#introduction time! Hello! I'm Graham, and I think too hard about things! 😂
I'm making an indie game called Brick & Bramble (ipsquiggle.itch.io/brick-and-br...), and before that I was a lead/designer/developer on Oxygen Not Included and Don't Starve. 🌱
I love to share my process always, so AMA! 📝

As discord threatens to immolate itself, pondering what the key ingredients are for the next thing we jump to.
I think the most important is the "shared account and DM, decentralized community and moderation". This is, incidentally, also what's good about reddit.
Any OSS offerings like this?

BC’s own Electoral Reform Committee recommended a Citizens’ Assembly.
That is a serious democratic process that deserves action, not delay.
If you want a voting system where results actually reflect voters, now is the moment to speak up.

Coworker this morning announced during standup that they were going to improve the game's yawning technology. Discussion ensued on the mechanical and aesthetic value of yawning.

I've discovered I have a strong preference for the word "Dynamical" over "Dynamic" in design. My intuition says that Dynamic has connotations closer to "exciting" and "varied", where Dynamical has connotations closer to "full of dynamics" which is my intended meaning.

Okay, I've gotten emails from a number of large companies in the past month (Github, notably!) that don't have unsubscribe links anymore. Did a law change? Are tech companies experimenting with noncompliance? Has it just been a coincidence??

I think one of my big failings as a game designer is that I'm REALLY good at having fun. I often play the jankest shit (that I or someone else made) and rapidly start having fun with it, and it makes it hard for me to push it further.
And I don't mean "I can see the fun", I'm legitimately funnin'.

I know it's a small thing but I can't help feeling sad for Nintendo that their new console is the "2". Every other system they've ever made has had an explicit thematic reason to exist. This time they capitulated to technology and just made "more".

For any app/website/whatever that offers light and dark themes.. why would the default ever _not_ be "match OS". Like, I've already clearly indicated my preference at a highlevel, and this is a pretty ergonomic choice (not just "style").. so seriously, please respect that choice??

Oh fuck this bill is so abysmal! Please please PLEASE write your MPs and tell them to vote against this garbage power grab! We do not need "executive vigor", we need representation and rule of law. UGGGHHH 😬😬😬
Bill C 15 shows how fragile our democracy is under a winner take all system.
When one party can control Parliament, it becomes far too easy to concentrate power.
Proportional representation is how we rebuild real checks and balances.

So many reminders lately that the "efficiency of capitalism" is really just about externalizing costs and then pretending they don't exist.

This jet trail was leaving a shadow on a nearby cloud, I've never seem this before! The whole sky became 3D for a moment as I watched it from the train.
