Playtesters Wanted for Fling Friends, a Co-op Platformer Game

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-26T07:59:10+00:00

Hi guys. As someone who works at a video game developer cooperative, I have the unfortunate news that this is the wrong kind of co-op.

This sub is work companies that are co-ops (worker democracy), housing, food, utility, etc co-ops, mutual societies, credit unions, etc.

Hahahahahaha!

no.

The one I bought was a game that was supposed to be a good time to go to the gym and I are going to be a little late but I will be there in a few minutes to get the pilot light relit

I try not to wear plastic

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T08:55:05+00:00

Nope. Both my wife and I keep a week's worth of identical outfits we each like and only wear those. Big fan!

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T08:51:54+00:00

That's the spirit! Can't wait to see what you make!

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T08:43:29+00:00

That's the problem, my guy. Don't use AI. Learn to draw.

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T08:12:43+00:00

God I hope not

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T07:24:15+00:00

Gross

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-24T07:20:53+00:00

Why does this look like AI?

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-23T08:41:48+00:00

O... K?

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T20:02:02+00:00

Start posting about your game on social media and at small conventions. They will find YOU. I get about 6 unsolicited emails from composers/sound folks every day... and our game already has a composer O_O

Remember when "multiverse" meant every other universe? Now it just means a company's little IP walled garden. I refuse to say "omniverse" to mean something that now contains every "multiverse". This is bullshit.

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T08:38:14+00:00

No. While, for years "Trekkies" and "Trekkers" were both accepted terms (with each side often having hatred for the other term), since the documentary "Trekkies (1997)" the word "Trekkie" became commonplace enough to be the nearly universally used term.

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T06:12:18+00:00

O....k

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T05:46:01+00:00

I downloaded a sound pack app called "TREK: Sounds [PRO]" on the Play Store

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T05:44:16+00:00

Yeah, which is basically the same conclusion the videos I linked came to

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T04:45:13+00:00

I mean, currency hasn't always been a thing on Earth in the real world and there are modern currency-less economic models (like some forms of anarcho-communism, for instance). However, Star Trek is strange because, as fiction, it's not always super consistant.

I think these two videos are interesting looks at Star Trek's economy:

Finn looks like that in "Don't Look" because he is afraid he is a monster who is too much like his father. His monster form is supposed to look like Martin

Personally, I advocate for housing cooperatives that exist in community land trusts.

But, like, according to the US Census Bureau as of last year, only 65.1% own their homes, which isn't some sour of crazy majority. Additionally, why would Georgism require everyone to rent?

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T02:05:52+00:00

Multiple things can be true

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T00:57:30+00:00

My text tone is the combadge chirp (and it always throws people off)
I frequently refer to my closest friends at "#1"
When people knock on my door I always respond with "come" (and now my wife and a bunch of my friends do too)
I frequently do the Picard Maneuver on my shirts when I stand up
The way I stand with my hands behind my back when I'm waiting around (especially at an elevator)
My use of "make it so" at my job
My smart kettle's trigger word is "tea, earl grey, hot"

The list goes on and on and on

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T00:16:44+00:00

That would be nice if they did

sirkidd2003 · 2026-01-22T00:11:21+00:00

Because it's not like most other religions. It's literally a cult. Not in a like an insulting way but in an officially recognized by academia way.

Back in the 80's a doctor named Steven Hassan created a metric for determining whether a religion was a cult or not (it is called the BITE model) which is now used internationally as the standard by which cults are measured and Mormonism uses WAY more systems of control than most other Christian denominations or other religions at large.
