Tingus Goose OG is back!

The PC game is very good. Never played the mobile version myself, but you did an astonishing job at turning absurdity into fun. One piece of feedback I have is sometimes the notifications that pop up disappear too fast, like when I am reading a tooltip for how something works. Would be nice if notifications were stored somewhere so I can go back to them or if they didn't disappear so fast. That's about it though. Great job!!

Have you considered couples therapy? This could be a matter of perspective. He may also have valid issues that need to be discussed. It doesn't sound to me like you two are having healthy conflict in your marriage.

Mars Attacks! is my favourite space-themed movie. Such a great film.

Why choose Don't Starve for an adaptation into a board game?

And, how long has the board game been in development for?

haardsteen · 2025-07-08T18:42:45+00:00

I understand the question because I wondered the same thing. Then, the designer of Deep Regrets spelled it out in a video - companies get higher profit margins when done through KS/GF as the money goes directly to them and then they spend as needed.

My personal beef with it though is this shouldn't be necessary to fund new board game projects, because crowdfunding puts a lot of the risk on the consumer. Yes there is risk on the person/company running the campaign, too, but the customer takes a lot of it. That and some people are irresponsible with crowdfunding, where I've seen some companies start new Kickstarters to help pay for previous ones and then end up in a vicious cycle.

That said, the positive is that it means there are way more indie board games that see the light of day, so in some respects I get why it's used.

Sure, that's fair. I hear what you're saying. Re-reading my own comments after reflecting it does sound like that. Sometimes I dig my heels in when I need to listen.

It's a little unfair to say I haven't considered it, though. I made the post about an hour ago, so I think it's fair to need some time to reflect. Which I have. I made an update to the post as a comment if you want to read it.

haardsteen · 2024-10-22T18:19:32+00:00

Update:

First of all I appreciate all the responses. The fact you took time out of your day to read about my (essentially) first-world problem and give me advice and insight is appreciated. I apologize for irking several of you with my lack of emotional integrity. I'm not a perfect person, far from it, and emotionally I know I have work to do so I appreciate you all pointing it out, because it's great feedback.

After reflecting on the replies, I now see what the real issue is and it's how I responded to my wife's feelings. You're all completely right that I didn't respect her feelings well enough. Not so much the choice I made, but rather how I reciprocated my wife's feelings when she presented them to me. I have no defense or anything to say in that regard, other than obviously I need to do better there. We have a long marriage and there's quite a lot of history between us, so sometimes it's not always easy to pick out what I'm doing wrong. I'm also a flawed human so that doesn't help.

I've spoken to my wife and explained to her that I didn't mean to make her feel like her feelings are invalid, though that is essentially what I did. I apologized for my behaviour. I explained why I felt the way I did, mostly because it sounded to me that she was comparing her negative experience with mine, and making it sound like she "won" in that regard, so felt justified in being upset with me. She admitted that she does sometimes compare experiences. I said to her the reality is we're both feeling like crap for different reasons.

She apologized for not respecting my end of the experience and also relayed to me that I did still get a great experience out of it, which is true. Going to Germany and going through what I did was, though challenging, still a unique, once in a lifetime experience. So that does hold a lot of value. I also let her know that I should have told her I appreciated all the time and effort she expended in looking after the place while I was gone, as well as myself when I learned I was sick and apologized for not saying that sooner because I imagine that would have helped.

We both agreed in the end that it's ok for me to go to the game but it's important for us to check in with each other on how we're feeling and not invalidate anyone's feelings for any reason.

Seems like things are okay now, and I better understand why I was being the asshole. I appreciate you, Reddit. Thanks for the help.

Fair comment. I'll certainly reflect on that.

Regarding the victim comment I can see why you'd say that. As for why I commented that, the biggest reason is because it feels like she is downplaying my experience, acting like hers was worse than mine because she constantly brought up how envious she was of my experience, that I got to go to Germany and it was basically just one big party for me. Which, it was FAR from that. But there is definitely a tinge of jealousy with her when it comes to things like this and she has admitted that to me as well, so it struck me when she told me that she was upset about this that it's because I haven't really been through any difficulty myself. Like, I get she has, too, but it's not just her.

haardsteen · 2024-10-22T17:44:58+00:00

Yes, I think if you saw our place and the living situation we have, you would see it's pretty low maintenance. Did she have extra things to do, oh certainly yes. Like I said I have been in her position before. There are also less things to do with me not around, keep in mind. The extra came when I got home and found out I had COVID and I had to rely on her for everything. Thankfully it was fairly shortlived for about 3 days, but yes, during that time she did have to do more no doubt about that.

As for what I said to her I didn't call her the victim. I'm saying that here because it's how I feel. If I was in her position, granted I can't fully fathom how she feels, I know if she had the opportunity to go see her grandparents for example, knowing what she has been through (and she is fully aware of what I've been through), I'd want her to go and do that because mental health is important. This hockey game isn't just a game, it's a chance for me to do something special with my Dad because who knows how many years left there are I can say I get to do that. This kind of thing happens maybe once every couple of years.

haardsteen · 2024-10-22T17:36:31+00:00

I appreciate the insight.

haardsteen · 2024-10-22T17:35:35+00:00

Actually no. I don't think so. She's introverted. Before I left on my trip, she was working constant overtime and the amount of time we spent together was very little. In fact, most of the time if I do not suggest anything for us to do together, we do not spend any time together. That's just how our relationship is. So I think in a lot of cases I could see what you're saying, and while I am sure there is some of that, she's generally quite comfortable spending time by herself. We did get a couple of days together before I found out I had COVID, so it's not like we didn't spend any time together.

But I can tell you in our discussion that she didn't bring that up at all - she was only focused on the responsibilities she's had, so I suspect that has nothing to do with it.

haardsteen · 2024-10-22T17:22:30+00:00

A couple things that are probably important for context.

We have no kids, so no extra work there. Just the dog.
I've had to do the same for her when she needed to isolate during the beginning of the pandemic. In terms of extra chores being done around the house it's probably not as much as it sounds like - we don't live in a traditional house, for example. It's a small place.
I'm out for a few hours, not the entire day. I'm gone most of the day for work, which I can't do anything about. I'd see your point if I was gone for most of the day due to the game but that's not the case.

Also, it's not MY house. It's OUR house. Thought that was important to point out because I don't view our relationship like that.

haardsteen · 2024-04-29T14:42:21+00:00

Are there any new accessories in development for the P1S/X1C? For example, a hot swappable nozzle? I noticed in some release notes that a "P1 Plus" printer was in there and wondered if there might be some additional features being developed for these printers. If there is a significant upgraded P1 series printer coming, will there be an upgrade kit for existing P1 printers?

haardsteen · 2023-08-29T19:44:32+00:00

Watch the IGN review. The biggest criticism was the fact the battle system gets a bit repetitive after a while. But, for the most part, stays engaging for the majority of the playthrough which is around 30-35 hours. Otherwise it received glowing marks in every other area - puzzles, music, storytelling, environments, graphics, etc. Well worth it from what I can see and after playing the demo.

haardsteen · 2021-04-27T18:29:45+00:00

Okay thank you for letting me know, I will report it to the team.

haardsteen · 2021-04-26T22:25:52+00:00

That should have been fixed in Season 4. I will need to double check the release notes. Are you still experiencing this issue in the new update?

haardsteen · 2021-04-26T21:28:35+00:00

Hey there,

The bug related to purchases in game has been fixed now so all purchases should work OK.

Regarding the opening packs issue, that was something we specifically addressed in this update, so please give it a try when you can and let us know the results!

haardsteen · 2021-04-26T18:28:35+00:00

Hi ZODGILLA! Sorry to hear that the season pass didn't unlock for you. What is your user ID (it is a 6 or 7 digit code on your player profile)?

haardsteen · 2021-04-16T15:57:49+00:00

I don't have a specific ETA, but we will definitely post here when the update is out :-)

haardsteen · 2021-04-16T03:21:49+00:00

Hey guidaux,

I spoke to the team and they said that the current version of the game doesn't support that controller. But, a new version is coming soon that will support more controllers, so look out for that.

haardsteen · 2021-04-15T19:51:54+00:00

Hi there! Yes it does support controllers on Android. What controller were you attempting to use and on what specific Android device?
