I’m guessing it won’t have cross-save support as it also does not have multiplayer. Which is unfortunate. I only ever play it with friends.

Oh… no multiplayer. That’s a bummer.

One seriously great thing about the iPhone Duo is app developers are allowing their apps to run in landscape again. I’ve seriously missed landscape mode in iOS apps. As a bonus, they’re also spending a little time making the landscape version look nice. #iPhoneDuo #iOS #development

If anyone is curious how I mock out my drawings, here’s how I do it! I draw little rectangles on scratch paper, until I frame it the way I want in a very basic way. I like to add details as I go, so once I have a basic concept, I take it and run.

RE: mastodon.social/@jhalter/1173737742… This is such a wonderful nostalgia hit for me (and I’m sure tons of others). Seeing some of those old screensavers brings back a lot of memories. I had forgotten completely that some of them actually had sound!

@drawmanda.bsky.social it finally went poof eh? I’ve got a great little mini-fridge these days that I like a lot. Keep drinks pretty cold, not quite as cold as I’d like, but good enough.

Ran sound for a roller derby bout this evening plus an after-party. I think I’m too old for after parties, but then again, I think I was always too old for after parties.

My best friend, Penny, doesn’t usually let me take photos of her. She literally spazzes when I point my phone at her. So, here are some rare glimpses of her weirdness right now! #DogsOfMastodon #dog
This image shows a tan and white dog resting on a red and white crocheted blanket. The dog has distinct markings and bright blue eyes. It looks directly at the camera with a calm expression, its floppy ears slightly relaxed. Sunlight creates a bright highlight on the left side of the dog’s face and body, while the right side falls into soft shadow.This photo shows a tan and white dog with bright blue eyes. The dog is resting on a red and white crocheted blanket, looking off to the left with its mouth slightly open and tongue visible. Sunlight is casting a bright highlight across the left side of its face, while the right side is softly shadowed. In the background, there are several books standing upright on a shelf, slightly out of focus.

Got it for my birthday 33 years ago. Played on a Macintosh Performa 430 with an external 1x CD-ROM drive (also got for my birthday). It was slow to load, but I did not care. I was transfixed.

Got caught up on the new season of #Silo that’s out so far, I kind of wish I would’ve waited for the whole season to be out, but damn this season is really good! I was nervous about the other “timeframe” introduced being a distraction, but nah, it’s cranked the intrigue up by an order of magnitude.

I’ve been collecting pins and buttons for a long time and never really have done much with them, decided to start adding them to a couple different places depending on how much I like them. Then I saw @Iconfactory’s sale on their #tapestry pins and had to get them!
Tho image features two enamel pins displayed on a backing card labeled
"Iconfactory Tapestry." One pin is black with colorful, curved lines, and the other is red with a silver, factory-like design.This image shows a gray pegboard with several sci-fi and pop culture pins attached to it. These include a Star Trek insignia, a Dharma Initiative logo from Lost, an N7 logo from Mass Effect, and a colorful, abstract circular pin. A green leafy plant drapes over the top of the board.This image displays a black backpack adorned with various buttons and pins.
Notable ones include a large red button that says "ADIOS BITCHACHOS," a peace dove button, a button with an American flag design, and a plush green character keychain hanging from a strap (Bob in a pickle costume).

Every time I come across this in my photo library I have to post it. #RaptureHatch
A dumb and simply black and white image of two houses side-by-side one of them has a hatch in the top so when the rapture happens, the godly person will float out. Where is the other house does not have a hatch so when the rapture happens, they’ll be stuck against the ceiling, I guess for all of eternity.

RE: mastodon.gamedev.place/@konstantino… I absolutely loved this podcast, it hit some beats in my head that I didn’t know I wanted from an audio drama. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes cosmic horror or grimy crime noir fiction.

I do so enjoy my conversations with the kid.
A text conversation with the kid. Text follows:

Kid: im laughing right now

Me: There's an internet shorthand for that. It's "lol"

Kid: i know but our texts are usually formal (kind of).

Me:    Dear child,
I find the supposition that our missives are usually formal in nature to be a slight bit exaggerated. I, myself, usually speak in the parlance of our times, of course. Obviously the occasional diminutive of "laugh out loud" would be acceptable. Or perhaps even the proto-version...
"Haha!" would even be appropriate in our palavers.

Yours truly,
Jon

P.S. Hope your summer is a smash!

Kid: Deer Jon
yo yo man i didnt understand shit you just said
urs truly, j

Me: lol

You know what’s hard to find? Unscented trash bags. Even the ones that claimed to be unscented have a vague citrus smell to them and generally speaking I don’t want my garbage to smell like food or the ocean or lavender or anything else for that matter I just take it out before it starts to stink.
