Hullo!

I'm Minitrope, a hobbyist gamedev.
I'm interested in:

- ๐Ÿ’ก
- FOSS games ๐Ÿ•น
- automated game testing โš™๏ธ
- games and gameplays focusing on socialists/communist/anarchist topics ๐Ÿšฉ ๐Ÿด

I'm currently working on "Hasty Melons" a watermelon racing game ๐Ÿ‰ .
(And hopefully I will manage to work more on this in 2018, so I can publish it ๐Ÿ˜…).

Today's : you run a fantasy pawn shop and have to haggle items down to hopefully make a profit. Over time you'll figure out how much things are worth, but maybe that gnome's crown isn't worth as much as you think... Inspection mechanic where you can magnify onto items to pick up on details which prove its authenticity...or not.

My game The Wastes (Windows, Linux) has seen a major update yesterday, along with a 70% discount on Steam. If you like older shooters from the early 2000s that come with bots, this might be for you!
It's also free-software and developed primarily on Linux with new features implemented and fixes sent out regularily.

what naming scheme do you use for your computers (if any)?

Math articles on #wikipedia are just the absolute worst.

I reliably don't understand *anything at all* of what wikipedia math articles are saying, even for concepts that I already understand, have applied and implemented myself.

Like, I don't know if reading about a topic can actually make you understand *less* about it, but if so wikipedia math articles are the absolute holy grail of that field.

In Wales, when it's raining hard, we say 'Mae'n bwrw hen wragedd รข ffyn', which translates to 'It's raining old ladies with sticks'.

In Afrikaans, if you're going to give someone what-for, you tell them 'Ek sal jou wys waar Dawid die wortels begrawe het!' which translates to 'I'll show you where David buried the carrots!'

What are some fun idioms from your language?

The summoning demanded a sacrifice. He would not take what was not given, so he spent years traveling, asking people and animals to volunteer to be sacrificed. All declined.
One morning, he woke to find a demon by his bed.
"You have given years. The price is paid."

reading up on the "Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway", a train which ran along the beach (submerged at high tide) on massive fuckin stilts between 1896 and 1901

i have so many questions. how did it work. why didnt it fall over. why why was the inventor's first thought not "pulled along by cables" but instead "fucking electric train!!!". why the fuck didnt they rebuild this instead of the i360

Boost if you think trains are the best method of transit.
