  1. Yay, one step closer.

    Finished the itch tax interview - hoping that all info was in the way it is supposed to be.

    Man this thing is in desperate need of a guided help system.
    And to make matters worse there seem to be no proper guides online that explain the individual steps in the context of the country you are applying from.

    Let's hope it goes through without any trouble or delays.

    PS: what is a good hashtag for things you have to do but keep you from doing the fun stuff

  2. I fixed the save system for Tiny Gardener. It also saves on the web now.

    Also a new placeholder ui to show the controls was added.

  7. I've been getting some weird spikes in views on itch lately. Downloads and browser plays don't have the same spikes, so I'm assuming it's bots or something. Anyone else having similar weird statistics on itch?

  10. @ozoned @itchio

    This might be a good idea to track on codeberg.org/fediverse/fediver

    Note that a couple of years ago a number of #fedijam #fedijam2022 were organized via #itch and there was a lot of interest to participate at the time.

  11. I absolutely love @[email protected] . It's the best way to find new and interesting games.

    I see that #Itch has links to different socials.

    I wonder how difficult it would be, should they be interested, in actually implementing #ActivityPub inside of Itch?

    This would allow software developers to just use Itch as their platform to post their games and communicate with others.

    Itch already supports a comments section. Configuring AP anyone anywhere in the world could the comment on a game as well.

    We could follow a developer from our open socials and when a developers posts a comment or posts a game, we'd get it everywhere.

    Just thinking this would be really interesting idea. I don't know how much work or how feasible it would be, but it'd support developers, it'd support Itch ( by allowing folks on the Fediverse anywhere to follow and know that it's only Itch that you can do this on) and it'd support the wider Fediverse as we whole.

    Love to hear thoughts, comments, suggestions, and even if it's just a silly idea that isn't really practical.

  12. Nothing to do this evening? That's a perfect opportunity to check out Hank: Drowning On Dry Land - now on Itch.io!

  15. On Air Conditioning and Swimmer’s Itch

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Monday we went for a run in the Canicule heat. For the most part we skirted woods where we could, and stopped twice at the same fountain to drink, splash ourselves, and recover from the heat. In so doing we cooled ourselves and stayed hydrated.

    After the run we went to the Plage De Promenthoux for l’apéro, which was mainly chips and a drink or two. We also stood in the water for a group photo. “That’s a lot of shells” I thought. The bottom of the water was sandy with a few stones. It was obviously around 21°c.

    I thought “We shouldn’t be standing in this water for so long, given the risk of duck flees at this temperature, and I was proved right, especially two days ago when I had an unbearable itch that made sleeping deeply uncomfortable. It also made sitting and more uncomfortable.

    ‘Puce de canard’ or Swimmer’s itch is caused by parasite larvae that live within aquatic snails. They are released in 21°c waters in depths from 0-50 centimetres of water if my memory is correct. The parasite larva are released by the host, and find human skin, and dig into it. The human body kills the larvae within 24-48hrs and then people itch badly.

    With 29°c heat in a Minergie building at night the itch was unbearable. The next morning I tried not to scratch. I tried a frozen water bottle applied to areas that were itchy, and then after sun milk. This worked, but only temporarily.

    When the itch is at its worse, is when the body is eliminating the remains of the parasites so there’s nothing to do, except wait for the discomfort to be over.

    Exceptionally I did try one thing. I turned on the air conditioning on for the entire night, while I slept, and that worked, either because my body had finally vanquished the infection, or cooling calmed the skin enough for the discomfort to be lessened. I believe that air conditioning really helped just because it’s cool air. The pores close, and the itch lessens.

    I was last infected by Puce de Canard years ago, so I am not doing badly. Last time I was curious, to understand what the issue was, in order to avoid future occurrences.

    I went for a swim today, so the phobia is either not here yet, or I expect that it was a perfect storm that made me feel such discomfort two days ago.
