Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 14hAmusingly, while that whole potion babble SCREAMS of scope creep, the actual scope creep will be in weapon crafting. On one hand, every new part added increases the total combination exponentially. On the other hand, I want A LOT of types and parts. Essentially it's the same formula though. 100

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 20hThe people out society has collectively decided are most "entitled" to your attention are those who paid the most to have it. Which is why things like social media and addblockers are so important for individuals, but so vitriolically hated by industries. Also why search engines suck now. 000

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So, thinking about my generic fantasy game idea, one of the things I'll need to make are potions. An idea I like is having different types of potion and potion-like items differentiated by the shape and decoration of the bottle. EG Potions VS weapon oils VS Alchemical explosives. 100
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026LRP Overwhelming participating, just as much scrutiny *back* and an overt willingness to call BS *when*, not if, it happens, and then fight if needed. The playbook is clear. 1: They call us cheaters. 2: THEY cheat. 3: They try to hide it and fail. 4: They try to force it past anyway. 100
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The truly horrifying part about fiction is realizing that real life doesn't have the same narrative guide rails, and that nothing enforces the idea that power has costs, or those who have it know how to use it. IRL someone COULD destroy the world due to gaining power without the wisdom to use it. 100
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Slightly tempted to start on my gamedev bullshit again, only this time around make a generic fantasy game. I'm a shameless enjoyer of various fantasy tropes, and incorporating those into an actual game feels like a thing that needs to happen. Plus, basically ALL my old game ideas can be upcycled. 121

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026My mother just told me a joke she saw on facebook (ugh) and the joke was fairly good.

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026So I've made progress re-developing my slimegirl characters. I've decided I'm actually keeping their names, except *maybe* one of them since it's a little too scifi. I've also decided that they're like slime succubi. They feed off the emotions of others, and each has a "Favorite food". 100
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Out of nowhere I find myself trying to come up with a portmanteau of "Twink" and "Reincarnation" purely because it'd be funny in contrast to the idea of "Twink-death". But "Retwinkarnation" sounds like you're raising your identical sibling from the dead instead. 000

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It has occurred to me that I haven't listened to the radio in over a decade. As a result, I haven't heard ANY modern music and have instead happily continued enjoying videogame soundtracks and other older music. And no, this isn't an invitation to recommend songs where they spam one note 50 times. 100

Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Games that intentionally AREN'T hyper realistic are like that one soul from Hellsing abridged. "Just means the friends you DID have were more deserving. It's like your ugliness curated their shittyness" Honestly, I agree. A LOT of games with cult following honestly kinda look like dog water. 100
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Thinking about TTRPGs again, I like the idea of uncapped leveling. Being able to put as much into a character as a campaign allows for. Challenge is, this makes power scaling extremely difficult, especially if characters are allowed to build both high AND wide. You can't balance of level alone. 120
Boop @boopcat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Favorite quirk of PF2E is probably how Battle Medicine's cooldown works when more than on person has it. Namely, the immunity is per person in both directions. IE each person can BE healed by every healer, and every healer can heal every person. Literally exponential free healing. 010
