It's getting closer to what I want! Going to start adding more destructible terrain and enemy types. Still on the table: magic, livestock, colossal entities / dungeons, crafting / farming / hub overhaul, destructive terrain, and enemy variants. Then I can solve the story problems.
Croplike v0.5.4 is up. Mech combat: a missile launcher, a hook, heat, and bump attacks that shove. Crewed mechs now roam the field and hunt you. Sound on everything, too. croplike.com
This is kind of fun to play with. The missile salvo all lands but I eat an entire payload after my attacks because of the warning grid.
I nocked out 2 games on my play list this weekend. Kynseed and Dragon’s Dogma 2 dlc. Played with my daughter a lot. Cleaned my apartment. Worked on Croplike. Pretty sick weekend!
Don’t know if it will happen today. But big Croplike update incoming. Since Ryan destroyed a deliverable at work months early! Should include ui / ux adjustments, mech combat, and audio.
Sukiyaki Western Django… ok this is the right kind of off I wanted to watch.
the past several years have felt like we've wandered from the societal town square and gotten lost in alleyways where we can't see or hear one another or get back out. now adding ai feels like people are turning into trash cans and broken glass and windows and talking about how much better life is
Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...
I really love how much I have to read now for work again. And retention and context matters. So some these responses are just delightful puzzles!
Sulfur is sitting on my Switch 2 and I hate that I can't play it.
Hows your week going? "I went and bought a can of 'Rockstar' for in the morning." We diving into it and I am playing music from a speaker until summoned to a meeting.
I am the dinner planner tonight. It's usually fun. Maple bacon + eggs with some veggis chopped into it. Since I have my kid all evening alone... I am feeling like more of a $2 Costco hotdog type of chef. Given the state of everything... either works. Try taking that from me evolving work space.
I am so tired right now. I have so much happening at work that it is hard to keep up with in the wake of losing some team members. Looking at the news... oh this is everywhere. Ok. Yay for existing! Good luck and you are all doing great!
I loved this mode. So close to compiler solo.
The fridge is open, eat your heart out.
two months of logs for @croplike.com Around 60 actual humans found the game. 45 different AI crawlers also found it, and made 4,852 requests doing so. So I made some adjustments.
It’s so good here. The vibe this dlc is putting on is exceptional. The environment’s abrasive qualities really are tied together.
the rock colors are /very/ deliberately paired with the snow and ice. i really like this (new?) material they have for subtle, striated rock which sweeps up away from the path here. the way the snow gathers on stone is quite remarkable. i've seen pretty ham-fisted attempts at that in good games.
I get why some people do not care for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The last episode of this season was a gem on handling friendship and addressing problems as an adult. Even for the characters of this show.
Rawr. A week in on what I am calling “swing it like a DND character” work outs.
Started doing mace and club training on top of my runs and archery. Also added in jumping rope a 2/3 times a week. Slowly going to get back to being fit. But ohhhhh does jumping rope in your 40s equate to a humbling experience.
I will totally go to Godzilla Minus Zero solo at a theater. Be screaming at the screen!
If you like fantasy, I highly recommend this book. In the same way that I love the world building in the Ana and Din books. Also one of the most horrific interpretations of goblins in this series. This is technically the third book in the series too.
Not me researching how to hook my switch 2 up to a small projector so I can put the screen on the ceiling and play in bed. Did you fall asleep next the wine weep or pass out?
Caves of Qud is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 which means: 🐭Mouse controls (for humans) 📺 Enhanced resolution 🙌 A free upgrade for owners of the Switch 1 version
Croplike 0.5.3 — the interface is on the same screen the game is. Health, buttons, menus and warnings all pick up the phosphor and the scanlines the board already had. Lit, see-through, cornered instead of boxed. Still in development. croplike.com
