Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I wonder if he/they remember(s) that America is the whole continent, including Canada. 110
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I've recently tried to come back to it after having left it unfinished for many years. Takes some getting used to, but the writing and the atmosphere are great! 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 15/08/2026As good as a person who has no idea about the field, yes? 130

Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Maybe counting the additional value provided by the higher tiers (as in, comparing the money from all the prestige tiers with what would be made if all the backers of those tiers bought the basic physical edition instead) would be the way to go? I'm not a data scientist, though. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Sorry, but why would you multiply total backers by that, and not the backers who pledged at that tier or higher? Some backers only pay for the e-book tier (as I did with Neon Odyssey and I am still thinking about doing for 7PP, even though I don't think it's playable via discord?) 100
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Maybe the standards of passing need to get higher, so that actually getting a degree is an achievement 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Sorry, but assigning homework isn't going to teach those things, either. But if instead of a lecture hall you have workshops, instead of 45 minute classes - working on a project in a group for the whole day, etc., then the impossible becomes possible. 110
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Listen, all I'm saying is that 45 minutes classes + homework isn't the only education model in the world, there are experimental schools that work on totally different models and apparently they are doing OK. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I personally think that the education thing can be a blessing - some research exists suggesting that homework isn't necessary or helpful, and with AI making homework useless maybe there'll be a paradigm shift in education towards alternative models of schooling. Hopefully. 111
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Hey, I was asking genuinely to have good arguments in discussions, as I am opposed to AI, but sometimes wonder if I'm just... Biased? Prejudiced? So yeah, thanks for those. 230
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I'd actually love some good examples of the costs 100
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I disagree, a bit. The Civ I Ghandi bug is an immortal meme. Super Mario Bros is still iconic. Don't get me started on Pac-Man and Tetris. 100

Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 24/07/2026The age of NFTs and Blockchains didn't really have much longevity, maybe this one, too, sill pass. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 22/07/2026No slight intended, but I was really hoping that the tale will turn out to be Ainu or something and the chain will continue. 110
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Do you mean Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nóg, is it a variant title? 110
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 20/07/2026In the first half, the referee ignored or did not show cards for some bad fouls, and I still don't understand what exactly led to Spain's first goal not counting because nothing happened that seemed to be worthy of such a decision. But perhaps the referee decided his reputation is more important? 011
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I mean, a Western bias makes sense, if the East includes Russia and Belarus. But yeah, some strange stuff. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Poland having a lower liberal democracy level than Ukraine is a bit wild. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Evolutionary psychology, in my experience, is a field which tries to guess how things went in the past, without any real way to prove or disprove their ideas, and without any solid way of making informed guesses. Not sure that's the field where we should be looking for answers for our kids. 040
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Hah, I never got myself to read that much 2e despite owning most of it, and there's already a new one. Really hoping for something that expands on the calling dice/clash of myths/unfurling legenda optional rules from Saints and Monsters, but it's probably a foolish hope. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The fact that listening to Byron's poetry generates more stress than an untrained pet bear is the most hilarious mechanical tidbit I've seen in a while. 060
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 09/07/2026It's honestly a bit baffling it's doing so well, but apparently going for substance and atmosphere instead of FOMO traps helps to retain players in the long run. It's also not that time consuming, so you won't usually have to choose between it and another game. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Yeah, but my point is, a fired game developer has an option of going indie on their own or with other laid off devs, while a laid off academic doesn't have an equivalent option. This is not to in any way dismiss the real pain and hardship these layoffs are causing. I just don't like the analogy. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I can't think of a college or a university that was run by 1-2 people in their private homes (maybe some underground educational institutions, but they still needed more people and infrastructure) and I can think of games made that way, which makes me unsure whether that's a solid analogy. 110
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 03/07/2026A great Inkle sale at Humble bundle, including Overboard and Expelled, just ended, I was fortunate enough to get it. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 03/07/2026An absolute wonder. I have to get back to it and see the extended content. 020
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Are there any people who do GOG sale recommendation threads that you'd recommend? Of course I can just search each game, but the deals and discounts differ between platforms, too. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 28/06/2026An awesome, awesome game. One day I will finally make an actual play of it. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 23/06/2026A very good game and a very good piece of news 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The anti-UA people are selling a narrative that UA is a country founded on the nationalist ideology of UPA, the organisation responsible for those atrocities, and that Ukrainians would happily repeat the massacres. And it gets harder to convince people this is bullshit when UA honours UPA like that. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Currently in PL there's lots of people giving their time and money to UA cause, but also resentment, nationalism and RU influence. A lot of the anti-UA discourse is centered around the Volhynia Massacres, an attempted ethnic cleansing of parts of modern west UA targeting Polish populace. 100
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Of course UA is doing things that PL benefits from, but it's the other way round, too. It's not one country doing the other a favour, it's a mutually beneficial cooperation. But the unit's name is a problem, not just in terms of symbols and gratitude and respect. 120
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Maybe there's a collection on a curator's page? 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 26/05/2026This seems like something @eyepatchwolf.bsky.social should be obligated by law to play on stream or even make a video on. 031
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Or they do care but got hopelessly misinformed. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I believe I never wrote anything about you refusing to mention Estonia, I wrote about the juxtaposition of a loving description of a fictional universe with a strange and somewhat dismissive "courtroom on the Baltic Sea". From the PoV of another country in Baltic area it sounded strange, that's all. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Yeah, and I'm just reacting to that paragraph by expressing how one particular thing about that paragraph made me feel, not saying anything about the whole script. Maybe it sounds better in the context of the whole. 100
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 25/05/2026For some reason, that "courtroom on the Baltic Sea" rubs me the wrong way. As in, this text yearns for the fictional countries, cities and places, using their names, but can't be bothered to use the name of the small country the devs are from... 100
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 25/05/2026www.mobygames.com/game/136046/... 3/5 people credited for the art, one of the two executive producers (who's art director now), one of the "editing by" people (now a writing director), the additional writer (now principal writer), 2/5 additional artists, 1/4 developer. Not a lot, but some. 000
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Oh and of course the guy who said that also said "When all this started, I was feeling patriotic, and rooting for my country". No wonder now he doesn't want to think about who's guilty. 010
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Yeah, wonder why a Russian wouldn't want to think about who is guilty and who isn't. What were the support levels for the war in the beginning, again? 120
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 20/05/2026From waking to bedtime is an exaggeration. There wouldn't be a rich tradition of folk music, storytelling, art, ritual, play/games etc. if all the peasants did was toil. 060
Tomasz Królak @tomaszmkrolak.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Ciekawe, ile z tych instytucji przepuszcza dane wrażliwe czy niejawne przez zewnętrzne AI... 100
