Nobody “works for” a billion dollars.

It will reduce their durability, but… Turn them inside out and tumble them with something small and hard.

It’s a Block Pushing Game is a sokobanlike from the creator of Baba Is You. It’s relatively short but has multiple novel mechanics. I enjoyed it enough to create a curses client for it.

PS: If you like Baba Is You, Hempuli publishes multiple new games per month, mostly clever sokoban-likes, at https://hempuli.itch.io/

This reminds me of Meetup.com dying almost everywhere except Chicago where the HQ is and everyone uses it.

And the spec says plaintext usernames should be rendered as links?

There’s a HIPAA exception for actions that cause a person’s death. And, wrong as they may be, some of those people actually believe the fetus was a person.

Finding women for whom my appearance isn’t a dealbreaker. I have moderate to serious rosacea and acne on my face. That filters out 90%+ of women before we even speak to each other.

I’m going to click the [-] thread collapse button on Lemmy 50 times in the next ten minutes.

That area of the chart is for people with really repetitive jobs/hobbies. There are MANY jobs where you do the same 5-10 minute thing 50x a day.

a lot of the invisible language used through game design from that era, I do not understand. There are many things that the game didn’t explain, and I assume they were just understood by players

A lot of the UI/UX and game mechanics from HOMM3 were taken from Sid Meier’s games, like Colonization and Civilization. When you say you didn’t understand stuff in HOMM3, I want to ask if you’ve played CIV6 or CIV5 or other modern games in that same genre?
