...you know, something I find genuinely impressive in MENACE is how the squad leaders look like the squad leaders in game?

the bad guy factions in MENACE are so well done. I love how they're all uniquely dangerous (though some are more dangerous than others), and I love how the two main human factions are characterized. The Pirates are just such fun weirdos.

in this game, there's an older, super experienced marine (who is also a girl) and when the mars girl lands a really good shot, this experienced marine goes, "Nice shot" and the mars girl goes, "Aww, thanks!" and the experienced marine says, "Any time, Carda"
cute country girl from mars who goes "sir yes sir! :D" then starts raining .50BMG down on the enemy like a thousand metal raindrops of death

One of my favorite modern games is Forspoken, and part of why I like it is I find the banter between the protagonists really amusing
BUT
ALSO
That game has a "banter slider" and you can turn it all the way down, if you want! And I think that's great and more people should fucking have it!

I want a dynasty warriors but it's WW2 and you roll around as Roosevelt, laying about yourself with a combat cane in your magic wheelchair and hitler's top ranking government people are all big bads you have to beat up and Gobels does the anime eyeglases thing where they're perfectly reflective
I say this a lot but playing nioh 3 really does make me sad we don't mythologise our own history the way the Japanese and Chinese do. Give me the English civil war with Cromwell doing silly speeches about unifying the nation or whatever. And he's got a sword as big as his head

I'm thinking about how every artform that I do - music and writing - has, like, technical terms that mean specific things and are used to describe complex, technical concepts with precision, so that you, as an artist, can communicate with other professionals efficiently and deeply

Josh Sawyer has repeatedly mentioned that he kinda wished that he hadn't included the "classic fantasy" races in Pillars of Eternity, but genuinely: I think Eora has my favorite riffs on Dwarfs and Elves since, like, Arcanum?

So, I'm eoramaxxing (playing Pillars 2 and Avowed in alternating bursts as my whims take me) and it's...genuinely shocking how, like, similar the gameplay feels despite the fact that they're totally different

you know, when I first played Avowed and learned about the Ekida, I was a little...leery? It was like, "Wait, so, there's an entire civilization we never heard of, even hinted at, until now?"
but that was a DUMB thing to think a genuine BABY thought

I love Eora because "your kick takes the same amount of mana as magic missile" is not only ENTIRELY reasonable but it's also WHY you can kick bears in the face

Eora is a setting where you can just kick bears in the face and it works and I think that's great

Still thinking about this quote.
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Command and Conquer may be the perfect '90s game. Its main influences were Dune and the Gulf War. It has those post-Cold War brainworms about Europe and it feels like what happens when NATO has to fight Goreans. Completely alien now, like finding a T-shirt of Bart Simpson bombing Bagdhad.

If this is the case, then what possible reason is there to drop 30 bucks on a 250 page PDF?

I'm buying the game because of the synergy between the premise and the text. If you can disregard the latter, then the former is fucking free

I am circling around a thing today, and I swear I'm gonna catch it. Lunging again:
Groups play some mix of the text of the game and their own view of the *promise* of the game, and the further you are into playing the promise, the less the details of the text matter.
