Would you like to contribute an OBJECT to live in a WAREHOUSE GAME? I'm working on a parser fiction game where you play as a worker in the warehouse of the gods- sorting, storing, rearranging objects, meandering. I need so many objects! Maybe even: one of yours? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

“can you explain your writing process”

hate that full-time employment as a game developer feels like a miracle and a privilege these days

In case you’re looking for some way to help on a day like this. uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...

"1 billion gamers every day" is private equity talk. It's key jingling for the dragons that want to die on larger heaps of gold. And when there aren't a billion players a day it won't be the promise-makers that pay, but the remainder of the industry.

“Do you know how to read?” “No. It is one of the black arts.” He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

Got an idea that just took some time to percolate? Or maybe this post is instigating some percolation. Great! We've extended the deadline for the Roguelike Celebration CFP to July 19th! www.roguelike.club/cfp.html Even if you have a vague idea, send it in and let's figure out how to flesh it out.

if you don't know, you should know that Edward Steed did a treatment of one of the most iconic Magic cards of all time in the style of a New Yorker comic a few years ago

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

i'm back at @eurogamer.bsky.social on esoteric ebb and the joys of being a dipshit www.eurogamer.net/esoteric-ebb...

getting owned at Indigo as I naturally gravitate towards this section consisting mainly of books I have already read

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

sometimes when I work late I get the monster mash stuck in my head because of the line “I was working in the lab late one night…”

"always the golfer, never the wildfire victim."

The No Borders bunny is back. Now with the full message: no borders no walls abolish ice free them all

genuinely delighted to see the games press taking on areas like prediction markets + gambling + gamification, which are tumorous outgrowths of game design & should be subject to rigorous, knowledgeable critique and *derision* within the games community

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

At @adventurex.bsky.social I gave a talk on creating stories from scratch: from idea to full outline, in 25 minutes, with jokes. Enjoy!

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.
