I can't express how proud I am of the entire team. Can you finish the aptitude test fast enough?

Anytime. Sorry for all the soapboxes and long winded rambles… but there are many more to come!

I’m really proud of the team at @destabilized.bsky.social. It’s been a long journey to get here - and the best is yet to come. Go check out the trailer, drop a wishlist, and keep your eyes peeled for updates!

This is a hard pill to swallow. As a player, Destiny was a home for almost 9 years. Thanks for everything, Bungie friends. The memories and stories will not be forgotten. Stay safe out here and eyes up.

Rough day for players and the devs alike. While not surprising, considering that state of things, still hard to see.

A bit late into Black Friday but hey I got three courses worth of Narrative Design lessons up on sale for half price. That's right I've published lessons from Narrative Crash Course and Strangened Narratives course online. Plus Dialogue Design! itch.io/s/171366/nar... #narrativedesign #indiedev

First place I’d look is the Ultima series. Hazy memories of Ultima 3 having crafting. I know Ultima Underworld had crafting (and a few other interesting mechanics). That launched ‘92.

Never considered myself a painter, by any means. Shaky hands, subpar fundamentals. A friend stopped by and had the patience to teach slapshot, a bit of color theory, and a lot of brush technique. After 5 hours, I think we did a pretty decent job. I did Cthulhu and Shoggoth.

Self hosting is a deep, dark, rabbit hole. But it does keep my mind sharp. If you were interested in hosting your own sync service for Brave, this pretty much sums up what needs to happen to keep everything on your own server. It is really that useful? Debatable. mechanus.org/adventures-i...

Often, when we're experimenting & iterating toward a product vision, we forget that there are externalized costs of those efforts. Some of these costs are insidious, only showing up when the bill due is very high. Others seem cheap but cost us a lot in the long run. mechanus.org/why-fail-fas...

Exactly this. I might be able to see the value in brainstorming ideas or blank-to-first-draft type scenarios for a lot of people. But feeling seen or heard by it speaks loudly how much impact loneliness has had on people.

Excited for Marathon. Really interested in how the story develops and what happened to the colonists. PvP isn’t my strong suit, so if you’re in my team, from right now, sorry.

The story is top notch. Exploring the dreadnaught in explore mode has been lots of fun (and MM as well). The court has that right level of hecticness.

A (positive) consequence of thinking about this metric as the guiding light is the organic marketing that comes from it. Players are going to recommend the game to others because of the experience. We all have examples of this - GRIS, Disco Elysium, Control come to mind.

The golden rule of any RPG, take anything that isn’t nailed down that looks remotely useful. Stealing is optional, but if nobody minds, it’s fair game.

It’s always fun when you decide to just cowboy a ‘do-release-upgrade’, as the thing to do while you wait for your coffee. Nothing broke, but there were a few skips of the heart.

Every time I log in to Warframe, I’m reminded how amazing the movement system feels. Destiny is the same way with its gunplay. Control with its atmosphere. What games do you feel have that *one thing* that just sets it apart?
