Back in the day I used to work for a news desk.
It wasn't for very long, and journalism ultimately wasn't for me---but because of it I have a healthy respect for those who do journalism with integrity; and know how to recognise some of the tricks employed by those who don't.

the Trouble mechanic in this game is a great way of maintaining and threatening precarity in a TTRPG, and as a dice math freak i love how it actually uses every part of the 3d6 buffalo
NULL_SPACE is coming out in 🚨 a week and a half 🚨 so let's talk about something else: Trouble, with a capital T.
It's been a bit! NULL_SPACE is coming out in 🚨 three weeks 🚨 so let's get into how one of the core interesting mechanical ideas, Complex Challenges, works.

Valiant Horizon is a game very much about tactical combat though. This one doesn't even have a combat system as such! Instead, all obstacles in your way are handled using an extremely flexible and intuitive challenge/complication system. It can trivially be molded into whatever shape you'd like.

There is no evidence that androids "dream" of sheep, or that sheep are powered by electricity. Your statement appears to be a confusion of the expressions "wolf in sheep's clothing" (referring to a hidden threat or disguise) and Android, an operating system for the Sony Dreamcast

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Wow did a big story about creators in the TRPG industry getting fucked over just drop? Better make it all about myself, the Zweihander guy. You know, Zweihander, from the game Zweihander. Hi, my name is Dan Zweihander, and this is my game Zweihander. Have you tried Zweihander yet? Zweihander

I've seen multiple people actively state that it's good to deliberately overstate their position because it "provokes interesting discussion" or some such. Fuck off! Say what you mean! Don't start shit needlessly!!

People are constantly complaining how exhausting discussion in hobby spaces is, and it's because of these kinds of people. Folks who treasure the idea of "having a hot take" or "choosing violence". Grow up! Cut it out!

Human's first special power was the beautiful folly of rapid & robust group pattern recognition, which let us learn stuff like "there's always food here" & "this plant kills you". It also means sometimes a gal banged 2 rocks together & it thundered so they rain danced with rocks for 10,000 years.
