I love this podcast so very much and I am getting an extra boost of happiness from the conversation around the pitch I sent in! I've had a lot of thoughts about bookmark games thanks to @exeunt.press.

@posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online & i truly go off the deep end at the end of the episode. what if there was a game that was designed to make you feel bad and didn’t stop until it got bad enough that you stopped playing. would that be fun. does anyone want that. it was such a fun design space lol.

i really REALLY enjoyed how far into left field we wandered with this one. what if a TTRPG had a constantly expanding set of players & GMs who essentially had to have council meetings to reconcile the stories of various alternate timelines & also resolution mechanics involved texting your cousin.

the frequency with which i notice myself bringing this energy to game design discussions is... really something. in this episode, it specifically comes up when i basicallyyy decide to sell that actually a really thematically resonant resolution mechanic could involve texting your cousin
