You know, usually I prefer to be vulnerable only after exhausting all other options, but for you I’ll make an exception 😘

Get their ass Miyamoto An over-emphasis on seeing all game design through a carrot-on-a-stick lens drives me nuts. One of my least favorite trends in game design spaces, for decades. It's paternalistic and dismissive, not to mention flat-out incorrect. Luckily it seems much less common nowadays

I’m howling.

I am not above whining

😶

is it strong work ethic or is it applied masochism

In some ways, Junji Ito’s adaptation of #Frankenstein is slavishly faithful. Unlike most adaptations, it maintains the bulk of the novel’s plot & the Creature’s eloquence. Its major digression is the animation of a female Creature, with implications for intersections of gender & monstrosity. 1/12

You ever just feel passionate to a fault?

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development 🎮 "AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative" "Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people" (via GIBiz)

I’m super thankful that I’m at Bungie working with some of the most talented and kind people I have ever met, but yeah also this.

I am 10 minutes into Disco Elysium and I already know which of these skills I have a concerningly high score in

My paranoia has been BAD recently oops It’s an unpleasant experience and it’s really hard to relay to others interacting with me - “oh it’s just that my pattern matching instinct is screaming at me to be generally suspicious, sorry!”

making your own tools is one of the best things you can do in your game development process

If you can't handle me at my unhinged posting behavior you don't deserve me at my industry professional.

My last word on the matter

So much of getting into game design for me hinged on my knack for the serendipitous that I almost feel like I have less advice now than I did when I was a fellow seeker And even with the amount of lucky bullshit that I had going for me I still barely made it here Games industry rough ;_;

My brain is REALLY not working today

we made her out of the same stuff God's made out of. don't know what it's called, but they had to bury the volunteers who handled it under the mountain

I used to always know what I was going to say about myself

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

Here’s Nick Cave replying to a correspondent called Valerio who was asking him about how to respond to a growing sense of cynicism - here. www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-still...

I’m gonna go with a 6 since I can be a tad audacious.

Systems design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; it drops 25 xp, 2x leather, 1x meat. Narrative design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; the other cow uses a salience-based storylet system to react with an appropriate bark ("moooo") 3c design: you have two cows. they can airdash

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

New bats in my shop! Currently i can just ship within the US but if you're international and reeeeally want one, DM me and we might be able to work something out. wertle.bigcartel.com

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Seeing someone solo Witness with my baby brings me so much joy 🥺

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Dragonslayer Armor in Dark Souls 3 being able to destroy the railing of the bridge you fight him on is so cool. I think it’s really clever as creating a cool vibe for the boss fight.

I adore you I adore you I adore you still #destiny2 #destiny2art #aotw

Meanwhile, I'm back to making bats!

jolting awake in the middle of the night because, in squirming to get comfortable, my hand came to rest on my wife’s perfect, perfect tummy, and the neuron activation produced by such shapes is calamitous

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
