i'm not gonna share specifics so as to not blow up anyone's spot, but i occasionally peek in on an online game piracy community on reddit, and one of the most common genres of post is "thank you, [pirate], i got a job now and am gonna go buy some games since i can afford to" and i think that's fun

a lot of attempts at new magic the gathering mechanics over the years end up with what i call the water bottle problem-- when the game gives you a new, smaller, more annoying game to keep track of on top of the one you're already playing. what am i supposed to do with this water bottle

boy can't handle his grapes

I love to post. I was born to post man. it just comes naturally to me. I can do all kinds of posts. I can do a bunch of em a day. it's normal for me to post

i have decided to name this deck And the Frogurt is Also Cursed

don't you just want to go ape shitt

i'm very close to 5k followers, which is higher than my reach ever got on twitter

i've decided that i'm going to make my sheoldred deck fun to play with by making it scheming vizier coded. i institute taxes on card draw, and then i have a bunch of cards that make other players draw cards. do you need cards? of course, my liege, but you will, ah, lose some life in the process

As the lead of Radiant Array, I made the experimental visual novel, Interstate 35, and am currently at work on my second game, which is seeking a publisher or investment if you're interested in a strange, story-first scifi game. store.steampowered.com/app/3283890/...

Okay, I have new followers, I should introduce myself. I'm Julie Muncy, writer, narrative designer, and game consultant extraordinaire. I have been involved as a consultant in titles like the Silent Hill 2 Remake & 1000xResist. I am available for work as a writer, designer, editor, or consultant.

lol don't move to mastadon. as unhelpful as some bluesky decisions are, they are just like a normal ass company not owned by an oligarch trying to cover their asses, and as such are the perfect size to be pressured by users

Navigating bottomless shitshows while working to GTFO the US has had me clinging on by a thread; donations received have very much kept me afloat (<3). Reposting the link given the massive and likely sudden unknowns staring me down around travel? motels? and ?? www.paypal.com/paypalme/jes...

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.

bad news: the feds want to insist we're all terrorists good news: the fbi is led by daffy duck

if you like speedrunning/summoning salt videos, i really strongly recommend checking this out, even if you don’t play magic

lol they really done fucked it huh?

dinobot was such a vegeta, first possible improvement on vegeta technology since the original

i mean, the zizians ARE a militant cult, that is sort of their thing

minor props to kamala for not disavowing her evolved stance in trans healthcare in prisons, but, yeah, this is saying "i don't agree with phrenology, but i do agree with reasonable concerns regarding the size of minority skulls"

testing out a refined Commander deck idea in Brawl on mtg Arena, and it turns out bringing a deck tuned to beat 3 players into a format where i just gotta beat one makes it kinda mean as hell

this post is like three months late, but i wonder if james cameron's (wrong) feelings about VFX being overcosted might be related to his propensity to exclusively seek out the most complicated digital effects ever made by man. guy only comes to firms to ask them the price of spitting at god.

saying that a certain group of voters "made" the Democrats lose by refusing to vote for them is like saying someone would be a winning tennis player if the ball didn't move around in so many directions

LOGIC - Sometimes a kebab is just a kebab.

a fabulous piece. really gets into how and why hard, alienating games can be such a comfort to marginalized and disabled people. "It is pleasurable to finally pick my failures, and just as pleasurable to finally experience the joys of success."

excited to announce my new silicon valley defense venture, The Scouring of the Shire by the Fascist Revanchist Saruman

most of life is believing you have bones without ever actually seeing them

it feels so good to write again, to play games again, after the worst year of my life. i picked a ridiculous game (that i love!) to relearn controller skills with, but taking my time makes it possible aftermath.site/silksong-hol...

thinking again about beast machines, which turned the beast wars mythos into a techno-organic evangelion fever dream

so like the original game, then

hahaha yes ha haha yes @lordravenscraft.bsky.social

you know that frog that got transferred into captain ginyu's body? you'll never guess what he's up to now

@archidekt.com y'all should add notes to decks, let me write down what i need to do to it, kthx ilu

trained game designers playing magic the gathering like, richard garfield, you magnificent bastard, i read your book

i have a lewd account on here if you want the handle you can dm me and i might give it to you if you're nice

I’m a pretty good lawyer, here to tell two things: 1) Don’t take legal analysis from Ken Klippenstein seriously 2) If you’re trans and you want to - and can - get out? Absolutely, go for it. But have a clear understanding of what’s happening, and understand you’re not gonna get that from Ken.

i think my slivers deck is almost ready

okay, so this capitulation i was expecting, this one was on my radar

hello all new followers, i will make a post introducing myself tomorrow today i'm very sleepy

hey so, read this story and this is an incredibly vague piece of reporting i am personally taking with lots of salt before jumping to conclusions instead of trying to explain in one text limited post, a quick thread…

I also think that in games that are designed thoughtfully around runbacks, you'll pick up new details about the aesthetics and design of the levels each time. And there will be new things to experiment with and improvise on with repeated playthroughs.

Ideally, a boss runback maintains some of the initial tension of encountering the boss, and also offers some space to think and strategize. Respawning right in front of a boss means no time to think and therefore no time to adapt, encouraging a "beat head against wall" approach to play.

me, to me, when i'm having an ibs flareup: you really need to get your shit together

Hi again! Are you a studio or individual looking to hire Narrative talent for your games project? Good news! This great big Starter Pack below is brimming with Game Writers & Narrative Designers who are looking for work right now! I hope it helps you find somebody really special 🥰💛

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
