I'm very exhausted with the idea of disco-elysium-likes. The thing I cared about in DE was its narrative design and writing, not just its mechanics in isolation. You could explore all kinds of ideas from tabletop games and crpgs, but instead you choose to shamelessly pantomime what DE did?

Popstar Booboo Keyes stuns fans after losing 50 pounds on the one molecule diet. "It's all thanks to the humble molecule," she explains. The molecule has gone on record to say "Shucks, well it ain't no thang, I got these lil suckers called 'atoms' doin the work!" The atoms have gone on recor

Try ordering the molecule burger off the secret menu. It costs $1,000,000 to make and they blow it into your mouth from across the restaurant with nay but a single gust of breath

Don't lose your balance!!!! #memamorkin #pixelart #gamemaker

I had all of this rationalized, but it wasn't until late last year I really felt it. I don't want to be trapped in all of the gears trying to "become something," spending my time making "topical memes" of my games for attention, begging for attention all the time.

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

If you're able, get into strength training! There's no need to curl a buncha heavy weight or squat 300lbs, just start small and stay there if you need to! You'll feel better, trust me

Nostalgia is a deadly drug. No needle ruins more lives, no pill is more intoxicating. Indulge too much and you'll be falling to your knees and wailing, "Please give me another hit, make me great again, I'll do anything." This weakness creates monsters.

(Liberal sticking their hand in an industrial sheet metal stamp) I'm disappointed that this machine would do this to me. What happened to civility? This machine will face the full extent of the law when I get my hand out of it. Zero shame. What has our democracy come to? Will other machines condemn?

When you ask parents what their kids are into, you expect them to be like, “Mainly dinosaurs and trucks, but starting to like stuff about outer space!” But what they really say is like, “Well you know the spongy part when you cut open a bell pepper?”

Strength is the only means to preserve kindness on Earth. Find strength in gratitude. Do it for your family, for the natural world, for the friends you haven't made yet, for the oppressed, the marginalized. For the sick, the hungry, the fearful. For love and compassion. Please, stand up and fight.
