Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

You can say these movies are about post-9/11 fears over the randomness of violence, and infiltration of crime in suburban/rural spaces anxieties, that they were inspired by the Manson family, etc., etc., etc.... No, these movies are about how terrible white guys ruin beautiful sad women's lives.

That wraps up our first custom rules match. Just swiped every dial to the right (inadvertently nerfing kings and also making a lot of specialists laughably useless). Basically anyone who got an Admiral/Tycoon/Tinkerer had everyone at their mercy. Fun experiment, at any rate.

this game has truly gone off the rails (as I'd hoped)
a screenshot of Subterfuge. You can see the overlapping sentry ranges across the upper-left corner. At the top of the screenshot is Serenity, held by Olive (Joe). It has 355 subs on it. Directly south of it is El-Farolito, occupied by Beige (Nick motherfucking Capozzoli) who is streaming a maddening series of attacks, 6 subs at a time, almost precisely 10 minutes apart.

And, as a delightful bit of whimsy in this unhinged tableau, we have a single driller departing Serenity to another outpost. It has been renamed by Joe to have the laughing while crying emoji as its moniker, which appears below it in the game. 

It feels as though perhaps, in this hellish intertwining of undersea violence, one soul has found freedom, peace, and perhaps a little joy (at least until it dies upon the shields of Nautilus).

Alright a thread of some Subterfuge games that I couldn't export in the past. This was from March 2026: The Tides Keep Ever Marching On and On. This was an anonymous game, so I'm not sure who was actually in it aside from the usual suspects. I'll add earlier games to this as I have free time.

Easy recommendation if you like classic Wizardry-style dungeon crawlers. Imagine Wizardry, only instead of medieval, it's set in '70s Japan and you're running an incredibly sketchy company hiring the desperate, foolish and weird to go on treasure-hunting expeditions into a very cursed labyrinth.

As a kid, Wolverine probably got me into comics, but outside of a couple bits and pieces, the only story that really left a lasting impact was Bill Sienkiewicz's Inner Fury, a complete fever dream of a comic. Mostly thinking about this thanks to the game reviews.
By the time I pull the ammo clip out of his ordnance – a little distrust never hurt no one, especially me – Big’s cutting wood, a profiteer’s smile on his dreaming face. It takes a lot longer for me, and when it comes it brings visions of locked cages being rattled from within. Now, it’s more than just violence bein’ set loose from down deep. It’s inhuman.Inner monologue: 
Nightmares ridin’ hard through my psyche – saddled down with my own hurt – and the 
greater worry a’ that kinda agony comin’ down on anyone else. Dark visions, full o’ menace, shot through with metaphor. Influenced by both pain and pop culture. Born out of ravaged corpuscules and classics illustrated.
A page of Wolverine dreaming he’s Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. He poses heroically on the deck of a ship with a spyglass to his eye. Rain streams down and his eyeball protrudes from the end of the spyglass. Wretched masses huddle and cling to his feet. He holds a harpoon. Wolverine: “Hast seen the white whale?”
In the distance, a large whale-worm like creature crests the waves, holding a sign with a silhouette of a chicken on it for some reason. 
In the final panel of the page, we see Wolverine’s face directly, spyglass still in place, his eyeball comically large in the glass. Behind him, the masses peer over his biceps as he grips his harpoon. His face is almost a caricature, mouth twisted in madness and expectation in equal measure. A lot of great mouth work in this book. Wolverine: “He infects me and I shall have him!”
(There’s definitely a bit of ~subtext~ throughout this book, which came out in like 1993)

Managed to squeeze in a quick run of this and it’s a very interesting streamlined narrative RPG, with a handful of Blades in the Dark-esque ideas (flashbacks, gear), an interesting resolution system, as well as a fun multidimensional setting. Feels like micro-dosing TTRPG one-shots 😅

Alright, this might be my patch note/update in quite some time. This is from the latest update to Chaos Front (a very good game that I like an awful lot):
"In this game, we play as mercenaries. The protagonists can actively work to solve problems and help a faction achieve victory. Or they can drift with the current, hopping between factions purely for the rewards. But mercenaries without ideals will ultimately let the world slide toward ruin, and they will never be the protagonists of history. Even though many of you disagree with this design, I won't be changing it."
