tv shows pre-2000s would have a gimmick they'd use in the climax of every episode. like if Breaking Bad aired in the 80s they'd be macgyvering their way out of every sticky situation using the power of chemistry like the car battery in the pilot or the bit with the fulminated mercury. it would've been educational

messing with modded bethesda games has me thinking… i hope to one day make a game so deeply flawed yet so fundamentally compelling that people keep trying to fix it

i feel like sometimes the narratives around video games get spread around a little unevenly ie. people will make video essays about Cookie Clicker with titles like "A Biting Commentary On The Nature Of Capitalism" meanwhile Vampire Survivors gets thumbnails like "it's fun to play because you're a FUCKING MORON"

Just going to pop in that the update to the mobile app is so good! Terrifying but also good!

thank u i put a lot of time and heart into getting it just right so i'm so so glad it was worth it and people are enjoying it. i'll get the $5 ad-less version out soon we just gotta sort out some administrative stuff first!

the term "real estate" was invented in the early 2000s to differentiate it from the rising market of land in virtual worlds ie. Second Life, etc

as a kid my options for video games besides macintosh freeware were limited so i'd buy gaming magazines and read the walkthroughs and sit there in evocative wonder reading arcane phrases like "Search by the right of the cathedral to find 1 Echo Screen"

accidental glitch art from a thing i'm working on

one thing i'd like to mention is that since Cookie Clicker's mobile app now supports save import/export you can keep backups and transfer saves between devices and versions easily but it also opens the possibility for someone (not me) theoretically making a mobile⇔desktop save converter accounting for all the format discrepancies
