Empty Homes 🤝 ABC After voting down increases to the Empty Homes Tax, and creating new loopholes for developers to leave empty homes vacant, and giving $3.8M to developers in EHT earmarked for affordable housing... ABC signs are now popping up in front of empty apartments and lots across the city.

one big tension in game dev and media spaces as the economy happens to all of us is that even most well intentioned discussion and advice takes the capitalist perspective by default, which is not actually helpful to all the displaced and desperate workers

im annoyed with how the guy running this job search network keeps comparing it to dating. bro I can't do that either. can you please use a more relatable analogy? for example how is the job search similar to being a useless piece of shit

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

i thought the people upstairs had been moving furniture around after midnight but i think it actually sounds like a drawer is being opened and closed. i dont know why thats so loud (louder than any drawer ive opened myself; some trick of the acoustics) but its too regular of a rhythm for furniture.

imo part of "make small games" is really "let yourself make imperfect games" when you stop worrying about being perfect you can let yourself try goofy-ass things and see if they work!! and if they don't it's fine. it's not gonna be your last game, right?

this week's rpg experiment "The Master's House" - centers the beloved rpg trope of "boss that talks to you while you fight" - you can play in your browser (mobile-friendly) (windows dl available) - made in 12 or 15 hours - it is possible to get the definitive ending tunditur-unda.itch.io/rpg35
game screenshot. battle view. the player faces a young woman standing in the forest on a rainy night. the dialogue box reads: "i'm not the helpless little girl i was when you found me. it's time for you to accept that."

i saw some people using an online tool to make a collage of Their 9 Games so i did it too. not in order. one is actually a runner-up that only made it on the list because Tunnels of Vextro was not in their search database. so you can consider this My 10 Games and mentally add in Tunnels of Vextro.

you cant trust game devs to have good opinions about video games. theyre too busy making video games to play any video games so theyre uninformed.

bisexual men are always turning back at the threshold to give the decrepit room behind them and its piled boxes of rotting newsprint one last pass with the flashlight, leaving themselves momentarily unguarded against the burgeoning congregation of shadows in the unlit hallway

A right wing politician talking about their own poverty-stricken past always makes me hate them even more. People who pull up the ladder behind them are so much more disgusting than people who've been rich their whole lives and never even considered that the ladder exists.

stuff i think would make a cool feature: overviews of obscure rpg devs' oeuvres, condensed interviews with community figures, deep reads on especially unusual games, spotlights on scenes, jams, microgenres, design analysis (im biased). if you got a different idea, pitch it to us! we're curious!

i'm still digging issue 2 out of limbo but dark world remains open for submissions for issues 3 and beyond. we're especially in need of 500-word features, so if you're itching to sound off about an rpg-related topic, we're itching to platform you

mechanics review tip: "the character is too slow and it eats inputs when I try to jump" -> makes it sound like a personal issue "the game respects your limited toolkit too much, restricting the obstacles to ones that are easy to plan around" -> sagely, systematic mind, Real Gamer

Huge shocker. They did it in 2022 saying crime was going up when it wasn’t, and now they’re doing it again to say crime is trending down. ABC is running a VPD crime analyst for council!
