. I mean, not really alas.
  54. …in reply to @awesommelier
    @awesommelier my Dad is turning up to drop off some furniture at some point, so will need to check when/maybe not stray too far.
  55. …in reply to @awesommelier
    @awesommelier but basically yeah!
  56. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP @edclef I see the value of it not as being uncritical, but of ... breaking the homogenous mass down, providing subsets you'd like.
  57. …in reply to @edclef
    @edclef yeah, seeing more of @LewieP's tweets, I see the problem more. But still think this is good & exciting.
  58. …in reply to @edclef
    @edclef @LewieP the new strange forms of media and commentary all seem to blur the line between advert and editorial harder and harder.
  59. …in reply to @edclef
    @edclef @LewieP not that the entire press side of the industry hasn't been captured by platforms from the start, of course.
  60. …in reply to @v21
    @edclef @LewieP (uh, to greater and lesser extents, of course)
  61. I thought Pecan would always be my favourite, but look who just moved in! His house has Mexican music going on!
  62. …in reply to @undefined
    @Pisscress @psychicteeth iirc, they still do, though not as much as before. Even if you have a pro account.
  63. …in reply to @psychicteeth
    @psychicteeth a rival that is as easy to use, drives amounts of traffic of a similar order of magnitude and has robust monetization?
  64. …in reply to @psychicteeth
    @psychicteeth not against their guidelines != won't be taken down in error
  65. …in reply to @failnaut
    @failnaut right, but you can get away with singing stuff that's just stupid as normal sentences. See: any love song.
  66. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow Have you played SMESPORT?
  67. …in reply to @troygilbert
    @troygilbert Which is fine! But the combination of the Tumblr app search not working, iOS's insistence on every app having it's own ...
  68. …in reply to @troygilbert
    @troygilbert ... sandboxed browser, and that perfectly reasonable feature makes this so unnecessarily painful.
  69. …in reply to @troygilbert
    @troygilbert (that the best answer is "fav the tweet, do it when you get to a real computer")
  70. …in reply to @mcclure111
    @mcclure111 wait, so: does it return? Does the calling function ever get to continue? What happens if you return again inside your finally?
  71. When it comes to making games, I generally make the most literal things in the most straightforward ways.
  72. I envy people who can use "metaphor" and "allusions" and "subtlety".
  73. Like, I think I am now best known for making a game about punching bowls of custard, called "Punch The Custard"
  74. The original idea was "punching custard". See what I mean? At least it was a good/stupid idea.
  75. …in reply to @mcclure111
    @mcclure111 Whew! At least the madness only goes so far.
  76. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN Not even being sarcastic, those people are probably legit better at this stuff than me.

  78. I just now discovered that Jelly no Puzzle got an Android port! play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jellycrew.jellynopuzzle JELLY NO PUZZLE
  79. …in reply to @undefined
    @PistachioRoux @jonbro I started playing this week! There are lots of moving parts, huh?
  80. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp ayah - I'm learning with a whole group of people who've already splashed out on expansions & made custom decks, so I can dabble.
  81. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp which reminds me that I guess I should buy it.
  82. "his priority as environment secretary was growing the economy as well as improving the natural environment." Yaaaaaaay!
  83. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN fwiw, my last tweet was actually expressing disdain through veiled sarcasm. We're back!
  84. …in reply to @lingmops
    @lingmops block 'em.
  85. …in reply to @xoebus
    @xoebus me too! I've dabbled a bit already, but it hard work working out how stuff works (and then it changes again)
  86. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp but FLAAAAAVOUR. (I would also not do this. At least the corp names make sense, unlike "heap" and "stack")
  87. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp Especially given you end up sorting them out like after every game.
  88. …in reply to @jonbro
    @jonbro @smestorp there are icons!?
  89. …in reply to @jonbro
    @jonbro @smestorp yeah, but even so: friends have built decks, which they've been unbuilding to give us core set cards to learn on.
  90. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @jonbro Well, the layout is completely sideways for those cards. On that note: why are the identity cards so undistinguished?
  91. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @jonbro Like, I don't think I haven't shuffled those into the deck once yet.
  92. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @jonbro Like, there's no reason those cards couldn't be double sided.
  93. …in reply to @leighalexander
    @leighalexander @smestorp @jonbro right, but that's no excuse. you gotta design for people who are new and confused by everything, too.
  94. …in reply to @v21
    @leighalexander @smestorp @jonbro someday we'll be those twitchy players indicating where we're running by raising an eyebrow, but not yet.
  95. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC @smestorp but deck as a trope would map to hand, imho. So honestly I'm just glad we dodged THAT bullet.
  96. …in reply to @undefined
    @karlnp @leighalexander @smestorp @jonbro well, a fair amount of spending would be useful to help you know the cards yr opp is playing.
  97. …in reply to @undefined
    @karlnp @leighalexander @smestorp @jonbro and a fair amount of spending would give you more possibilities for deckbuilding
  98. …in reply to @undefined
    @karlnp @leighalexander @smestorp @jonbro I mean, the problem is reduced greatly, but how much does it cost to get every expansion?
  99. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @karlnp @leighalexander @jonbro and even if it isn't, it's certainly stranger and more unfamiliar, which are advantages.
  100. …in reply to @undefined
    @karlnp @smestorp @leighalexander @jonbro I mean, the answer is simple : play whatever sets are most fun for you & your opponent.

    @SimoRoth did not know this!
  104. …in reply to @undefined
    @Rinzence Yeah! Just sent an email with your name in it. Will be in touch soon!
  105. OH, the reason the Discover tab exists is because Twitter is still jealous of Facebook. Makes sense now.
  106. Okay! Actually bought Netrunner! Now to just become not completely incompetent at it.
  107. I'm an idiot and won't get to see @hidingseeking's last hurrah at Kensington Palace.

    @patrickashe I'd like it if Tumblr gif uploading was a smooth, reliable and explicable process.
  111. …in reply to @patrickashe
    @patrickashe But ... like... "Tumblr doesn’t like gifs that are too saturated in cyan or magenta colours."
  112. …in reply to @lingmops
    @lingmops Oh yeah! End up drinking imported Danish Carlsberg, as it has an extra 1% ABV.

    @rubzo they're showing one of my games, happy to ask for a guestlist place for you?
  117. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @HilariousCow well TOO BAD! Aubrey recognized it, your game is a failure.
  118. …in reply to @smestorp
    @smestorp @HilariousCow I like the game, but then I haven't played DOTA.

    @mooonmagic AMAZING
  130. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo no, I find there's generally one correct way to play, and beyond that it's luck. Only rarely do you have to try to call out bluffs.
  131. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo and even then, card counting is likely to get you further. Shame, as the game is good until you've learnt it.
  132. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo yeah, p much. I'm okay with losing to randomness, but it has to feel tense (which it stops doing after enough plays).
  133. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo most cards need two cards in your hand to function. Maybe try the other way : 3 cards, 2 lives?
  134. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo plus, that'll give you actual choices to make...
  135. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo ah, okay, yeah, we agree then. Will think about revised card rules...
  136. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo more important is is makes most decisions actual decisions, not automatic...
  137. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo ah, you just sent a backup copy...
  138. …in reply to @LineHollis
    @LineHollis "and in the game"?
  139. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo yeah, we should try this out using imaginary cards online at some point.
  140. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo I've less interest in fixing Love Letter then bettering it. Or at least understanding it better.
  141. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo like, I trust the designers enough to feel there's no fixes in the immediate vicinity of the published game.
  142. …in reply to @rubzo
    @rubzo it's cheap, interesting, flavorful and you can play it in about 10 mins?
  143. After three days, I found That Thing That I Don't Really Need But Would Be Useful That I Can't Find And It's Really Irritating

  145. …in reply to @D_Nye_Griffiths
    @D_Nye_Griffiths Feels like, at least in this corner of the world, @Carachan1 has just made it a mainstream option. Now it gets popular.
  146. …in reply to @D_Nye_Griffiths
    @D_Nye_Griffiths &: more like Kickstarter than Bitcoin, no? Where you can cash in reputation for money, but the exchange rate is going down.
  147. …in reply to @D_Nye_Griffiths
    @D_Nye_Griffiths Yep, I agree. But like KS, the model is also for people to discover it, then start putting money on lots of things.
  148. …in reply to @D_Nye_Griffiths
    @D_Nye_Griffiths And every new person on the platform brings their own audience, which then swells the ranks of funders for others.

    @philippawarr @LewieP @Tom_OBedlam there's a little weird bit of finessing with per article/ per month, though.
  151. …in reply to @philippawarr
    @philippawarr @LewieP @Tom_OBedlam People make a thing ~ a month, and then get money for each thing, so it's only roughly $x/month.
  152. …in reply to @LewieP
    @LewieP @philippawarr @Tom_OBedlam no, it's per piece, but presumably better for creators to keep a constant rate patreon.com/faq?ftyp=patrons

    @hannahnicklin You might well have to compromise one of those. Which, that's a hard choice to make. And also, everything moves a lot slower.

    @haze______ there's a fundamental difference: HCI makes tasks easier, games you also have to make the tasks too.
