You decide to take a gamble at what could be a good day.

Times have been so strange I feel self-conscious to speak more of my games, which I affectionately call "anxiety machines".
But although it's can be stressful, Metronomes can be hopeful too.

I don't even remember who hated me 20 years ago. I had a pretty swell high school experience, tbf. If we're flexible, there was one person in uni though.
She'd probably say I was stuck-up and thought I was better than others but she spread slutshaming rumors about me so

If I asked the person who disliked you the most 20 years ago for their opinion of you today, what would they say?

Today is the Day of the Dead. Remember that, in Brazil, it's not uncommon (especially in the queer community) to refer to exes as "the deceased". Take a moment to celebrate their "death" today. You're welcome.

Here it is: A folder with the art I did for this project. It was inspired by Ellie Tsang Kirkner's "Lucanis Lunchboxes" fanfic, a series of events/items taking place in Veilguard in which Lucanis gave Rook food!

I had the positively DISGRACEFUL idea to wear heels for two nights straight, strolling and standing around for hours and hours in thin sticks (night one) and dancing in unbroken boots (night 2).
I hadn't worn heels in about 2 years.
Everything was lovely so regrets should hit starting tomorrow.

I know I tend to disappear for a while and return with rants and passive-aggressive "stares in Brazilian"s
But
*stares is Brazilian game developer with 15 years of experience who's Been Seeing This Happening, and also sees 1st world gamedev ignoring it for 15 years, and keep ignoring it EVEN. NOW*

the problem with the games market is that consumer spending in much of the west is now this insanely top-heavy game where the upper middle class are the only real spenders, in turn bottlenecking the whole industry into competing for the time of this 10% of the population with disposable income

I've pointed this out before but free-to-play games are not a business model that caters to low-median-income economies, it's a model that caters to extremely unequal economies because it seeks to capture a *lot* of money out of those who can afford it

'AAA games should cost $100' I think most AAA games are already marketed at the $120+-ish price bracket, it's just that you can get them with the poor-person discount for the 'low' price of $70 if you don't care about launch DLC, etc

The proliferation of deluxe editions, collectibles, overpriced in-game purchases, etc etc etc, it's all about trying to capture value from this minority of people who can be convinced to essentially buy the game at $150, $200, $300...

NBA2K is kind of the poster child for this, a nominally "normal" priced AAA game where in practice several game modes are radically different if you don't spend up to a certain threshold of either in-app purchases or buying a higher tier SKU

Character design: You have two cows. Each has a clear sillhouette. Your 3d artist is so tired.
Communication design: You have two cows. They're lovingly rendered. 100% more rendered than in-engine.

Systems design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; it drops 25 xp, 2x leather, 1x meat.
Narrative design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; the other cow uses a salience-based storylet system to react with an appropriate bark ("moooo")
