Casual games are a tough market, because there's a shitload of competition and a lot of it's free. I play Wordle most days. I do enjoy it. The amount I'd pay for it is $0, because there are a thousand other free options that

Most of mine are modernizations/remakes/stealing-the-mechanics of older games with unusual genre mashups or mechanics, that no longer exist. Examples: - Hunter Hunted (asymmetric multiplayer platformer-shooter with vs. and co-op

IMO the UI preferences of people (yeah, often older people) who are bad with technology are often the best for most folks —the rest of us have just learned to work through the pain of other interfaces, rather than demanding better. Most of

Great, since it might be possible, now I'm going to have to look into finding a way to program my keyboard to fix the backlight thing. And here I was trying not to have to tinker with my keyboard :-) (seriously, though, thanks for the

Re 1): There are a lot of reasons it can be reasonable to advocate higher taxes while not donating money to the government. Aside from what I already covered, it might be that a donation isn't reliable or predictable as ordinary tax in

I'm not sure this is true. There are accounts of incredible waste and normalized, office-wide work-dodging-while-pretending-to-work in the earliest years of the post-war white-collar office. They read like they could have been written

That kind of thing happens to me all the time. iOS c. version 6 was a refuge from it, mostly, but they've since added so much more stuff to it (and replaced the home button with a gesture) that I find myself doing things by accident on

It does the same thing it does to the others afflicted by it: it makes you strong, dumb, and slow, with the effects growing the longer you have it. This is represented in the game by causing physical base stats (str, end) to go up, and ment

The first few levels are brutal, but after that your weapons actually start to hit things most of the time :-) The main mechanical difference from modern games, other than that, is the lack of fast travel—but it kinda does have it, it&#x2
