@pozorvlak I'm more often in places where I could get in trouble for having a sharp thing than in places where I need to cut things.

@pozorvlak yeah, mainly clubs. I'm carrying one now, as I'm setting up a festival. Mainly I need it at home/work, where there are tools.

This thing where you set up an event, then go home and go to sleep before letting people see it the next morning is super weird.

Ugh. I have Woodlouse stuck in my head from Now Play This. The game goes: think of words with more vowels than consonants.

@PlayFairIre I don't know! Some languages wouldn't work, I assume, but the level of challenge is right for English. Play it!

@jawsew haha, yeah. This just earwormed me, though, hijacked a thought out of nowhere.

@jmickle_ hah. yeah.

@rossgsutherland I meant to tell you about it on Wednesday night, but didn't. Have you seen my cheapbotsdonequick.com/ project?

@rossgsutherland the process of writing sentences that'll be probabilistically generated later seems like it'd fit you well.

@alexhern but actual screenshake when you're hit. drawing apps that can actually read pressure sensitivity. music apps, too!

@patrickashe hey we found the caps for your midi controller. That's just as good, right?
-
@patrickashe I guess it only has 8 controls...
-
@compositeredfox circles, then colour channel separation, then distance blur, then palette layering. Easy.
-
@infovore the x-y tying of the standard controls is really great & interesting. That same free movement in more dimensions is what I want.
-
@jennatar I have SOME affection for it, because it reminds me of staying with my late grandmother. But I doubt I'll ever own one.
-
@jukiokallio should I get one? Tell me I should get one.
-
Not played it, but Mario Maker is weird, no? Level design is (partly) the art of teaching mechanics, and players know Mario already.
-
It follows that great Mario Maker levels will invent new mechanics with Mario mechanics and teach those. I hear that Metroid level did that.
-
Also I want to play a really good Mario Maker Knytt-like.
-
@whitingjp Yeah, for sure! But certainly it's the first place I start (in part because of yr influence).
-
@radiodario Sure! And Kaizo levels are great. Although I think they're much better when they're trying to be funny first, and hard second.
-
@MagInTheSmoke I might well do! Tho actually it's Splatoon I'd play first.
-
@zerstoerer I mean, I know exactly why they didn't...
-
@dreamfeeel haha! Does it sound better if I talk about it in terms of telling a joke? Teaching expectations and then subverting them.
-
@radiodario Yeah, exactly. When the level design is having a conversation with you. I thought you'd jump there, so I put this beyond it.
-
@radiodario "My expectations were confounded, and from thence the humour arose" as Lee & Herring once said.
-
@smestorp Mario tools have been used to build things in Mario-style. Now we can build the non-Mario things the Mario tools allow.
-
tuned out of office conversation for a sec, and when i came back it was "but i don't wanna suck the Queen, man!"
-
@dreamfeeel one of my favourite bits of game design is a level of Jelly No Puzzle. After many deep, tricky levels, it gives you a level that
-
@dreamfeeel basically solves itself - but, still, like the ones before, demonstrates a new wrinkle to the mechanics.
-
@dreamfeeel I like it because the creator's joy in discovering this neat trick they can do shines through so clearly.
-
@infovore i found one! kazbarsystemsinc.com/analogue-solutions-joystick-unsprung-eurorack-joystick-controller-module/ stupid expensive, ofc, but maybe it provides hope?

@PressFiretoWin good thing you're recording them all, right?
-
@alicemazzy my reading is a bit different: bad actors drive out good, people with other communities are the first to leave
-
@alicemazzy and those are the least likely to be abused or abusive (which are obviously correlated)
-
@alicemazzy this kind of "community" is esp vulnerable as there's v weak social barriers to joining, and weak social signalling of norms
-
@alicemazzy upholding personal autonomy is great and all, but I'd prefer to live and work with people I don't think are knobheads.
-
@alicemazzy normally I do this by stopping being around groups with knobheads in, but I'm trying to get better at ostracizing them instead.
-
@alicemazzy (where appropriate, obviously) (appropriateness is related to my power within the group and the group's professional importance)
-
@alicemazzy guess this is a typical political thing of agreeing on a problem but the solutions being either more or less of the same thing
-
Last minute prep for my bot workshop at Pop-Up Arcade today incidentally reveals that there are currently 291 CBDQ bots active.
-
@alicemazzy Sure, I agree there. The problem is that once that stuff starts happening, people who aren't interested in powerplays won't join
-
@alicemazzy Whereas other (I'd call healthy) communities would have enough powerful, reasonable people to not let those people take control.

@alicemazzy sure, i see that. but those are people already within that system- if you're on the fringes & have other options, it's different

@maltron3D tho come for the thursday, cuz, uh, some stuff will happen then.
-
@deathmtn I feel this! Nowadays most all of the projects I start are carefully designed to be collaborations and or have fixed boxes of time
-
@deathmtn very very rarely will I start a project that can be an open-ended commitment of resources
-
@deathmtn but yeah - the half finished stuff i have done have helped me massively when actually doing that stuff later.
-
@deathmtn aye, i can see that! mostly the benefit is in "oh, i can do that" "oh, i've messed with that before" "i was thinking about ___"
-
@smestorp haha. i think i've moved a bit closer, actually - the specific inspiration was the Overground just north of Hoxton station.
