We get visitors every now & then - currently @bosborn Osborn from #Linux Magazine came by on his motorcycle. We had a very inspiring #chat & shared some #ideas! Let's see where the journey will go! :) But: For the next #visit please don't wait 5 years! 😉

From Wolin to Rand: Once we knelt before the dictates of the #marketplace and lifted #governmentregulations, slashed #taxes for the #rich, permitted the flow of money across #borders, destroyed #unions and signed trade deals that sent #jobs to sweatshops in Mexico and China, the world would be a happier, freer and wealthier place. It was a con. But it worked.
#Ideas, however esoteric they may appear to the #public, matter.

Sunday: Leaf

(Yes, I'm on time with this one!)

An exploration game where you play as a pixie, exploring a verdant and vibrant forest by using leafs to glide between trees or sail in creeks and rivers. As you explore you learn more of the culture and history of the pixies, while trying to prevent the destruction that was foretold in the old legends.

Saturday: Computer.

(I work with computers all the time, allow it even if it may seem a low hanging fruit, please 😅 )

A computer hacking simulation with a bigger focus on procedural mission generation and social engineering mechanics. You can research exploits in the background to create your own hacking tools, but to finish them you'll have to solve logic puzzles. Bonus points if there's a story to tie everything up.

I swear one day I'll be able to keep up with things.

Friday: Planet

A puzzle god-game where you build machines that build the molecules that are necessary to create planets. Then you create machines that build the planets themselves in a production-chain style. For every planet you build, you can see the entire machine, from the smallest molecule to the finished product.

Do you believe the moon is artificial? Perhaps I have some ideas for an original story about that.

If you fancy some science, ideas, and humanity in your weekend, I highly recommend the first episode of our new @cosmicshambles podcast mini-series: They've Made Us. Robin Ince and I talk to the excellent Steve Backshall (wildlife presenter extraordinaire) and Helen Glover (superstar Olympic rower) about the people who influenced their lives.

Wednesday: **Dehumidifier**

A procedurally generated farming game, where you have to take care of plants. Each plant type has its own needs for temperature (from ice cold to "cultivate in a lit firepit"), humidity and nutrition.
If conditions are ideal, the plants will make flowers and you can make hybrids to sell and then buy more seeds.

Tuesday: **Shower**.

An animal grooming simulation game: customers bring in their animals (dogs, cats, ...) to get them washed, cleaned and spruced up.
Each animal has its like and dislikes and you'll have to find ways around them. Also each animal will have its own personality, so a "rambunctious" dog will shake more often and try to run around the room, for instance.

If we don't have this yet, we need a website listing #movie characters, their age, the age of the actor / actress playing the part + a picture.
This will help people (not just the young) to see why we think tweens need to oversexualize and 40-somethings look 25.

And a bonus page for heterosexual characters couples and the age difference between the male and female playing them.
