Curseborne has potential but it's gotta unshackle itself from hopepunk before it's too late. The hopepunk bitches don't like horror and they like playing characters with any sort of capacity for evil even less. You'd have to cut the entire sorcerer and most of the hungry lineages to appease them

My most boomer take about crpgs: illustrated scenes with text like this still look good and charming years after release, moreso than bg3's 3/4 Cinematic™️camera for every conversation. It's fun if the imagination does some of the heavy lifting for a lighthouse-eye view kind of game. Less is more etc
Left: "The minecart moves downhill, and quickly gathers speed. On the next rise, it becomes clear that there is some form of enchantment upon the tracks - the cart loses none of its momentum." Right: 4 people in a minecart while it races down the tracks, all of them are at varying stages of holding on for dear life

There really has never been a CRPG quite at BG3's scale and budget before and maybe never will again. As someone quite fond of this genre, thank fucking god.

Reading discord post after discord post about Legend of Khiimori has just strengthened my opinion that cozy as a videogame descriptor is so incredibly unhelpful. With one very specific exception: when you need to warn people about the discomfort tolerance of a given game's average player.

I think a lot of people who remain in fandoms for children's media as adults fundamentally misunderstand what we're saying when we criticize something being "for kids" Yes, children's media can engage with serious, mature topics. But it has to treat them like it's your first time hearing about it.

I was just thinking of Dungeon Meshi and how it's part of the tension that they don't know how long Falin has before she's (REDACTED) and all the things Touden Team have to do to survive to get to her. Especially when everyone thinks Laios isn't taking it seriously but we get to see it from his POV

This is a great back-and-forth, and hits at why Harry Potter's imitators and alternatives and would-be replacements have failed at catching the public's imagination the same way. Putting aside the many literary criticisms you can lay at Harry Potter's feet? It's greatest selling point...

time for my new favorite tumblr post
A tumblr text post by user nitewrighter, set up as a dialogue.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

That the response of the American federal government to a leftist potentially becoming mayor of a major city is to threaten to strip him of his citizenship (and presumably deport him to an overseas concentration camp) should alarm literally everybody. But he's critical of genocide so Americans sleep

important life hack for video games
With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike.

By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games.

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Do not obey in advance. 
Resist. Do not offer an oppressive government what it wants. Do not anticipate its needs and offer up what you think it wants. To do so teaches power what it can do.
