The thing that bugs me the most about that is the reason young boys are made into Witchers and not young girls is explicitly because of misogyny in the books. The whole subtext of the Witcher novels is about bodily autonomy (Sapkowski was fiercely pro-choice in 1990s Poland).

I had a thread where I complained about how "unread" pips in inventories+menus "drive me crazy". I deleted it; it was an emotional take on a complex design space.

Instead I'll talk about:
1: The problems they're trying to solve
2: Why I think they're often a bad solution
3: Why they happen anyways

Hi! I'm a Game Designer passionate about mechanics, combat, and narrative design.

For my job I craft and balance mobile RPG heroes. Outside of it I’m taking IF writing courses running a D&D campaign and joining game jams and collab projects.

Happy to join BlueSky and connect with fellow #gamedevs
