The only path to success in writing (or any art) beyond a pre-existing fanbase in another field is luck. You get noticed or you don't. Talent, marketing, persistence can tilt the odds in your favor, but that's it.

If you're going to get salty about this, aim your ire at capital, not peers.

This is great news. Also a reminder that Moonring is FREE and EXTREMELY GOOD, even if you've never played an Ultima game in your life.

If you like it, there's a single piece of DLC that adds a 100-level endgame megadungeon.

Consider making 2026 the Year of the Personal Website. Even a little thing on Neocities works. It’s just nice to have a home base on the internet that you don’t have to deal with bsky mods are random popping into every post and if something goes wrong with your host, you just move it elsewhere

The father of indie games was some kid in their basement making arcade game clones on their Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum, selling cassette tapes in plastic baggies with "art" that their mom drew out of the local Radio Shack.

Godot Lesson 1 - Ball and Paddle - Michael Coorlim

The teen children of adventures mixing together the remnants of potion vials and drinking the sediment to get high. It's called Dredging. Are your kids doing it? It's more likely than you might think.
In fantasy worlds do you think teens try to get high using cheap shitty potions, all convinced they're getting high from sipping such as a potion of stamina recovery

All "wow dude I'm feeling it bro" and it's just a potion of minor healing they mixed with some elixir of minor locksmithing

Final Fantasy was developed as a challenge to Dragon Quest. TO understand DQ you'll need to check out its inspirations, Wizardry and Ultima, both inspired by Dungeons and Dragons.

Final Fantasy was also heavily influenced by Michael Moorecock's Elric books so read them too.

Sorry, when I asked if you preferred Looney Tunes or Disney, I meant to ask if you were Porky Piggin it or Donald Ducking.

No, they are NOT the same.

Back in the first Sim City you could ditch roads entirely and just use trains everywhere. I don't remember if this worked in SC2K as well, but we should try that in real life.
