Apparently this lil' guy disappeared from storage bay alpha a few updates ago. He's been patched back in so you can see him. Here's a screenshot to save you the trouble rather than having to replay the entire level.

I'm pretty concerned about the frequency of generally well meaning people meat proxying summaries of local and state level politicians to me. Usually they're doing this to try and figure out positions on issues that aren't clearly stated by the candidate. The accuracy of these has been close to 0%

This clanked out listicle era of the internet has made basic consumer research impossible for most people. You now need highly specialized knowledge and skills to track down credible primary sources for anything. Cool if you can do that, but can your parents? Or are they still "Googling it"? 🤮

Puzzle Depot, PC/Steam/Itch.io - Easily one of the best Sokoban-style games I’ve seen, this game features large levels with lots of screens to mix short- and long-term goals. Typically seems insurmountable, but always makes you feel like a genius. Thoughtful & funny plot, great pixel art and music.

Heck yeah! Iosas is both fantastic, and probably one of the most comparable games out there. I love a good theme-heavy sokoban adventure game like these. And there's not too many of them.

Well it looks like SiX (Seattle indies) is melting down over GenAI, but on the bright side I've found another local indie group springing up AND a trans group over on Kitsap, all because of that! So YAY! (but also RIP SiX, unless someone gets through to the organizers)

Seattle Indies has been widely regarded as one of the best indie orgs for a while now. All the more disappointing to learn of their new embrace of genAI, and the zeal at which they chased out leadership critical of its use in Indie spaces. I will no longer be participating in future SI events. 📉
