In my opinion, Foddians are best described as games that require you to learn a skill while testing your patience. Some involve some kind of platforming challenge, that can feel punishing, as a small mistake can cost you a chunk of progress.

I don’t think calling them “bad on purpose” with crappy controls is very fair, as Getting Over It, Jump King, and A Difficult Game About Climbing, to name just a few, are all extremely well polished games.

Thank you for the encouragement! I’m going to save this post and come back and read it next time I’m scared about annoying people ❤️

Thank you for your kind comment! And for calling my clouds gorgeous :D

I’m not new to Lemmy per se, but I am new to posting here, so I didn’t really know exactly how things were going to display, especially with the automatic embeds that lots of social media sites do these days. I’ll definitely take the effort to add pictures directly to the post in the future! I agree that not taking people off platform unless they really want to would be preferable, sorry!

Thank you! That’s actually really good advice, if you share positivity then you’re more likely to attract positive people! Makes perfect sense 🙂

Well, I’m glad this one is gaining lots of interest for you! It looks like a cool game!

I have my first game called “Enso” in the Steam Next Fest right now, so fingers crossed I’ll be able to gain a little traction too! Do you have any tips on how to promote your game without feeling like a scumbag? I hate the “salesman” type feeling I get from talking about my game online 😅

Congrats, that’s a massive achievement!

Shakshouka! So easy, so tasty, so cheap, and can switch out basically any ingredient for whatever you have lying around! Worth looking up if you don’t know it :)

Yeah, this is so true. I always play with the datapacks from vanillatweaks that allow you to recombine certain block types back into their base type. Like wood stairs back into wood block. Makes it slightly more bare-able. Do you do anything to make it better? If you do, I need to know 😅

I think it’s still simple enough, and actually simpler to get into and start playing now due to QoL improvements. I’m pretty casual, but I do run a server, and the Minecraft community who play regularly seem to mostly be asking for way more content.

My mind is blown, haha thanks for sharing :)

Feck off?!! Is it really???!

The word “utilize”.

I watched that when it had under 1000 views, and I’m about to watch it again because it was sooo good!

<3

This is important, and so good!

If you’re in the EU and care about consumer rights, sign it. Then, when you’re done, please talk to everyone you know, gamers or not, and convince them to sign too!

Oh cool, didn’t know that about GIMP! I’ve always wanted something more powerful than the Action Sequencer in Photoshop. What extra can you do in GIMP?

The Slowmo Guys released a video on YouTube recently where they shot a pistol at a padlock not really expecting it to break, but it did, haha! I think it took a few rounds though.

We literally can’t all switch to electric right now so that’s not a problem 😉 but yeah, if I do try to imagine it, I imagine a world where most people charge their cars at home or at work, so the only problem to solve is upping the charging capacity along certain long distance tourist routes. But we can build lots of lovely high speed rail to help decongest those routes 😋

Oh wow, thank you for the tip! Knowing that will make my playthrough more enjoyable ♥️

Me too! So stoked to be playing it again.
