Done designing Dungeon #2! There's been a decent amount of backend stuff going into this one, but hopefully it'll be fine for players! Though knowing my luck it'll be a point of friction/time where people get confused with the relative lack of direction... ...Maybe I should get playtesters...

Like, I think trying to break/breaking a game, causing it to glitch/get out of bounds, can elicit a similar response from players to interacting with another person. Is that friction ascribed to the developer, or the game? If something is finicky, or difficult, does it give the game personality?

Watching a video about anthropomorphism and inanimate objects today, and thinking about games, tech, etc. The video claims that we assign human traits to and empathize w/ objects due to a need to connect with them, but also outlines a bit of how that can happen.

Really depends on what you can get on sale, but my two go-to poor/cheap meals are hotdogs w/ 1 diced yellow/white onion and 1 cup frozen green peas w/ a can of baked beans, or cut up hotdogs w/ canned tomato sauce/diced tomatoes, more onions, peas, and about a cup of rice thrown in.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.
