Yeah, I adored the first Control, devoured the main game in about two sittings and have all the DLC done. Was very prepared for it being a very diff game in terms of the melee focus etc but the writing and tone in Resonant feels nothing alike, and I'm having a really hard time with it as a result.

I feel like I'm at odds with the whole universe re how much I really did not enjoy my time with Control Resonant. Too much to really go into, but it just did not hit for me at all. Might just watch a playthrough and hope that my worst fears about how flat-out bad the writing is aren't confirmed.

You absolutely don't have to hand it to Canva, but I'm pretty sure when I downloaded Affinity for my Mac Pro the minimum required OS was MacOS 12 Monterey. Went to check the release notes for the latest update and they now appear to support all the way back to 10.5 Catalina. That's fucking rad.

The best contribution you can make to the RPG discourse is writing your thing.

Sitting online trying not to jump into a bunch of TTRPG related discussions I have very strong feelings about. Really though I think the best thing I can do is just put my head down and get writing again. No point in pontificating about this shit if I don't have anything to show for it.

Yep. Back then it was kind of a curiosity. Increasingly I feel it's kind of an insulting way to pay tribute to one of my heroes. Glad I fi ally found something I can put forward instead.

I would be very grateful if the prestige games industry was capable of making something, _anything_ that didn't make me feel spiritually dead. Maybe too tall an order.

First hour of Control Resonant was awful tbh. Prestige tutorial funnel followed by a shitty boss that's only difficult due to it chunking absurd amounts of damage with no heal. Combat is weightless and dull. I hope it gets better because if it's this the whole way through then I'm fucking out.

There was one bit of AI-generated art on the cover of a track I put out a few years back, and it always bothered me that I never got around to excising it. It's now gone. Fuck AI art, Gridlock forever.

It's the rules that you have to read all the rules, except for the rule that states explicitly states that you can add or discard any rules you wish. That is a _bad_ rule, as opposed to the others, which are _good_ rules.

You've heard of Stonetop, the hit TTRPG, now get ready for Stoner Top, the TTRPG where I, your humble DM, smokes weed and uhh - Wait maybe I need to workshop this one a bit more.

Capitalism seeks to alienate the worker from everything it possibly can, and now that's going to include actual popular culture. Individualized AI media is going to remove the actual purpose of culture, which is established common experiences and interpersonal communication.

Went out for a walk at dusk this evening, met some bats and some cows and saw this cool fucking cloud. Life can be beautiful.
A cloud moving across a clear dusk sky, the last of the light glancing off its underside, framed by the silhouettes of trees.

Haven't put anything out in years because I'm determined for Decree to be something I can put out and be proud of, but at the cost of my own free time and mental health? Fuuuuuuck that. Truly.

Currently thinking about my creative work up until now because actually the drive to be a one-person cottage industry that's expected to go toe to toe with the big guys in terms of content and production quality is all big one act of self-harm. And yet this often feels like the norm in indie TTRPGs.

Sincerely, I think the future of CRPGs belongs to the indies. You got games like Banquet for Fools, Space Wreck, Avernum, Skald etc all iterating on the formula in really fun and novel ways. BG3 has sat in my Steam library for years, and every time I try to go back to my brain instantly checks out.

The culture you foster at the table and how you carry yourself around your friends is far more important than the design of the game you are playing.
