@rocketespresso hey guys, I ordered some urgently needed spares from you on Sunday but the order doesn't even appear as shipped yet. When can I expect to receive those parts? I desperately need my coffee 😬😅

@cliffski @csubagio One also has to keep in mind externalities. Not sure how that works in the UK, but I assume the train ticket price includes a lot of infrastructure costs that one „gets for free“ when using the road system. That said, I figure it’s hard to get this to work in rural areas.

Celebrating 10+ years of making (officially released) games! Proud of all the projects I got to be a part of, as well as my weirdly experimental solo endeavors!

Enjoy this supercut of 30 games in 60 seconds! 🎉

@Ludokultur Impressive!

@corugnoll I’m out of words. So sad! All the best to you and everyone else. I wish I could help.

[Moritz Wagner @corugnoll]

After 12 years Mimimi closes its doors. I'm proud of what we have achieved and incredibly sad that this huge part of my life is over.
Many great people including myself are looking for jobs now. So let me know if you can help.
Some history and memories below this post. (🧵)

@riadd @codecks_io Ah, fantastic! Every indie’s dream…games and PM software alike 😀

[Martin Simons @lunikon]

Boy was I glad when I had this email in my inbox this morning. One could hear my sigh of relief several sectors away (via sub-space coms, obviously). More details to follow!

[Prosperous Universe @prosp_universe]

We are very happy to announce that we secured funds for a new Prosperous Universe project. Read more about it in this week's #devlog!

It's that day of the year again: #AsteroidDay As is the tradition, @prosp_universe celebrates (is that the right word to use here?) with an amazing artwork by @voyager212! Look at the positives of asteroids! 😅

[Michael Olp @quixoticproject]

Happy #AsteroidDay!
In order to celebrate this year's asteroid day, the talented @voyager212 created another Prosperous Universe inspired artwork. Find his artworks of the last years in the 🧵 below!

@Ludokultur @TweetFurcifer Oh, just from that gif I can feel how I would go up to the walls if I ever played this 😅

[Martin Simons @lunikon]

@cliffski 1.4 megawatt-hour battery…that’s a lot of panels 😅

Or roughly what Germany has spent to make it through this winter

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

Controversial take incoming: STEAM REVIEWS DON'T REFLECT QUALITY. Rather they reflect matched player expectations, i.e. how much your actual game matches your steam store page marketing. I feel lots of game devs are not fully grasping this. 🧵

[Martin Simons @lunikon]

@partialcontent I am too old for this. 10 years ago I'd just jumped ship like anyone else. Now I feel...inertia. And the thought of yet another network where a small subset of people I am interested in hangs out is meh.

[Martin Simons @lunikon]

Vielleicht kann @DHLPaket was dazu sagen?

[Martin Simons @lunikon]

@DeutschePostDHL Gestern kam ein Päckchen zurück. Korrekte Anschrift. Empfänger bekommt auch regelmäßig Post und Pakete an selbige. Darf ich jetzt das Porto doppelt zahlen, weil euer Zusteller einen schlechten Tag hatte?
