Don't forget to bake a lil "AtSqueaky" profile sig into the image somewhere! This'll get shared and re-shared and saved to an "inspirations" morgue on a hard drive or Pinterest, and your signature will wind up being how someone finds their back to you about commissions, jobs, or just more follows.

This is the type of question you really want to pose to players... Not that designer input isn't valuable, but we STUDY games and thus prefer transparency/detail. Worth noting that LoL has 2 info tiers for this and you're only showing the simplified tooltip. Definitely take a look at both.

If you like someone's art enough to share it, chances are, you dig them enough to also credit them and show people where they can find more! linktr.ee/bigpants

"If you'd told me that a 2D platforming adventure with pixel art was going to pull off a similar trick to Elden Ring's map zooming out even further, I'd have been pretty skeptical!" www.xeneth.design/2024/10/fift...

What wouldn't we give for the Idle Thumbs podcast to somehow still be running in 2024, if for no other reason than to briefly hear their reaction to the announcement of "The Legend of Baboo" www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-zV...

*backlog pile shifts and several games slide down* (muffled) "Did somebody say indie game demos?" *head pops up out of backlog* "It's already Steam NextFest again?!"

It's valid to find that frustrating, but I wish other people like me who consume way too many games would introspect on WHY we play. Is it really just to witness all of the content in record time, with as little frustration as possible?

You know that they know that! Part of why some Nintendo designs feel "stubborn" is they're pushing the player toward that "Hakoniwa" Miniature Garden ideal they've been chasing. The version of Echoes that reads your mind when you tap Y would actually have LESS tools and would be very different.

This isn't shade, the game just isn't designed with people that play games for a living on a schedule in mind. They're scrolling to their first order strategy and really FEELING that friction because they have 3 other games that need playing this week. "This is solvable with radials and loadouts"
