if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

I played the demo on my SteamDeck and enjoyed it as a kind of spiritual sequel to Blood (1997). Great atmosphere, nasty vibes. It's got that AAA yammer, though, no one ever shuts up and the objective markers won't leave you alone.

I need to actually watch The Rockford Files because to me it's only a Ben Folds Five lyric and, by extension, a kind of synecdoche for dull and formulaic '70s TV with no higher ambition than filling a time slot. But that might be unfair, what if it's another Night Stalker?

Yeah, this is sort of how I imagined it works, where authors develop story/scenario chunks of various sizes, and the less ambitious players (porno holo-suite users) just load the whole thing ready-made, while more ambitious players assemble scenarios from existing assets or from scratch.

This was a fruitful topic of inquiry for little-me since it gets to two key questions, "what is a story?" and "what is intelligence"? The former gets right into the nitty-gritty of game design, where "good story" is always scraping against "real choices." The latter is basically all of philosophy.

Does the holodeck draw from a pool of story ideas written specifically for it? (Is that what a writer is in the 24th century?) Is it fully sentient and able to synthesize a scenario like I can as a tabletop GM? Is it a mysterious, futuristic "something else," like the Star Trek economy?

This is a great thread, up and down; I keep thinking about being a little kid and watching Star Trek:TNG and really trying to think through the consequences of the holodeck. How would "make me a private eye based on a 1930s noir setting" really work? Who or what is making it "work"?

By cutting out the process of learning, the machine effectively traps the Idea Guy in a feedback loop where he CAN'T get better ideas, because none of his ideas are ever confronted with the challenges that need to be overcome to grow artistically. And it deludes him into thinking his ideas are good.

Alien. Saw it in kindergarten, thanks Dad. Shortly thereafter, I wanted to see Spaceballs, so Dad took me, though I was worried it'd be scary. It wasn't, and Dad and I laughed and laughed...until the diner scene. Then he laughed himself dizzy as I cried and screamed. Right there in the theater, man.

Of course, to enjoy those parts of a game, you have to...know something. To know a single thing. And the AI guys want to outsource all of that. They want to outsource your memories of playing Chrono Trigger or reading The Castle of Otranto.

Maybe this is just me because I'm a game designer too, but there's nothing cooler than firing up a game and seeing that Mechanic X is a response to part of a game from 1995 and Plot Point Y is playing around with a story from the 18th century.

Kyle Marquis @moochava.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah and the second coolest thing is how a good game shows how you're part of a shared cultural experience that includes you, other people who've played the game, decades of game design, and millennia of cultural history. Or we could destroy all that for a weird scam that doesn't work.

Last repost also has me chuckling because Colossus, like, he's definitely the X-Man with the highest panels-to-he-has-nothing-going-on ratio, right? Ten years trying to make this completely inauthentic "Soviet" farmboy into a leader when Storm was always cooler and everyone wanted Wolverine anyway.

Last repost has me missing comic writing. I always loved a good caption box, finding new weird ways to juxtapose text and image, to make them play with each other. You just can't do the same thing in pure fiction, even interactive fiction.

I'm not saying there aren't good prose stylists working in comics anymore, but they really don't let you write like this in the big 2. They'll take you out back and shoot you if you drip this much sauce in a superhero comic nowadays.

People still hate hippies, or at least act like they do; I swear half the dysfunction of the Democratic Party is that they're compelled to publicly and performatively hate hippies, hate peace, hate love, because they're all still traumatized by Reagan.

When I was a kid in the '80s there was all this evidence still around of hippie optimism, Earth Day stuff, guides to world cultures, folk music and art, alternatives to how we were expected to live. And if you listened with the right kind of ears you could hear Reagan laughing and laughing.

I dislike the aesthetics of the '70s (I suspect I was trained to do so, and I haven't shaken my early prejudices) but it's interesting to go back 50 years and see how much people really believed in the American project, in the future, in a better world being possible, even as that became impossible.
