I made a one page rpg for a jam on itchio. Feel free to check it out if you’re into that sort of thing: https://t.co/NJRNXRl5zZ #gamedesign #solorpg #onepagerpg

@PikminBloom It looks like you removed a bunch of churches and, if so, THANK GOODNESS. Playing this app sometimes felt like I was getting recruited to a cult. I love my new secular locations.

@TXChainSawGame THIS is the comment your cracked mod team retaliated against by reporting me to Reddit for a three day account ban.

@TXChainSawGame To your trash Reddit mods in your official sub: Reporting me for “bigotry” when I was calling out bigots in your sub is pretty embarrassing—for you. Thankfully, the actual bigot I called out that you sided with was suspended and had their posts deleted by Reddit.

@TXChainSawGame I’ve never been retaliated against by mods in an official game subreddit before for trying to defend vulnerable populations from abuse so this is a first. I will be reporting your mod team to Reddit. Not sure if anything will come of it but it will feel cathartic.

So, you can thank me for keeping your sub safe from a little bigotry for a couple days. I already told you I left your sub and now I’m telling you I’m leaving this game. Literally touch grass.

@dspuhr @erin_hegarty @Athleticfield I think the attempt to stop this actually made it less safe bc people were doing things hastily while police lurked. The city should embrace it and take donations for clean up on site or organize a morning clean up crew etc etc. It’s my second favorite Chicago summer thing.

@Tanza3D For me, the puzzling part of this action is why we are protesting for capitalists fighting other capitalists. Like, why are we protesting to pay for an app when we could be protesting to make the free app better and more accessible? #reddit #reddark

@Tamagotchi_US @charlidamelio @mmkemio Does this model have a "streetpass" feature where you can passively connect with other people if you are in close proximity or is it more of a manual connection process like the Tamagotchi Connection?

@galactic_neb Lesbians need protection? If anyone is protecting people in the LGBTQIA+ community this month it's lesbians -- as they always have.

It’s especially weird given the primary intended audience for this game is children. Like, yay, monetize children.

@Cephalorock @SplatBon @PsychwardThe Also: Every facet of their digital footprint related to this game is geared to monetizing the fans. Nothing about it is generous. One time I looked at their twitch channel and there were like 7-9 ads for merch. It was sad/funny. They even had a second camera feed aimed at merch.

@Cephalorock @SplatBon @PsychwardThe I would pay $25 to Nintendo to never see your endless stream of advertisements in my plaza again. I want to see silly goofy stuff or clever quips or memes or art by kids but all I see is your ads. It’s awful.

I was really excited about the @SpotifyUSA A.I. DJ but it's super lame. You can have the same listening experience by just putting your most recent "Top Songs" playlist on shuffle.

@legends_game The UI for controlling the army is confusing and really hard to use. I just don't bother with nuance and just make everyone run at whatever I am trying to kill because I have no idea how to micromanage the units.

[Level Up Yours! @LevelUpYours]

@legends_game Suggestions: 1) A toggle to allow the spawned army to have some autonomy and auto attack closest mob if they don't have a directive. 2) A toggle to allow spawners to auto spawn a replacement when one of the army is killed--and it runs to you.

@knockoutcity As you’re trying to figure out what went wrong over the next few months, I’ll offer my personal experience, fwiw. I cold-stopped playing this game—a game I will always love and spent buckets of money on—bc of bad customer service. Specifically: VelanJ***
