kind of wish i had a nonsmartphone handheld audio recording device. digital is fine i just need to have like a single button i can press to begin recording. 80% of my reason is making my dreams easier to record in the morning

if you go into a cave you're likely to be corrupted by a woman in a veil. there are other kinds of cave experience, such as mutants and wonders, but we believe this is the most likely experience for you based on your astrological sign (the therizinosaurus) and humoral composition (choleric)

caught in the awkward position of liking the concept of the game i am working on, and liking the core dice mechanic for it, but also thinking they are poorly suited to one another. i think i want to play with the dice toy more than make that game concept, for the moment, so maybe i'll focus on that

wow okay new annoying problem with this project is just. how do i do focus area templates with character facing on a square grid. this sucks. maybe i either a) shouldn't do facing or b) should switch to hexes. i do kind of dislike hexes but not for a like. legitimate design reason

took this as a sign & brought a lem book with me to playing pretend camp
what Lem doesn't tell you at the end of Solaris is that after Kelvin returns to Earth to try to convince us not to nuke Solaris we do it anyway, but it doesn't seem to do anything, so we start sending people there to dissolve them in the ocean to make it more human and therefore comprehensible.

I remember when this Far Side caused such a stir. Larson got reamed out by the Jane Goodall Foundation, but it later emerged that Goodall herself loved it. Now that's a cool person!

oughgghh have to try to finish the layout by Tuesday. i don't want to post this game jam game as like, a markdown text file, but i might do it if i don't finish the layout.

okay mulling over this a) i don't know if i want to try to invent a totally new way of modeling space for tactical ttrpg combat b) trying to make gridded combat feel dreamlike might be interesting. whether or not it's possible
to put it concisely, dream wizard combat does not belong on a grid. space in dreams is more like a thick emulsified fluid of imagery and associations, and i think a grid (hex *or* square) is antithetical to that.

the game i am working on next (i get to do a little today bc i will be afk and not able to work on layout of the jam game) is nominally going to contain Tactical Combat in some sense so i thought it might be good to review one of my favorite tactical grid-based combat game, In The Time of Monsters.

thought for a while about a Lancer hack where the light/crunchy mechanical split, instead of out of mech narrative/in mech combat, was waking life narrative/dreaming wizard combat (cf. the Benandanti). but i don't think that concept is served well by the kind of crunch Lancer has--

reading UKLG's first novel and it's fun to see what is familiar stylistically and thematically from her later work, and what feels strange, got left behind. maam why did you stop calling sapient organisms HILFs. that kicked ass

has anybody done like, dark platonic idealism. where the forms are bad and/or evil and all things accessible to the senses are but mere distorted reflections of the transcendentally bad abstract objects behind the things, & whose degree of goodness is proportional only to their deviation from them?
