Gonna stop referring to it as an "industry" and exclusively refer to it as a "biz" like I'm a 1920s traveling circus carnie. "That's gamebiz, kid".

Going to try watching Obsession. Worried it may be a style of horror that I have a very low ability to withstand, though 😬

Beyond parody: "At the strong request of the Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers..."

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The new Resident Evil movie was fun, and I'm glad to have seen it in theater. You know a movie is funny when an audience of swedes is hooting and cackling with laughter.

"The president of the united states of america has AI-induced psychosis" sounds like a plot point of a Philip K Dick novel.

At 20, my job prospects were bleak, didn't seem like I'd make it into the games biz, didn't even see a way out of my tiny home town. I think 20 y/o me would be relieved and a bit surprised by where life's taken me. But not sure about impressed; I still have more I wanted to do.

There's a fun trick you can play on yourself as a game dev. When the development process is hard, just think "It'll sure be satisfying when we ship, though!" And then when you have post-ship blues, just think "It'll sure be fun when we're back to development again!"

Prepping ideas for my next ttrpg session, and I think this'll be a good one: ancient temples to forgotten gods deep in the jungle, fragments of a conquistador's journal, legend of the horrors they awakened, traps and slow-acting poisons, an expedition falling apart each step of the way.

A fun technique for pve encounter design and storytelling is to think as if it's pvp. The enemies aren't just obstacle in the way, aimlessly wandering; they have objectives they are trying to achieve, and it's the player who is in *their* way.

Really happy to see the Quake community has pieced together a coherent narrative from all the little breadcrumbs in this new expansion. Happier still to hear that there some emotional resonance with the vibes ❤️

not sure if it's a spoiler or not so will be vague, but my thoughts on the latest Quake expansion is that I wanted to cry when I found someone slumped against a wall next to a box of ammo, and he told me "take this, i don't need it anymore" and i felt that in my bones and i wanted to hug him so much

More Indiana Jones last night. Exploring the Vatican city is extremely rewarding. Now I'm staring at every candle holder and statue to find secret areas :D Playing it as a stealth game at the moment so I have no idea how the combat is. I threw a spade at someone and they fell unconscious. 11/10

Yesterday I dove into the game rules of Warhammer 40k. There's some cool design going on there: Objective-based play, a objective asymmetry, is a really interesting design space, especially for how it combines with nonlinear arenas.

Call of Cthulhu tonight was fun. God it's hard to fit a full, satisfying session in under 2 hours though.

Running some Call of Cthulhu tonight. The scenario: a millionaire hosts a seance for his birthday party, what could go wrong?

At a café they're playing a 60s song where the lyrics repeat "over and over" as it becomes increasingly distorted as it repeats. Good horror vibes. Waiting for someone to ask if I read Sutter Cane.
