Oh man! Dream game design project: Take the gloomhaven game system, and set the campaign in terry pratchet's discworld!! The city is ahnk-morpork! Character classes like: the night watch, the witches, the wizards, the old barbarians, death, industrial revoloutianary, etc.
It would be SO much fun!

Today I had my mom over for mother's day brunch, wrote a nodeJS web scraper and successfully got data back, played Jaws of the Lion with the GF and finally, set up a PS2 emulator on her computer so she could play Kya: Dark Legacy, (a game from her childhood that only she remembers). Pretty good day.

If i pay for a service, or app, or expierence of any kind, it better not have even one single ad. You already made your money. More is greedy.

Dev: We're making a Ghibli-esque game
Me: What, like Grave of the Fireflies?
Dev: N-no...
Me: Hm... strong themes around the struggle of humanity and nature coexisting?
Dev: -visibly sweating-
Me: Ah. It's just the pastel anime aesthetic isn't it?
Dev: Please... stop... the SEO will hear you!
