game developers must realize our only competition is real human relationships. if we can continue to erode those, our market dominance is assured

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

I wrote a piece on the work of writer and director James Gunn, who is engaged in a pretty incredible ongoing enterprise that despises bigotry and authoritarianism and reaffirms patriotism for progressives. www.vulture.com/article/jame...

James Gunn’s American Project

He is few critics’ idea of a respectable auteur, but his work is more consistently progressive than any other comic-book material today.

I'm such a product of my times that I have to spend active energy to make sense of the effort to preserve the past. My emotional levels are hostile at holding back progress and neutral about keeping old goods. Pretty sure that is an exploitable condition.

Every time I see a social media meme about being an introvert, which is at least once a week, I think about how the modern conception of introversion was popularized by a book by a woman who worked on Wall Street who felt that she was so different and special compared to her coked up male colleagues

8. Let's talk about baculoviruses! This is a group of viruses that infect caterpillars and manipulate their behavior, making them climb, die and then melt into puddles of virus-laden sludge. Gooey caterpillar slurry drips onto leaves, which are then eaten by other caterpillars—creating more zombies

As a newcomer to anxiety this week has been a decent chunk of heavy breathing. I know it's a lot worse for many. I think my greatest privilege was an immunity to doubt and a cold acceptance of bad news. From that I gained so much, but I think I just didn't love life the right amount.

Community-building tip for creative folks. In my follow-up after interviews, I include two story tips for creative projects I have no affiliation with, but I know the reporter will be interested in.

One of my favorite lines from it:

“Anger and depression and sorrow are beautiful things in a story, but they're like poison to the filmmaker or artist. They're like a vise grip on creativity. If you're in that grip, you can hardly get out of bed, much less experience the flow of creativity and ideas. You must have clarity to create. You have to be able to catch ideas."

Political parties could be seen as the same as risk a profile for investing as an individual. The recent shifts across the globe in governments toward more risk averse thinking says something big. It really looks like the world is descending into a tyrannical phase, dark times ahead.

They say the left should fight like the right. Do you think it would make a difference? I don't think that's even related to the problem we're facing where our people are adhering to different stories.

One of my favorite writing gigs every year is knocking out the script for an elementary school's Christmas play, with all story elements decided by class vote. Last year, we had Darth Vader, Loki, and Cruella de Vil seize control of Santa's workshop, ending in a giant lightsaber battle with elves.

"Finding the fun," was a reasonable phrase 25 years ago. Although the word fun isn't one I'm comfortable using in a serious game design situation.
