Ah, true! Those can be relly nice. My mind went immediately there, but yeah, the stereotypical デパチカ is on its own category 💯

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
and there are no further consequences (like missed connections, etc). Then it can certainly be an unexpectedly nice time ^_^

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Yeah, and having a spontaneously actionable plan B can prove to be difficult as well, so there kinda always is some kind of risk like that. At its worst, when something was missed weeks before and just can't be fixed xD And at its best, when the extra time lets you do more than you had expected

That's so true! And it certainly is a way to approach travel that quietly deals with a fair bit of the stress people might usually associate with it. I'm realizing that I actually do this a lot, but I hadn't quite taken that step back to conceptualize it. Nice! ^_^

Ah, and btw, the Spanish is correct as-is 👍🏼

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeah, funnily enough, that's less of a problem wrt being (and being perceived as) correct, as that's more clearly a stylistic decision (and, luckily, the sentence does not start with a noun ^_^) rather than carelessness 👍🏼 Glad to help, even just a little bit! Your stuff is great! : )

I get that it might break the style visually, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles 🍪 Hope that helps! : )

A bit of feedback on the German: capitalization of nouns is not merely stylistic (though you might see it omitted for proper nouns, particularly for brand names and the like), so "Rätsel" and "Lösung" should be capitalized like that.

La palabra "dragón" terminando igual que "camarón"? Menos coincidencia de lo que una pensaría 🤔😁

Haven't seen this one posted yet: the site has a bunch of small puzzles, mostly geometric, some classics or twist on pen-and-paper puzzles, and some simple word-based ones as well. New ones are added from time to time. Free daily refreshes with a cheap annual subscription for more. circle9puzzle.com

Mit dem Bild alleine fragte ich mich gerade, was das für eine Root Erweiterung wohl wäre xD

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Ah, that makes sense! I kept browsing through the pictures and it seems like the German edition had, indeed, no spinner and that dice instead. Interesting choice! Also, I had imagined that it could be 5 hits vs 1 really bad hit, but one side gets hit vs the other is a neat twist on a dieroll 👀
021
Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Ah, interesting! Just checked it out on BGG - was it used to replace the spinner (Tank vs Antitank)? Also, something like "It had a red one" has great "who's on first" potential 😁

System Of A Down - Toxicity Live Performance
Alt: Short gif from a video of nü metal band System Of A Down performing their song "Toxicity" live. Middle shot of lead singer Serj Tankian lit from the top right, in front of an entirely black background. The text "the toxicity.." from the song's lyrics is displayed at the bottom center of the image in the manner of subtitles in white letters.

With all this in mind, questions are the best way to understand who you're talking to so that you can meet them where they are and actually give feedback to them, lest one falls in the trap of being satisfied by "saying one's piece" and leave thinking that it was feedback. 4/4

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
It will all depend on what that person has done before getting into game design, though, and how that has shaped their notion of and relationship with feedback. For instance, if they'll take a note on their work personally. 3/4

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
than the external feedback that they will receive from us as playtesters as a response to their answers. At least at the very beginning, when these kind of general questions are things they might not have thought about at all, and external feedback can still be difficult to listen to by some. 2/4

Nico Straccia 🌸 @nicolasstraccia.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
As other have said, asking questions goes a long way Also, the internal process of assessing the questions, thinking through them, organizing their thoughts and voicing them in a more structured manner than they may have been in until then, that alone can be of more benefit to the designer 1/4

Ah, neat. A hybrid solution like that really does seem like the most practical approach 👍🏼
