hey play skate story
Skate Story is a devastatingly rich text that I feel borderline gleeful about unpacking, slowly, at my own pace, over time.

Yes, when a fellow’s soaked through, it’s hard to be sensible, that’s a fact.

Skate Story already has me changing out wheels to see if there's a difference in the game between 100A and 105A and testing to see if I can get some wheel bite with looser trucks. I don't care if it's all aesthetics - the fact that it made me believe it might is incredible.
Helluva game.

Hats off to @mkschmidt30.bsky.social for Cyclopean. It did everything I want a big 100 hour rpg to do in under 10 hours. Some of my favorite gaming sessions of this year, made even better by getting to share them with @ofquartz.bsky.social and @robotparking.kvlt.rip on Discord.

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment.

I've played one (1) chapter so far - which was about as much as was in the demo - and all I can say about it is that it fucking rules. Alexis's review goes into much greater detail about why it fucking rules.
Can't sleep? Moon too bright? Want to eat it?
It's a simple goal for a demon in the underworld, as you'll find in this gorgeous, extraordinary narrative adventure that just so happens to require skateboarding.

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

1b. I, truly, am a systems guy. I'll take Caves of Qud or over God of War every single day of the week. But games have been both crude and sophisticated about both systems and story for decades. Arguing that they only do one well disrespects narrative designers, who work so hard to blend these.
