phil lamarr's pitched-up-for-chapter-1-to-show-his-naivete Ramza performance in WoTL too internalized

i could stand to get better at quipping too

full VO adds a lot more to final fantasy tactics than i thought it would but ramza kinda sounds like a tween pitching down to try and fool the cashier asking for ID

"[the combat/difficulty]... are there to add friction, and what friction does is slow you down. And when you're moving more slowly, you become more observant; the more observant you become, the more you start noticing the piecemeal moments of storytelling that string together into a greater whole."

I wrote about how Silksong, like its prequel, has the same appeal as a good FromSoftware Souls game for me: dozens of individually enjoyable moments that weave into a greater tapestry.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has the same Soul as its predecessors

They made a sequel to Hollow Knight and it's good at all the same things Hollow Knight was good at. Cool!

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

I think if you are a certain kind of teacher you would rather have a bunch of students who procrastinated prove comprehensively that they had done the reading rather than a handful of inoffensive papers clearly phoned in

"we shouldn't judge people for liking pure slop, because of these trying times" well, i think we should. and we already are. it's actually a great time to be critical of the art you make and/or engage with. be judgmental. develop some taste

The closed internet. I think more and more people will just retreat to group chats and servers

Which sucks if you’re a small guy making small things trying to find an audience. Social media has evolved to be more and more akin to a subscription feed than sharing

I've decided to start a series of blog posts called RPG Design For Beginners. It's a combination of "game design tips" + "developer diary."

First post is about the very bare-bones basics of designing of turn-based combat.

RPG Design For Beginners Vol. 1 - Blueberry Lemonade

Right at the top: I have no expertise with designing RPGs. It’s something I’ve always dabbled with for fun, but I wouldn’t call that expertise. So, this is partially a tutorial and partially just a pu...

yeah, I watched all of it and thought it was pretty solid. beatbreak feels like a show aimed at the 13 year olds who were 8 when they watched ghost game

I don't seriouspost that much anymore, mostly because I'm tired and more cynical about the efficacy of the effort, but I'll give it a try for old time's sake.

It has been de rigueur for many professional posters to insist on participating in American democratic processes as a remedy for discontent.
