Hey, neat aesthetic! Wishlisted it on the strength of that, alone :)
I’d be interested to learn what your primary influences are, what inspired you, what do you hope the game invokes memories of in your players?
On a more tactical matter: do you plan to support the Steam Deck?
I like to keep space at the bottom, and only 3 buttons in the dock. Most-used, quick access in the bottom right.

Posting from the app, looking great! Thank you, @aeharding, you’re doing amazing work here. Migrating to Lemmy from the other place has been such a breeze with this app to smooth the way.
Happy to! Thanks for posting it originally. FT does good reporting, their paywall is obnoxious.

In my view, the gerontocracy is a side effect of deeper, systemic issues: too much power in incumbency, too much power placed in the hands of the hands of too few, too much power given to money. I would prioritize these three changes to fix our democracy:
That’s it. Everything else flows downhill from there.
Not being argumentative, but according to public records this place is privately owned by a person (or family) who bought it in 1997 (not a corp or LLC). It was listed for rent 2 years ago at $3900 before being taken down a month later.
That’s why I see it as a parallel market. I have a hard time seeing how folks being hurt by crazy rent prices are affected by this home being on Airbnb, any more than (say) a shortage of Ferraris would affect the price of minivans.
Definitely a good fit for families, being able to stay in a house has allowed us to do things we couldn’t have otherwise. We just got back from a trip that would have taken at least 3 hotel rooms (me, the wife, 3 kids, and my parents), and we paid less than the price of 2 rooms for a gorgeous 4BR beach house with 5 beds. We priced it out and it would have cost the same for 2 hotel rooms, which would have meant no grandparents, and my wife and I sleeping in separate rooms, and at least one kid on a couch.
So, yeah, new use cases enabled that weren’t possible before. That’s cool!
As for taxes, Airbnbs are taxed same as hotels here (15%), and the property owner also pays $10k/yr in property tax on top of that (per public records), so I’m not sure what else would make sense there. In some markets (esp cities) I get the concern about rent impacts, but this isn’t the kind of place that is ever going to be a long term rental. It seems like a parallel market to me, but I’m open to learning otherwise.
It was only just recently that the flood of “Airbnbust” articles seemed to abate a little. I can never tell if Airbnb is going great, or it’s terrible.
For my own part, I’m happy for this update. Despite the complaints, Airbnb is usually a great option for families with little kids, where the alternative is usually “book multiple hotel rooms, and split the parents between them.” Price transparency is good, and I won’t book a place that has a task list for me.
Agree, though because the quality of the movies he’s been in have varied so widely I just try to treat each Hugh Wolverine as a separate entity. Like James Bond, or Dr Who, the same character but also separate. Continuities be damned :)
In my mind that was what made Logan so great: it was powerhouse performance, served by a story that was great irrespective of which specific timeline(s) it was part of.
Awesome! I’ll be looking forward to it, thanks again for sharing, and for answering my question!
