I looked at the other focus games on Steam, and you can see that there's a micro genre here. When looking for one, you want to choose based on theming, I think? And you have a nice point of difference with the Roman Space stuff, no-one else has done that!

A list of focus games on Steam: Focus Grove, Camp Focus, Hocus Focus, Hey, Focus!, Focus Group, Deep Focus, Focus Froggy, Pawnie: Focus Pals, Kichi: Focus Together, Pomodoro: Focus Timer, Focus Tower.

i was going into an AI-induced despair hole while looking through steam next fest but then

a game called walk. the capsule image is some legs walking through an MS paint sky, far above the MS paint ground. the screenshots are illegible. the description just says 'it's about walking'

Ah yes, one of those classic rural, hidebound fishermen with a child and *husband* to support.

And the husband is a sailor! Can you imagine? Two professions heavily skewed to male. Surely never anything gay going on in either!

lost my mind staring at all the details at the Wes Anderson design museum show

Does anyone know if this is a real constellation? It's from the Animal Crossing Stargazing with Celeste set so I am not sure it will be

2016 photos is it

Hannah on the street in NYC, in the middle of a crossing. The road is closed with blue barriers. She's got long turquoise hair, a denim jacket, a black and white dress and a black beanie. In the background, a wacky waving inflatable arm man is throwing his arms out wide and Hannah is copying his pose exactly.

we are part of the fabric of humanity and genAI is not

“It really weighed on the creativity of my role, and again, spat in the face of my expertise”, they say. “It wasn't just this though; the tool itself lacks the intent, context, and limitations of what we're doing. It doesn't have other aspects of the project, influences, references, or personal experiences in the back of its mind, because it doesn't have a mind. Whenever we design something for a game, it's drawn from somewhere, influenced by other things, and filtered through our own experiences as a human. These AI ideas lose ALL of that, turning it into an omega-corporate ‘back of the box’ list of ideas and features”.

little adventures keep me going honestly. it's the vonnegut thing about going out to buy a single envelope. i get more energy from walking the kids to school and having five words of catchup with everyone than i do from anything else. my baby friend learned a new sign! that's BRILLIANT!

DAVID BRANCACCIO: There's a little sweet moment, I've got to say, in a very intense book — your latest — in which you're heading out the door and your wife says what are you doing? I think you say — I'm getting — I'm going to buy an envelope.

KURT VONNEGUT: Yeah.

DAVID BRANCACCIO: What happens then?

KURT VONNEGUT: Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know…

And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore.
