In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

i truly believe that RPGs with blank-slate protagonists should use the Morrowind conversation system
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!
this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

"adventurers" aren't actually human. they're a type of parasitic organism that tricks human communities into feeding its young with the threat of "dungeons" and then once they reach maturity they build more
now that I have reached 10th level by delving into and clearing dangerous underground labyrinths, dungeons, temples, wizards' towers and so forth, it's time to settle down and protect my wealth by building a dangerous underground labyrinth, dungeon, temple, or wizard's tower

Any sci-fi fans who still can’t wrap their heads around how a system like a LLM can appear to be intelligent without ever being conscious or having any conscious intents, goals or opinions would do well to read Peter Watts’ Blindsight, a prescient narrative explanation

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

DOG TIP: when you import dogs and print them, they will come gut-loaded with normie bacteria that will turn them Randy-colored as they mutate. you can purge their biome by feeding them a bunch of burnt dog biscuits from the dessert feeder as fast as possible to prevent any mutation

Maybe it's an old-man-yells-at-clouds thing, but I think any Alien narrative that permits softening/control of, or unspoken cooperation with the Alien itself, misses a fundamental tenant of the Alien's identity, that is representing the absolute consequence of delusions of grandeur and greed.

Hey there. You’ve had several kinds of food now, so it’s time to tell you about meals. Meals are when you combine different foods into one larger food. This way you can enjoy several flavors at once. Well, I’ve got nothing left to teach you. But I’ve heard someone in the city can tell you more.

Hey there. I see you’re interested in food. Well, watch out, because every food tastes different. Just because one food tastes good, that doesn’t mean a different food will taste good too. Well, that’s all. I think you’re ready to start your food journey. Come back if you need that info again.

Good, you made it to the toilet. You can flush the toilet using the ACTION button. You can also wipe using toilet paper if you select it from the ITEMS menu. This will consume an ITEM, so make sure you have plenty on hand. Use the control stick to wipe, or enable motion controls.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

If I have a list of people who I genuinely admire within this hobby/industry, as in people I look at and feel humbled and inspired by, Erika has to be at the top. Everybody goes "I have a cool idea for a game," she actually makes the game and it's always amazing, simply one of the best to ever do it
