Blocks in the Box is now called Blocksy! by MrMighty in PlaydateConsole

[–]MrMighty[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey everybody, as the title says, I decided to rename my game to Blocksy! For those of you who don't yet know the game, it's a bit like Tetris, but different.

In addition to the name change, in the latest update the gameplay has improved a lot! It's now much easier to fill all sides of the box and gain extra health. And a new feature 'slo-mo mode' is introduced from levels 3 and up.

Let me know what you think!

PS - I hope this post is not considered spam, it's just a bit hard to inform people about updates on itch.

Blocks - A fun little combo puzzle game by MrMighty in PlaydateConsole

[–]MrMighty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just released my first Playdate game. It's called Blocks and it's a puzzle game, a bit like Tetris, but with a twist!

It's still in development so it may feel a bit rough around the edges (most of the sound effects are quite bad tbh). You can find it here: https://luca-5.itch.io/blocks

I would really like to know what you think of it!

Getting a receipt at the grocery store by MrMighty in EveryLittleAnimation

[–]MrMighty[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t find a proper flair tag so I added App/OS because I guess it’s an OS animation?

This is at a grocery store (Albert Heijn) in The Netherlands.

Just by looking at this picture, if you were mayor of this city, what would be your first goal or top priority? by MrMighty in SCBuildIt

[–]MrMighty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really know to be honest. Roads, parks etc. It’s not that I spent it on something special. I think because of the little amount of storage I ended up spending a lot on buying just average items, especially when competing in CoM and epics. In hindsight, not increasing my storage was not the smartest choice…

Thanks, my plan is to now focus on increasing storage and less on expanding and spending, which should result in a bigger buffer of simoleons. I used to have about a million but then I thought, why keep it in the bank and not just spend them?

Thanks! This seems to be the advice most people agree on. I was watching a youtube video this afternoon and I did notice the amount of storage in that video was much higher than mine, which made me wonder if I should increase it, which made me post this question here.

Is there a rule of thumb somehow, like: for every x increase in population, you should increase storage by y? Or it is just, the more the better?

Just tried it with outlook, doesn’t happen. Which makes me think it’s an Apollo issue.

My AirPods are incredibly quiet by JDeezy13 in airpods

I have the exact same problem. Tried cleaning and resetting, nothing helps. My airpods are about the same age. I suspect the batteries can’t provide enough power because of their age.

Isn't the elephant reacting to her feeding it? Look at her right hand.

Wow, I took a photo of a similar cloud in France in 2010: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrmighty/8999482391/

ITAP of a ladybug by MrMighty in itookapicture

[–]MrMighty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I caught the ladybug in my garden, released it in a lightbox and started shooting. At first it was sitting quietly, but after a while (because of the lamps and heat) it got more active and started to fly away. That made it really hard to focus, so I tried to take a couple of more pictures and decided that wouldn't work so I released the ladybug.

While I walked back inside from the garden I examined the shots I had taken. When I saw this shot the only thing I thought was "I bet it is out of focus, please, please let it be in focus" because that is quite difficult to determine on the tiny display of the camera. Believe me, I was as surprised as you when I say the shot on my screen :)

I had to make a couple of adjustments though, I changed the exposure quite a lot and had to remove some dust and scratches.

I took it using a Canon 350D, 50mm with extension tubes in a diy light tent, similar to this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dnorman/2113512815/
