It's always *REALLY* fun when I run into a story that blindsides me with a subject that I myself have explored.
And then I get to go "Oooh!!! So, please, tell me, what's YOUR take on that idea? :D "
Suck it AI, that's something you'll NEVER be able to do!

Okay, I know I promised I'd be off Social Media during my vacation but-
Just finished Clair Obscur and DAYUM was that a great game.

I HATE that I can't send my girlfriend gifts of games on steam, because "Sorry, due to regional pricing, you can't buy this game for someone outside your region". :(
On that note, if y'all want a truly amazing Novel-Game, Roadwarden was a GOTY game for me.

Oh my gods I needed that laugh.
It's so surreal to me because I know that intersection. I've literally walked up that hill multiple times.
And it's just THE most incredible and perfect slippy slidey icy video that has ever been captured on video.

Man, just when I think "Okay, winter break just a day and a half away, finally two weeks to really relax" new problems arise and cause a bunch of uncertainty, and get me worried.
It's a good thing I only have mild anxiety, because even that flaring up sucks.

Man, I love running TTRPGs. Sometimes your players surprise you in way that have you go "... I mean, yeah, that really IS common sense! The people who were about to fight you are VERY pleased you understand their reasoning for what they're up to!"

Good gods, that's two different high fantasy games I've seen argued against with "But this is a medieval european fantasy setting!!! Why it have black/LGBT characters, it so out of place!!" in the wild.
I'd ask why people are making such an insipid/wrong argument but frankly, I think I know why.

Caves of Qud update: poured warm static on my dog, it turned into a dromad trader that comes with guards and items. They are all my dog, the whole trade party and merchandise. I convinced my dog to sell me my dog for free while my dog, my dog, my dog and my dog were standing guard.

.....OKAY, when you put it THAT way, it just makes me even more angry.
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Hot take here, but...
With Expedition 33 being so praised and played...
Can we FINALLY get more Turn-basaed RPGs that actually have skills with fun synergies? PLEASE?
Because it was so refreshing to play something other than my hobby RPGs that actually have interesting skills.

This is a perfect example of how YouTube is forcing people to inhibit language, disarm words, and kill context.
Gambling games DO NOT LIKE the word gambling. They do not use it. That is WHY their critics use the fucking word. To take the word away only *helps* those who profit from gambling

Man, it's frustrating having a story idea I REALLY want to tell...
But I have no idea what medium to tell it in, because every one gives me pause.
Book feels too long. Regular RPG needs something special to make it sing, Tactical RPG means I need to learn a very different plugin, etc. XD

If devs/publishers genuinely believed AI was 'the future of game design', they wouldn't cry so hard about having to disclose use of it on their steam pages.

I know it's futile but man, I do hate this concept of "here's the summary/spoilers/let me spare you the EXHAUSTING EFFORT of actually EXPERIENCING THE WRITING" that we're seeing now. All the furor of "are audio books really reading" and this is the true enemy of a writer's craft. /end rant (for now)

Man, when I said "LLMs keep giving me new and exciting reasons to existentially hate it", I didn't mean for that to be a challenge.
Because every day it really DO feel like it's finding new and more dangerous reasons that I hate it.
