I'm a fan of games and up-and-coming game designer. I play grapplers, I have a fondness for the theory and balance of video games, and like to ruminate on game design as if anyone is listening.

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

I don't play #cozygames often. However, as a game designer I absolutely LOVE their rise in prevalence these past few years. Games can be anything, and even if I love the ones with fighting and violence that doesn't mean it should define the medium. #gamedev

@danfornace.bsky.social I'm obsessed with La Reina's theme from the trailer, are you planning on dropping the full track soon?

Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

There's supposed to be a #leagueoflegends /dev blog today and, man, I really hope we get an update on WASD controls soon. Like, I'm super excited about some of the leaked stuff I saw, but my hands would love a control scheme that's easier on the hands

Teachers saying they "don't want you waiting until the last second to do an assignment" suck, dude.
Like, how tf do you know I waited? What if this is my attempt version. What if I'm struggling with writer's block? Maybe I took my time to make sure I did a good job!

The best argument for the #hitbox will forever be its ergonomics. I don't care about some hyper niche tech Leffen spent a week labbing out, if the hitbox save's people hands that's the important part.

Playing on the #hitbox is wild. I have to basically relearn all the muscle memory I've developed to this point. Even a simple DP takes way more focus than before but the fact that its gentler on my hands makes it so worth it.

Reminder the #gamebalance provides us with problems that have multiple possible answers. USF4 Elena's Healing too strong? Sure we could nerf amount healed but we could also
-Increase the end lag
-Give her fewer HKDs
-Lock the meter after one use
-Make it a Super not an Ultra
among others

Meanwhile Links are too friggin' generic. If building for Genesys has shown me anything its how much I relied on the same assortment of link monsters to pad out my ED. Link climbing is just too easy for how powerful it is, being frank.
Original pendulum summoning literally let you summon up to 5 monsters in a single go, and even if your hand was empty you can still summon the monsters from your extra deck, both basically for free. When a mechanic this strong comes out other strats need help to adapt and that starts an arms race.

I understand that there's a lot of reasons why Link and Pendulum monsters are unpopular but can we take a second to recognize how they contributed to the game's exponential speed increase? #yugioh
