I'll tell you what, "Tales of the Immortal God Ship" is one hell of a slug line.
Excited to be talking about a new game coming soon by Sen-Foong Lim, Di Anne Hong, Calvin Wong Tze Loon, Sean Nittner and myself with @evilhat.bsky.social

maybe basing the economy on incoherent video, factually incorrect recipes, and plasticky pictures of jesus made from shrimp was not a good decision. but we're all-in now. ever forward to glue pizza and towering shrimp jesus

I heard that if you leave a shirt on the floor in the corner after a day's work threshing the fields, it may spontaneously generate a mouse. You can't argue with science.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Last day of PAX Unplugged! Come say hello at booth 4159 if you’re at the show. We are tired and our feet hurt and we have to drive back to NC after the show. But we have games and dice and comics!

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

This is Tenax Vitae by Rinaldo Carnielo (1893).
It depicts a man being taken by Death.
I love the helpless terror on his face, while Death is completely unconcerned.

Which I suppose is as good a time as any to remind folks that Our Brilliant Ruin is always and forever free on DriveThru. If you dig upstairs-downstairs social drama, gothic horror, faction politics, and the impending end of the world, presented with Edwardian aesthetics, do I have a game for you!

Excited for PAX Unplugged this weekend. We've been breakneck-hurtling toward various milestones, so it'll be nice to catch up with people, score a few games, and talk about OBR. I may also commit to delivering one (1) Zangief-style spinning pile driver to a random lucky recipient.

what if we ran our society so that it didn't continually allow bad-faith actors to enrich themselves personally at the expense of the public good and cause mass immiseration
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

At the risk of sounding glib, it seems like a functional society should have systems in place to stop sex criminals instead of elevating sex criminals to the highest public office where they can offer assistance to other sex criminals at public expense.
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

One of the bleakest aspects of modern life is a daily mailbox full of requests for any small amount of aid to help struggling animals, sick kids, or hungry people, while the worst ghouls in the world have effectively infinite budget to make things worse for people just trying to live their lives.

Neon green and pink UI palettes. Pure graybox structures. Obvious placeholder animations. The whole point of doing THIS IS DESIGNER ART textures is so that it's immediately identifiable and doesn't accidentally ship.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

One of the things that VTM has going for it is a very timely resonance with one of the key components of the source material in Dracula. In the Stoker book, much is made of Dracula having no reflection and no photographic likeness. "Emergent technology" of the era caught Dracula out.

On the games side of things, I think this is why the “space debt simulator” genre has legs. Americans get the relatable “born into debt” construct, and can undermine the company they’re freebooting for without necessary accidentally inflicting American foreign policy on the setting.
I think one of the attractions of British spy stuff is that American spy stuff tends too much to the fascist. Le Carré can write about stoic bureaucrats with failing marriages, Tom Clancy has to write about karate champions who end up as the president.
