That helps! I think there's a messed up part of my brain that's like, "if you don't feel the pain, then nothing is changing for the better." I think I'm also afraid that because I missed an orange light, I did something to cause a red light.

Xo3 (it/its) 🐰🔪 @xoe.gay · 17/08/2026

That makes sense... But my brain is like, "What if we miss that we're doing something that makes it worse!?" I'm starting to think this is a symptom of my control issues.

Maybe someone can fix this in me. Does anyone else have an aversion to taking pain killers because it feels like putting electric tape over the "CHECK ENGINE" light? Like, I know it's not, but I wait until I'm in like agonizing pain before taking even prescribed pain killers.

I remember what it was like, crying and being frustrated as hell over Pokémon pinball. When my kid is getting emotional over a game or toy I try to hold space for her. I see it as practice for the real shit, because sometimes even when grieving a loss I hear stuff like, "crying doesn't help."

Games can be games without a hierarchical result. We must broaden traditional definitions of tabletop games to give designers the agency and opportunity to express themselves in new, exciting, and challenging ways. We should be creating new ways to explore artistic mediums, not shutting them down.

I think it would probably have some legacy aspects or something so players have an opportunity to fix the incentives or something, but I feel like the incentives are key to the broken system as it is.

Also this would take place in America so there's no chance you get indicted.

Well if the game has you adopting the role of greedy capitalists, you'd be trying to get the most money, which you'd get from donations from contractors that you gain the favor of by giving contracts and expanding their budgets. So you *could* finish the railway, but it would be a losing strategy.

Xo3 (it/its) 🐰🔪 @xoe.gay · 04/08/2026

Rayroads looks very close to what I was thinking, but I get the impression that you actually build the railway into space as life flickers out. When the sun finally dies I expect the California high speed rail project to still be far from even halfway done.

Has anyone made a train game about capital using a wildly popular high speed rail project as a vehicle for transferring tax dollars to political ally contractors, ensuring the railway never finishes so they can milk it for eternity? Or are you always incentivized to actually finish the trains?

Houdini's Last Act is a magic trick of an indie game, an investigation of medium hucksters and wavering teammates. It isn't often that we get a small game this handsome or intriguing. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/07/28/h...

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

I got a PnP review copy of Color Jam from @lunarpunk.games and tried it out today. Started solo but then one of my kids came and wanted to help me color, and by the end he was helping me choose the colors based on the numbers! We managed to get the picture almost how we wanted!

Finished game of Color Jam - a coloring page that looks like a paint by number type thing, colored in with 6 different colors - yellow, red, purple (the pencil looks blue and I thought it was blue until I colored my first section), green, pink, and brown.

I was thinking about a fight I had with Big Sticky and realized: arguments aren't always something you want to "win," at least, not with loved ones. That's the genius behind the game Conviction by @xoe.gay. It recognizes that quarrels can have more outcomes than just win/lose. You should try it.

I don't understand how ties make for a "worse story" when isn't necessarily indicative of gradation. I don't see why the granularity necessary to eliminate ties contributes to a better story. The scale doesn't make the story compelling so much as the player interactions facilitated by mechanics imo.

As someone who designs and develops multivictor games, I think there are a great many ways to tell interesting stories with effectively "shared victories" and I'm not sure how the victories or ties really factor into it.

I suppose I don't understand how "congratulations, you got the most points" *does* shine a light on what led them to this place.
