Reposted by cindyRebekah Valentine @duckvalentine.bsky.social · 17hI'm sharing this as a mea culpa, because it turns out this game was coded with Claude, a fact that is reasonably difficult to track down for a piece that was intended as nothing more than a quick, fun "hey look at this" kind of thing. 2953384

cindy @bloomedwings.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Maybe it's just that I'm a good Fire Emblem player now, but the fact that I kind of unthinkingly just do all the checkboxes and then have not struggled at all despite being on Hard feels off. Especially when half this feels like it wants to be SMT. 100
