(3/4) -Seek feedback, take notes. Play your own game 100 times over. Watch others get frustrated, and change whatever causes that. -Accessibility features, with a vision of the player in mind. Where are they, what compels them to this? Make it easy to play, so the difficult stuff is not so bad!

(2/4) -Infrastructure to make it easy to iterate on and add variety to basic function. Different obstacles, stat changes… Build the system, and (if non-competitive) let the random number generator do the heavy lifting.

I often worry that I'm not yet good enough at drawing POC and POC-coded characters. Just in case, I want to make it known that I try to research the historical meaning behind my designs, and I practice to improve. I'll never give up on my beautiful fictional Black-coded women from outer space...

Some of my stories deal with harsh situations that have historical connections with racism. These can be uncomfortable for me- but I refuse to give up on, to sideline, or to sanitize my characters if not necessary. I could run into some problematic implications; As always, feedback helps.

Earth is like our part of God. It's like a huge body; Messing with its composition will poison it. A sick environment can't properly create and take care of plants, animals, and the weather. So please, if God loves you, love it back!

Apparently, my phone has been randomly turning off my alarms, a split-second after it makes the sound. IDK why. My phone was being charged on my shelf, laid vertically. Perhaps the vibration could either be shaking the charger or buttons. I didn't successfully replicate it.

Advertising often has the opposite effect on me. If a brand pays to put 3 different ad embeds on my screen, my immediate thought is, "Why are they spending so much of their budget on brand recognition, rather than to actually help the consumer? Must not be a good deal."

Not to mention, the disappointing lack of local businesses in advertisement. Why do monopolies get all the ads? They don't need it! In the US, there's so much insurance, medicine, cars... All incredibly corrupt systems that often favor profit over consumer value.

I find it interesting that most borders on the map trace the rivers, with straight lines connecting them. For example, Texas has a straight border with New Mexico, while its border with Louisiana follows the Sabine River. This makes me curious when I see a squiggly border over forest and desert.
