I have just realized you can put under construction gifs in the readme of your unfinished github projects and now I feel it should be mandatory.
@DickWThomas @KeybaseIO I ended up just getting a dedicated server last time I looked at backup options.

7 euros a month gets you a box with 1TB and you can use it for other things as well.

https://twitter.com/Stuart_Lilford/status/1163029265530662913 @Stuart_Lilford I figure farming is not the same as crafting. IE something like rune factory doesn't have crafting (I think) but is very farm.
Procedural Generation is probably too a big catch all, eg shuffling a pack of cards is procedural generation.

this is a great puzzle game although you would probably be better off playing a c64 emulator version... https://twitter.com/WhatsOnSteam/status/1162130005142462464
https://twitter.com/wetgenes/status/1162375985829990402 Skipped most of the dialogue :) but I would say its the best Ys game Ive played.
Only thing I did not like was the breaking of the map into area chunks, often at places that make no sense. Would have felt much more coherent to be one seamless area.
https://twitter.com/wetgenes/status/1162111043579064331 It is good, you should try it, has a nice feeling of progression (kinda important for RPGs) and a pikmin style unlocking of areas (need x people to move obstacles) the fights are button mashes but there is a little bit of tactics to switching damage types and it's very polished.

I am re-watching Blake's 7 because it's less depressing and has a lower body count than the news.

Sticking premade bits together is all that makes sense, I just have trouble doing sensible things :)

https://twitter.com/BradyInstead/status/1161331897739485184 @BradyInstead I know that one. The what did you use questions where the unwelcome answer is custom code.
I'm not sure there really is much difference from the art people who glue tech together for installations and the bizzare framework worship you get from web devs.
If you wait by the twitter long enough, the memes of your enemies will float by
Threatening to ban games is just distraction tactics and I am personally on the "Just STFU and do it then." side of the argument.
Q: But what would you do if they banned games?
A: Harry Tuttle... game engineer at your service.

The only weapons you have are your other teammates and you have to convince them to let you pick them up and bash the zombies with (at a cost of health) and of course vice versa.
