Finding different ways to name 100 different head slot magic items is a staple of fantasy rpg design.
I still remember the joy I felt when I asked you if I could name a hat a "chapeau" and you were all "sure"

It felt like such a triumph at the time

Tragic! This Guy Brought the Cute Tote Instead of the Big Tote! And Now He’s Paying the Price.

If I speak… 🀫
there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but β€œyou shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

I designed a New Kei Truck Shirt. If you like dozens of us, believe that the best trucks are small trucks, this is the shirt for you. I've also reissued my NICE SHIRT kei truck design. Both are available for 24h only at theyetee.com #keitrucksNA

If you transcribed this and gave it to Tim Robinson as a script it could fit seamlessly into an episode of I Think You Should Leave.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a β€œdomestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

I genuinely think @mrnikli.bsky.social may be one of the best business writers in history, and β€œBrainwash An Executive Today!” is one of the best written and insightful and funny business pieces of all time. A must read. Execs can be really stupid!
