I would go into sensory meltdown and fail every challenge IRL but it is sure fun to watch.

Just gotten obsessed with Jet Leg: The Game. The creaturs turn real locations into races/games as they need to do challenges across the countries they travel in. I've been watching their latest season in Japan and the finale (on Nebula) had me on the edge of my seat. youtube.com/@jetlagthega...

Can't believe it's October already. I gave myself a little jumpscare when my reminder to sort AdventureX meetup stuff came up.

Hi! If we are mutuals and you want to attend an unofficial Meetup Friday night of AdventureX, please DM me for details and a sign up form. This isn't a networking event, it is a nice gathering of cool people. I will likely delete this message after a little bit.

Same, and I avoided all the spinoffs until recently. Caught the first few episodes of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and I was like "Oh, this is why I liked this."

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Heads up for UK folks, The Substance just got added to BBC iPlayer.

A movie poster for the movie The Substance directed by Coralie Fargeat starring Demo Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid. The poster shows a green vial of activator fluid and lots of positive review quotes.

Quick games design lesson: Consider your spaces in terms of points of interaction. (Think consoles, NPCS to talk, item storage or pickups). Here I have three POI placed in a convoluted space. Lets see how a player interacts with them...

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.
