Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

One of the interesting things about a model railroading simulation like Second Quest is that you can imagine in a few years, it may be hard to tell the simulation from the real thing.

The modder/developer divide just collapsed. @valvesoftware.com and s&box creators can now sell standalone games on @steampowered.com. Royalty-free. No platform tax. No walled garden. @kinshuk.live breaks down what this means for Creation Gaming. #GameDev #IndieGames #CreationGaming

You spent an hour on the perfect bridge, only for a "red error" to ruin it. This friction defines creation gaming. For a decade, player-made mods and community workarounds have been the loudest product signals for what the genre truly needs. Part 2 of my series on Creation Gaming is live!

Why do players stay in some games for 1000 hours? It's not graphics. It's whether they built something. Our co-founder @shagufta.live wrote about the principle behind Second Quest, from national media campaigns to game studio. #CreationGaming #GameDev #IKEAEffect #UGC #IndieGames #SecondQuest

Spent yesterday with some of the most passionate people we have ever met… UK’s oldest model railroading society at the Milton Keynes Model Railway Society started in 1969. Loved their passion for building #modeltrain sets and their excitement and enthusiasm for our game. #miniature #traintracks

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry
I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.
