For sure! The fight really is still fundamentally about timing attacks and dodges like a Soulslike, but there’s a pretty hefty damage type bonus so if players explore rather than beeline they can make it substantially easier by finding different items

this boss fight i'm working on has been starting to feel genuinely pretty challenging which i'm liking. my fav thing about difficult encounters is they drive you to actually engage with RPG mechanics to overcome #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

finally getting to working on some more environment art. worked up a trim sheet and started making some assets, pretty happy with how it looks in engine with lighting #gamedev #indiegame #madeinunity

If you want to call someone an idiot and say their knowledge is shallow, it should be easy for you to be able to point to specifics, right?

Loose grasp of history? What specifically are you talking about? He is a generalist commentator but can you genuinely say that you know of other mainstream political commentators with as wide a breadth of knowledge of political history from a Marxist perspective as he does?

special care must be taken when trying to face these guardian constructs – heavily armored, a normal blade won't have much impact on them, but they're powerful enough to take you down in just a few blows #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

The constructs roam and protect the ancient ruins the player explores, evidently rusted and aged but still functional after centuries! Like the other denizens of the ruins, they've only been just rediscovered and had been forgotten to time, with the techniques used to make them now lost

Yeah, I mean if it were just the RCV equation alone then maybe it’s worth trying to make it work but they were looking at being locked out of support or resources from AFL-CIO, the state or national Dem Party, etc that made the prospect of running in that environment very challenging

I was backing Tom & Julia personally so I’m disappointed about this news but unfortunately I think there is good strategic wisdom to consolidating the progressive lane in this case. I would have wanted JKT to do the same if he was in 2nd

trissun @trissun.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Doesn’t mean RCV is useless - but if it represents one political faction that is split up between multiple candidates, it’s willingly taking a disadvantage. When you have genuinely distinct political choices like a Click Bishop, that exhaustion might affect both sides of the aisle instead

trissun @trissun.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Robert Hockema claims to have looked at data from quite a range of RCV elections, including ones where ppl cross endorse, from AK, Maine, NYC and seen ~20% ballot exhaustion is typical even in those cases of cross endorsing. I don’t have his data set but I also don’t fully doubt that is true

I really appreciate getting a sense of your process!! It’s the kind of behind the scenes thing I don’t hear talked about all that much
020
trissun @trissun.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
That makes sense! Similar to structuring a D&D session or dungeon in that way, with the mix of storytelling and encounter structure. It’s been easy for me to get tied up in 3D layout navigation and creating memorable vistas and forget a bit more about narrative / encounter pacing

trissun @trissun.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
What’s your approach like? Are you building around a narrative you have in mind, ideas for gameplay sequences, etc.? I’ve been trying to figure out good strategies to get past the blank canvas feeling haha

Dunleavy's petulant behavior aside, it genuinely still pleasantly surprises me that a significant portion of moderate Alaska Republicans with basic moral decency actually exist, and Giessel is top among them #akleg #akgov

Sen. Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, does not mince words in her newsletter today, following the collapse of the pipeline-for-pension deal last night. #akleg #Alaska
I'm going to start out a bit negative.

Yesterday, May 18, was a day that defies description.

Governor told the Legislature:

pass the bill he wants or he will veto the bill for Alaska's workforce.
pass his version of a gas pipeline bill that no one is allowed to know much about, or he will veto a bill worked through 2 Legislatures for the past 4 years.
his veto of the pension bill (here) at 10:48 pm scorns and denegrates the public employees who work in local governments as well as the state.
His version of a gas pipeline defies our Constitution - ignoring resource development for benefit of Alaskans (benefit for a private company), surrenders our taxing authority (removes local taxation authority, forbids financial transparency, logical financial assessment).

The Governor's actions can be described by some very troubling terms that I am leaving for you to come up with. This "transactional" approach is the worst possible way to make public policy.

...

I beseech Alaskans! - Please think before you vote in August Primary and November General elections. Alaska needs leadership in the Governor's seat with the humility to work with the Legislature, listen to Alaskans rather than D.C. and corporations, and is willing to focus on the job. Being Governor is a hard job. Please choose a work horse, not another show horse.
