Man, so many of my heroes in the D&D space stepping up to support our union efforts are just making me so overjoyed today. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up to support us. The stories you tell inspire me, and the humans you are inspire me even more. We have such an awesome community!

On the one hand, yeah, THIS fuggin guy, BUT: if you don't get the chance to tell your story, because someone leaked the details and spoiled it for everyone, that's something that's on the fans to correct, b/c creators can't usually do much once the damage is done. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

Just in case they didn't already know, the Heroes team was the best group of people I've worked with in 19 years of game dev. Incredible talent and commitment from top to bottom, across every discipline.

... hard to articulate the sense of emptiness I feel at learning about what was announced at BlizzCon. I'm happy for devs being able to make stuff they're excited about, I'm happy about the new union contracts, I'm happy about the landscape at Blizzard maybe being a bit better now than before...

(Screenshot to protect the menchies) I think it's an easy but serious mistake to confuse a review with feedback. Feedback is a development process for a work in progress with the dev as the audience. A review is an advertisement (or not) to other players, and that's how Steam treats them.

Person 1:
Hey yall realize that refunds ano negative reviews impact their ability to make more and better qames, right? If vou earnestly want to give actionable feedback and support indie devs without actively hurting their business, leave comments on the steam discussions page. Like. Use your common sense.

Person 2:
Not providing feedback also impacts their ability to make more and better games.

Person 1:
Sure. Negative reviews and refunds are more than feedback. It's also punishment. Like. There are other ways

Giving an indie game a "thumbs down" negative review is LITERALLY a punishment. In many cases due to how the Steam algorithm works, it is a capital one. If a game just wasn't for you, or you have some feedback, please just post on the forums! Save the "thumbs down" for AI slop and other offenses.

I'll admit that I don't have a lot of reason to use AI in my primary operation as a househusband. But I don't use it, I avoid any functionality that appears to rely on it, I look for alternatives that are free of it. I will not use it, because it is an engine for thievery.

Okay, so Bouie's in here saying that "woke" is a term from Black vernacular about being aware of whom society is built to facilitate and who it is NOT built for. Cottle is arguing that "half of America" has decided that it's NOT that, but isn't specific abt what that half HAS decided "woke" means.

The fun result of the recent hyperfixation Context: I just discovered the rules for Bastions in D&D 5E 2024 and have been iterating on them. A lot. Kind of like a minigame that takes place between adventuring sessions. Idk, might fuck around and write a supplement about it #justDnDthings

Screenshot of a table of text in a Google document, with the table entitled "Area Conflict Ratings" that reads as follows:
0 - Clear skies/Peaceful: There is no active conflict in the area, and no threat of conflict on the horizon. All is well.
1 - Partial cloudiness/Pockets of contention: Minor conflicts abound, either as a prelude or aftershock of a heavier conflict. Caution is advised.
2 - Dark clouds/Heightened tension: The potential for conflicts to escalate is greater. Post extra guards, travel with armed escorts.
3 - The storm is coming: A major force is advancing. Double the guard and prepare to fight at a moment's notice.
4 - The storm rages: Active conflict in the demesne of the Bastion; it's not safe to travel by road without heavy escort.
5 - The storm of the century: (in all caps) We Are Fucking Under Attack ("fucking" has a strikethrough marking)

climbed out of the latest hyperfixation to the news of Tim Curry's passing. Right on the coattails of Dolly Parten's passing yesterday. I don't talk as much about death these days because of Reasons but it'd be great if the world would stop shoving so much of it in my goddamn FACE

The burden of proof is important regardless of what you're talking about: crime, science, religion, releases of information, lore.... Yes, video game lore. The burden of proof is about ensuring that you're not echoing a falsehood because someone else is playing telephone/making shit up.

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.

"The indies will save us" doesn't work because it doesn't scale, most especially since any random selection of 4-9 devs with various specializations and flexibilities might burn themselves out making one masterpiece of a game.
