  1. New/upcoming roguelite Holomancer is in early access but it looks like there's a demo that I'm gonna try on the Steam deck later.. this is VERY MUCH my kind of game. Twin stick shootery, blasty, little bit of crafting or management or whatever.

    But, yknow. Mostly blastery.

  6. I’ve been hearing a lot about Ball X Pit, and my friends also told me to go check it out. It’s been at the back of my mind, so I was excited to finally try it. It’s a lot of fun.

    Ball X Pit is a game that’s like a mix of Arkanoid if you remember the old game which is the block breaker style combined with Vampire Survivor style roguelite.

    highly recommended.

  11. metaprogression in some roguelites feels to me like a cheap way to give the player a "sense" of getting better at the game without actually getting better at the game. instead of runs becoming more successful because the player understands the ins and outs of the game more through trial and error (like how good roguelikes function!), the runs just get stronger by default.

    which feels kind of insulting to me as a player and a game designer. it's like the devs didn't bother making a game where experience matters. you're instead expected to grind until you have enough stats. to just brute force the game until it lets you play properly. it's like i'm playing a half-baked RPG. blatant disrespect for my free time, and for my potential skill of solving the game, if there even was anything to solve.

  13. Can I ask exactly how this is any better for me to be using than the already large reachability that bsky has?

    Really, I don't know what the point of social media is if I feel like I'm actually just talking to a wall in this app.

    We all said that "bsky was bad" and shit, yet HERE WE ARE FOLKS! HERE WE ARE.

    THIS IS THE TYPE OF SHIT YOU GET WHEN DENSE-SKULLED LIBBIES SAY THEY ARE "gonna fight against teh establishment" AND THEN THEY DO NOTHING.

    I always feel a tiny voice in my head screaming "DO SOMETHING!" every time I see this type of shit.

    I need #feditips . I am actively trying to follow hashtags like #roguelites I'm not a fucking beep boop coder like all of you 30 year olds are. Should I leave? Am I of no use?????

  18. Unfortunately, not really feeling like drawing my character in a game style today. I don't have any time or will! Saving it for Friday instead, I'll be drawing double I think.

  22. Roguelite Games and Motivation in Online Learning

    I recently fell in love with #Returnal, a video game from a genre I never knew about -- #roguelikes -- and I was surprised by the powerful effects it had on my #motivation and persistence through its high difficulty and frequent failure experiences. Here I analyze what lessons #roguelites have for #elearning #instructionaldesign pros who want to make #onlinelearning more compelling.

  31. @polygon has [a good series going this week](polygon.com/why-roguelikes-are) on #roguelike games. Unfortunately almost all the games they discuss are actually #roguelite games. 🤦

    The dividing line between #roguelites and #roguelikes is fuzzy but real, and the fan bases for those two genres are two distinct groups that tend not to overlap as much as their names would imply.

    I’m a new convert to the genre, working on a guide to integrating roguish elements in #instructionaldesign .
