Played Exalted 3e again last night and I was reminded just how much I love the Intimacy system from that game.
Very much one of those systems which I think should be in every game in some way or another.
"Here is a list of things your character cares about" is such a helpful anchor to enable...

Totally ludicrous that steam is happy to allow its monopolistic store to be flooded with waves of tasteless, tacky bullshit, including borderline scams, and yet will bring itself to intervene when a game's artistic sensibilities don't align with their incredibly vague, nondescript values
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I saw some chat about Arc Raiders' use of AI voice actors recently - I'm probably not going to rerecord the talk I gave at EXAG but I thought I'd drop in a few slides about the idea that you can make generative AI ethical by getting people to sign a piece of paper to say you can use their data.

Just got to the point in Feersum Endjinn where the king is playing an "improved" interactive version of Hamlet and you just know that at some point Elon Musk has entirely missed the entire point of its inclusion
