I've called the process of designing a system from an inspiration set "story interpolation" (middling term, admittedly). I love to use this slide from a talk Tarn gave at Northwestern's Progression Mechanics to illustrate the concept

A slide from Tarn Adam's talk at Northwestern's Progression Mechanics, giving a systemic diagram to the sentence "A flock of sparrows landed and ate most of the pill bugs, but one managed to survive to lay some eggs."

i seem to always be hyperaware of the shame or power that 'being a technologist' carries, its weight rapidly shifting depending on what circle i am around. i wish i would care a bit less so i can just redefine it

why do i have to glance over articles with absolute asocial egoistic men fighting over tiny web; what is the small vs indie vs tiny vs eenie vs meeny vs miny vs moe internet, who cares. no one will want to make a website in this insufferable world. the web might as well be so small it disappears

playing with a way to edit & publish text-first pages that breathe & move: describe effects & transitions, pipe in data, branch lightly

between Twinery, notion-like editors, how kids innovate on Wattpad/ao3

for small narratives, interactive editorials, and more experimental writing & publishing

the language used around league of legends now feels very different from when i was a babbling 12 year old playing around S2. now regularly speaking on priority, agency, 'non-interactivity'... all beautiful to me.. even 'inting' instead of feeding is gorgeous, esp when it is not actually intentional
