This was one of the coolest things about working on the Lord of the Rings Magic set. Need another setpiece? Well there's one sentence where Treebeard says Galadriel solo'd an entire orc army so let's depict that shit.

one of my favorite lord of the ring-isms the movies carry over from the books is that tolkien isn't really an action writer, so we're always hearing about the coolest shit gandalf and saruman did that sorry you just missed it but it slapped it was real anime

tolkien: the monarchy is uniquely vulnerable to subversion, co-option, and general monstrosity. which is why we must restore it immediately

sorry you do have to write to be a writer. if the noun is mostly a verb, you have to do the verb to be the noun

this is why one of the reasons i'm so bullish still on text as a game design medium. you get SO much flexibility if you sacrifice some fancier forms of interaction

Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty @irhottakes.bsky.social · 5h

I think choice is becoming a victim of technological advances and player expectations. If you choose whether Bob or Jim live in a SNES RPG, you’ve got a different set of pixels and text boxes. Now you‘ve got a new set of voice lines, Hollywood tier animations, etc.

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 5h

Thinking about it, the original Deus Ex may be the king of choice in a game with a story, because your choices are significant, linked to gameplay and unforced. From the very start, for instance, whether you use or avoid lethal force against the “terrorists” determines something about you.

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

my very complete turnaround on Commander/Brawl in Magic is very fascinating to me, it would be interesting to write about if I did not have a rule against writing about my magic hobby

marketing indie games can be so hard, and i do not think antagonizing the press and not being empathetic to their extremely precarious circumstances makes it any easier
