i have no idea why people are "vibe-coding" anything when, from my experience teaching myself how to code this summer, the most rewarding thing in the world is when you spend four hours doing some bullshit that doesn't work and then it finally starts working

a great joy of editing ttbc is cutting out as many “um”s & “uh”s & long silenced as possible. i’ve often joked about being able to recognize my friends’ “um” waveforms

It's Tuesday, which seems like a good day to remind folks that I have a game in prelaunch on Kickstarter: Violent Delights. Use a chessboard and its pieces to re-envision the masquerade scene of Romeo and Juliet. When characters clash, play the scene with a Firebrands mini-game.

This month, we read a series of "micro-games", which is only in quotes because we technically don't think one of them qualifies, but it's easier than saying "micro-games and also a one-pager". Open this thread for the full list because there are 6 of them!

a small pouch made of fabric with a space pattern. a minizine with a drawing of barclay is poking out. text above the drawing reads “bugs when u lift up a rock:”a page from the minizine with redacted text:
“i’m also currently working on [REDACTED] but that’s very lowkey right now so it’s a flamecon secret just for u and me to share”

hilariously i mention this exact feeling about games in today’s tabletop book club episode abt SPINE
a screenshot of an instagram story from august 3, 2025. it displays a tv with blue prince on it, with the caption “finally playing blue prince & honest to god i love a game that makes me feel this dumb. it's enrichment time. i just fumbled this beautiful run so hard. and that rules.”

I really enjoyed this episode for a few reasons. Most of all, I love how Barclay and Bee (1) read / discuss specific endnotes and (2) puzzle out the plot together. Playing solo games. Reading. These are social activities. It's what I dreamed of: multiple playthroughs, discussing with friends. ❤️

it's been forever since i talked about this game. if you don't know about CONFLICT OF INTEREST, it is my original pride & joy. it's a two-player game about spies in a hidden relationship, played out as scenes in their hotel rooms. it's also like three years old now which makes me feel nauseous
