People (especially those living within capitalist structures) tend to belittle those who are living, in their words, "safe" and "comfortable" lives. I prefer describing it as "intentionally pursuing stability and contentment in a money-obsessed results-driven society".

My RPG game backend is able to load resource data from embedded json (like location types), and provides a way to send queries and commands from any game client. Here's an example of how a client may use it to get all the locations in the world. #chronicler #rpg #programming #gamedev

I'm currently working on a #.net library for a procedural #rpg backend. The idea is I can implement mechanics and systems first, and do it in a way that I can add the visuals and sound later (the "client" so to speak). #gamedev #programming

The best part of modding Skyrim isn't fixing the bugs or modernizing the graphics, it's having complete control over my experience. It's a comfortable middle ground between the gamer and game developer within me.

Random #gamedesign thought about the morality of cannon-fodder species like orcs:
To me this is a symptom of tabletop storytelling being part narrative and part game. There's an eternal conflict between the two that's difficult to overcome...

I encourage everyone to refresh themselves on which freedoms the #firstamendment actually protects, and which it doesn't. To anyone familiar, it should be crystal clear how out of line the current administration has been.

Do I think that the assassination was an extremist and overly violent reaction? Yes.
Do I also think that both the world and his family are better off without him? Yes.
These two thoughts can coexist.

Just saw #somethingrotten at the #boiselittlrtheatre and it was wonderful! Going into it I only knew about the "a musical" song, and I was pleasantly surprised by all the rest.

There are no #stories in the reality of this world. They are all #fictional, invented. The actual world around you has no #characters, main or otherwise. There are no arcs, no beats, no hero journeys. We are just animals doing our best. So drop your #ego, and give yourself a god damn break.

Truly horrifying. This is the next step in this admin's strategy to worsen education. This kind of strategy makes it harder and harder over time for us to fight back. Knowledge is power - and our younger generations will need as much of it as possible for the coming war. thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

#Blindboxes are consumerist nonsense. I don't see enough people talking about the amount of waste they create, or about how they are manipulative gambling money pits. Too many collectors giving these a pass just because they fill their shelves with colorful plastic in the shape of things they like.
