Definitely not an ideal level, but it was an early run with randoms.  I still didn't much know what I was doing.

Have yet to fight the big zappy.  I want to take him on, but I have a win streak going and I'm not ready to lose it yet.

My favourites so far are Wylder and Ironeye, but I'm quickly growing on Raider too.  Guardian I like but he is super relic-dependant, and in solo his damage can be a bit low.  I find he's very dependant on guard counters.  But sadly, you can only charge guard counters on halberds!

Recluse I like, but she probably has the highest skill ceiling in the game.  You not only need to learn the cocktails, but need to know which spells are worth using, and what affinities they apply.  I need to spend more time learning her.  She has potentially some of the highest damage in the game though.

Executor is cool (I freaking love Sekiro).  I do find his deflect-focused build is a little too slow for this game though.  Especially in multiplayer when enemies are often switching targets.  So I normally play him with a status build (bleed + frost + poison) due to his arcane stats, and only use the cursed sword during a few one-on-one encounters like banished knights.

to get game ideas i just play other games. was playing deltarune ch3/4 and like a million idears came into my head

that being said i dont make games bc too distracted by other life stuff atm. Soon™ though

in terms of making "100 cute games" i think you have to be good at scope management + Just Making Something as opposed to trying to be very perfectionist. esp cuz producitvity in general is very momentum based. doing a little bit of something is a huge step up from doing nothing at all

Congrats on your new home!  My purchase came together surprisingly quickly.  I went from offer to keys in maybe two weeks.  I didn't get a realtor so it was just a matter of dealing with theirs.  Lawyers did their thing, documents were signed mostly digitally.

I didn't do an inspection because it's a condo in a well-maintained building, and a lot of common pain points (roof, hot water boiler) were external to my unit anyway.  Still a bit risky, but it worked out.  Though six years later the dishwasher leaked and destroyed my floors, so that was neat.  Don't skimp on homeowners insurance -- it saved my butt.

I don't know how to design games.  I just have strong opinions on them after they're made.

re: my previous post: buying a house takes longer than expected huh. should be complete by next month though.
