Pretty amused to turn on Dirty Laundry and see Chris Grace wearing a shirt from @bearpadart.bsky.social . I have one in blue and it’s basically my favorite shirt.

I think if myself as someone who doesn’t like movie musicals, but I rewatched The Sound of Music this last weekend and it turns out that most movie musicals just suck shit by comparison.

It was really great to return to UCSC to give this talk to Nowhere Lab about my approach to game design (and more). What an amazing, supportive space.

I’ve been feeling really stagnant via a vis game design since the summer began, but this week, I was able to present a talk about my artistic practice to the Nowhere Lab at UCSC and I just jumped off a really successful playtest as part of my first game design contract! 🥳

This interview was great -- Hendrik is really good at outlining the inspiration & lineage of mechanics in their game. Got emotional more than once just hearing about the moves and structure!! So excited for the girls of the genziana hotel to crowdfund later this year
If you'd like to hear me say 'basically' about fifteen times while @newmadras.bsky.social asks me very thoughtful questions about my gothic horror mystery game, this is the episode for you 👌🏻

I just cracked 4000 views on my itch page today, and I’m at just under a 1000 downloads. It’s a nice milestone to hit when I haven’t been getting much game design work done in the last couple months.

21. Games don't *have to* say something profound, they can be easygoing/lighthearted/just there to pass the time. But a game *must* be aware of what it is actually saying, and make sure it's not accidentally advocating for some bad shit, including through its mechanics.
