legalminimum.bsky.social•130 days ago

If you think your publishing label is missing someone with my particular skill set, we should chat.

toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk•130 days ago

Shall absolutely keep that in mind as we're building up! ❤️

legalminimum.bsky.social•130 days ago

I’m very dedicated these days to helping smaller shops get access to this particular set of skills in a way that makes sense for them. The number of times I’ve cleaned up problems that exist because someone like me wasn’t in the mix at the right time…

psychofinger.bsky.social•130 days ago

Wait, Lost in Cult publishes games? I thought you are doing physical stuff only 😳

bumbleborn.bsky.social•130 days ago

Oh nooo, what happened to it?

Tbf I have been debating making a crank less mode for accessibility 🤔

toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk•130 days ago

The lil yellow handle fell off and I lost it! Mine was never glued on properly, but getting Panic to repair it would cost almost the same as a new one, which I can't do haha 😅

bumbleborn.bsky.social•130 days ago

That's bizarre, I'd assume they'd fix that for free, it must just be technical issues they fix for free

Defo fair to not spend the same amount on it again, defo a shame, hopefully fixing it doesn't end up being too complex, I wonder if someone 3d prints the lil handle bits

jaysharpwrites.bsky.social•130 days ago

Big agree! I love the little thing, I'm glad I've managed to convince a few people to think about making bigger projects for it!

5 - 10 more killer games would be enough to convince a lot more people to pick one up I think, and it's already got quite a few!
