some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

I sometimes help the local café out (chucking bean bags and machinery around. Testing new roasts if they let me) and so far my understanding is that they know more about chemistry and engineering than I ever will.
it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Grateful to say: I've returned to Blackbird Interactive for the next step of Hardspace!
Shipbreaker is about the place of labor in our society. I think it's important to make media that examine that, and possibly imagines a better future.
Plus, blowing stuff up might be cathartic for all of us....

Still one of my favourite "throwing big sweaty iron balls around" circuits. Would love to try this with half of my bw (50ish) but we only have a 40kg after this 32kg bell and the one after that jumps all the way up to 64kg and has a diameter and handle from hell.
