Since everybody was talking about the #CoolS, I've decided to play around with the symbol and the more general “simple #braid pattern” it derives from, mostly to see how easy would be to build them with #SVG (answer: pretty easy, and with integer coordinates all round). The intent in the long term is to use such a design for my next refresh of the “share to Fedi” icon, but in the mean time all I got from it was some cool #CSS borders and #HTML horizontal rulers. Not bad:

Please tell me there's a better way to make the corners of these kind of braided frames.

My time off calendar at work is called "Time and Absence" which sounds like a deleted level from #Braid

Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/braid-anniversary-edition-has-sold-so-poorly-that-the-future-is-uncertain-for-jonathan-blows-company #MicrosoftStudios #ActionAdventure #HotheadGames #JonathanBlow #SinglePlayer #Platformer #Microsoft #Strategy #Sideview #Xbox360 #Puzzle #Indie #Braid #Mac #PS3 #PC

Braid, Anniversary Edition updated to improve Steam Deck OLED support (looks like Native Linux and macOS were shelved) https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/braid-anniversary-edition-updated-to-improve-steam-deck-oled-support/

Braid Anniversary Edition is out now, rewinding time approximately 15 years - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/braid-anniversary-edition-is-out-now-rewinding-time-approximately-15-years #MicrosoftStudios #ActionAdventure #SinglePlayer #JonathanBlow #HotheadGames #Thekla,Inc. #Platformer #Microsoft #Strategy #Sideview #Xbox360 #Puzzle #Indie #Braid #PS3 #Mac #PC

Braid's Anniversary Edition squeezes in one more delay, three years after it was first meant to arrive - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/braids-anniversary-edition-squeezes-in-one-more-delay-three-years-after-it-was-first-meant-to-arrive?utm_source=feed&utm;_medium=rss&utm;_campaign=feed #MicrosoftStudios #ActionAdventure #JonathanBlow #SinglePlayer #HotheadGames #Platformer #Microsoft #Sideview #Strategy #Xbox360 #Puzzle #Indie #Braid #Mac #PS3 #PC

Looking forward to the 15th anniversary edition of Braid (scheduled for April 30, 2024)

The game will be even nicer, and will include bonuses (new level, audio commentaries, etc.).

So...intro after a bunch of other stuff...but the latter is likely to be the bulk of my posting here. I #read, a lot. Mostly (about 55%) SF/F, a little bit of everything else. I track, review, and post on Librarything.com, and pass my reviews to Twitter - I'll be posting them here as well. I also #garden, #craft (#knit, #braid, #weave, #sew), #bake, and (for a living) fix computers. I haven't been active on Twitter in several years (aside from reviews); we'll see if I'm more active here.
