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"

if ya want games to be weird and inventive ya gotta accept that some games are gonna be significantly off-putting to you in how you need to interact with them, while still fundamentally being very well made games.

on top of just muddying what "accessible" game design is, this also results in people calling points of intentional friction, or points when the game itself is opinionated about how you interact with it, "bad game design"

sometimes it does feel like "accessible" has become synonymized with "mass consumable" regarding video games. this is most prominent and prevalent with regards to game difficulty but this does exist in other areas as well.

i should make a program that automatically takes a rant and formats it into 300 or fewer character chunks for the express purpose of letting me write 1k characters and then posting it easier

we literally root for charlie brown every step of the way, he is the main character the show has told us to love. he is who we want to see win. and then when lucy pulls the football away, the show is telling us it does not respect our time as a viewer.

Science isn't a field of study in Aperture, it's a god that is worshipped, and testing is their form of prayer. They are rewarded for their devotion with the miracles of technology. Here is a floor that launches you like a catapult.

I think my favorite gag in portal isn't any particular joke or bit. It's the continued treatment of "testing" as some vague, ephemeral idea. What are they testing exactly? Who knows. Who cares. You're testing. Do the test. Aperture needs to keep testing.

Putting a "describe outcomes in pure rules terms and let the players work out what it means descriptively" OSR designer and a "if you even think about the numbers on your character sheet when deciding what to do I will literally jump out of the book and kill you" PbtA designer in the same enclosure.

cyclical ttrpg discourse is important not only because it brings new voices and ideas into old conversations but also because it allows everyone who has participated before to feel like a grizzled old veteran of being a ttrpg person on the internet

i think the funniest thing about pbta is that it doesn't *actually* mean anything. It isn't like 5e-compatible which means that it is specifically designed to integrate with a core ruleset, pbta is literally just vibes, a marker of vague inspiration, Roguelike is more specific #ttrpg

“If games don’t do this thing that alleviates difficulty, a lot of players might get frustrated or humiliated, and quit! Therefore, it’s bad or even irresponsible when they don’t” is an absolutely bizarre type of take to me. Saying things like this wouldn’t fly when discussing any other art form.

The primary reason I post such frequent previews of games in progress is to engage in transparency with project backers and early access supporters. The secondary reason is so that the incorrigible pedants following this blog will proofread the material for me for free.

still remembering the tinyurl link in the lancer book that links to the 36 page (?) X-card google doc rather than them spending like a paragraph describing what might be the most straightforward safety tool of all time

Factions are such an important part of OSR play because the OSR is full of factions that all hate each other, so we really can really imagine what it's like.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

fun fact! the bugs in your skin are actually vital for maintaining your mana reserves, as insects are actually the only creatures who have developed a net positive mana metabolism! without them, you would simply wither away from mana loss.

Slavoj Žižek has my dream job. I watched him speak in front of a crowd for 45 minutes uninterrupted about whatever he felt like while the host watched helplessly. when he finally finished she said "wise words" and he said "I HATE WISDOM" then started talking again
