Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I'd be happy they were passionate about anything.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I went from MF to Visual Science (Carmaggeddon remake), to Rock Star North (GTA IV), to Pandemic (Batman), to THQ (Avengers) to Krome (StarWars clone wars) to Sega (Olympics then Castle of Illusion), None of them had a god damn clue what they were doing, nobody knows what they are doing! 211
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Back in populous days at Bullfrog we theorized it was succesful because of the urge to tidy up, to turn the chaos into order, flattening out all the bumpy ground into a nice floor. 320
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Australia should cancel those 300Billion worth of nuclear submaries and plow it all into renewables. If we get off the oil teet, we wont need submarines for the oil wars.. 020
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 15/04/2026@bulkpaint.bsky.social am now 33 in the world at sektori 140
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 12/04/2026have completed challenge mode a few times since but only increased my high score a tiny bit each time. Tried the next difficulty, way too hard.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 16/03/2026died on the final boss final stage. Obviously maintained a very high multiplier throughout, even spent 1M on 2 shields. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I dont even have that card in my deck, maybe I should.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 11/03/2026getting closer.. Died on final boss, round 3. arrived at final boss with 0 shields 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 09/03/2026One thing I often think about is that FTL could have come out on the amiga/ST. 150
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Sir, well played! Back to challenge mode I go! 120
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 08/03/2026am back on no 1 in the office leaderboard. with 9.2M but it was in easy mode, allthough easy mode has a mult cap that makes breaking 9m quite hard 000
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 03/02/2026@bulkpaint.bsky.social 8M at challenge mode and I'm only second best at 5 lives, 9M at experience is the highest score in the office 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I dont think theres any weird RNG combos.. Best you can hope is to get +3 missiles and +100% glimmer collection distance early on.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Sometimes I overshoot the missile and have to get a blaster, the main thing is using the strikes at every oppertunity. I upgrade missiles whenever I can, but also like seeker blaster, and shield zapper, I like laser drones but can find them distracting 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 30/12/2025I get 3 speeds, so I can nip about and collect more glimmer, then its a missile to help with bosses, then a few strikes, then its all in on missile, picking up any shields as and when I run out. 000
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 23/12/2025I have 2.66 M in challenge mode so close.. weird it doesnt have different leaderboards for different difficulties.. 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 17/12/2025sent you a steam friend request, my high score is 5M 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 16/12/2025@bulkpaint.bsky.social have you seen sektori, its the new geometry wars. 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 16/04/2025well damn I obviously dont visit blue sky enough! I needed a reason to play this game more.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Evoids on steam gets a wishlist spike on day 1 of next fest. thats like a 30 fold increase from my daily average of 1 :) 020
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Pretty sure I maxed out Utopia must fall or was close to it. Well I can't see me beating this score again.. @bulkpaint.bsky.social @datacassette.bsky.social 020
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I dont think I'm ever going to beat this run. But Good Luck to you.. For once I actually used up all my nukes 130
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Only just learnt about berserker build. Love the offensive power of it. But high risk 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 12/02/2025just reached 6 watch towers still didnt beat even my high score.. 110
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 10/02/2025well thats better than my highest score on the previous build, so I dunno.. Maybe I got lucky.. 010
Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 09/02/2025How so? Are people forcing themselves to keep playing games they don't like? If I see a negative review with a long playtime on a game I'm thinking of buying I mentally flip it to positive. And visa versa a positive review that's played an hour a year ago. 200

Michael Diskett @disky2003.bsky.social · 20/10/2024one thing that seems to be missing from bsky is seeing how many views a post received.. 010
