IF YOU BUILD OVER A PILE OF CORPSES, SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL BE GRABBED BY THE ANKLE

I feel vindication in a way that is hard to grasp. To FINALLY wake up to this. A few of you reached out to me, and I to a few of you, over the last year. So now it's the best time to talk about this.

Buckle up.

Mine jaw, it doth drop and bounce away, foorsooth, upon seeing the cover for the USA Broderbund release of Palace Software's Cauldron (1987) that gives it such an air of gothic mystique absent from the fairytale cartoon crone artwork of the UK release.

posting this mostly as a reminder for myself (this is abt game design):

exceptions are good!

perfect consistency and adherence to The Pattern is a prison you build for yourself & will resent terribly!

but too many exceptions threatens cohesion, so keep them rare and make sure they're called out!

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits
we live in a sick society that thinks preventing problems is a waste of time and effort and hey, guess why everything sucks now
