Hempuli @hempuli.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I've been preparing fresh chanterelles for freezing lately and Fondue has realized that she likes them and has nabbed a couple from the pan. Here's her realizing that I put a lid on the pan (the stove is not on & she doesn't go there when the stove is hot). I gave her one tiny chanterelle later 512020

Hempuli @hempuli.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah, mostly agreed; I think that in a large-scale exploration game, especially if there's a narrative involved, it'd be very hard to manage expectations in an "acceptable" way for getting perma-stuck, though. Even LM had only 3 permanent things of this type (whip upgrades & hard mode) 110
Hempuli @hempuli.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The camera item could be fun for sure for a specific different iteration of the idea! Reminds me of a Super Mario World romhack where the camera is tied to a throwable item and you must solve puzzles by positioning it so that certain things get unloaded/loaded in 020
Hempuli @hempuli.bsky.social · 14/09/2026For the initial brief Exile-based version of ESA 2, I tried to solve this issue by having the world be divided into a grid, with only X closest cells of the grid loaded in. This presented other issues that I had plans for solving, but then I moved on from the concept towards what ESA 2 is today 110

There are currently at least 2 scam websites posing as Baba Is You merch stores (babaisyou .shop & babaisyou .store) that will probably steal personal info. Fangamer is the only official site for Baba merch. I'm not sure how much I can do to contest the sites atm but I'll look at my options 2263122
