Liz England @lizardengland.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Never fails to amuse me, but more importantly this always feels fair in comparison to the "95% chance to hit" language other games use. (I know smarter people than me have written on this so I won't get into why). 52019
Liz England @lizardengland.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I never finished BG3 because of an act 3 bug, so I am replaying it. And I never really looked at other people’s play through branches so I've been often surprised at how much you can affect a playthrough. So anyway Gale is cursed by an angry fairy with clown face in this run and I am never curing it 1651
Liz England @lizardengland.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I spent a good couple of hours working out a technical design for procedurally generating weird little guys that half borrows from prior work and half invention and just when I started feeling good about it I had a long pause and realized oh god it’s just a bunch of if statements 5660

Liz England @lizardengland.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I wanna make a game where I procedurally generate a bunch of weird little guys. But really the game part is incidental. I just want to play with procgen again and need an excuse. 131253

Liz England @lizardengland.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I am watching the tv series Heroes from 2006 and it ages poorly but only in the best ways. It is so self serious. Every few episodes they make the bad guys into the good guys and the good guys into the bad guys. Every episode opens with a three minute convoluted recap and ends on a cliffhanger. 3500
