Happy Armistice Day.
War degrades our humanity. The imperial US wars of our contemporary period are evil, wasteful, and for the benefit of the wealthy.
I have my DD214 and CIB, so I'm not interested in any pro-war nonsense. I know the arguments. I used to believe them.

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

no amount of blog posts, innovative systems, thinkpiece videos etc will convince me that tracking encumbrance beyond a simple check (carrying a lot of shit? IF Y = encumbered; IF N = you're fine) is "fun". Logistics tracking/planning is for boring real life, I'm here to behead (or befriend) goblins

related to last RT: I'm playing FINAL FANTASY IV (Pixel Remaster) and it's amazing how well broadly drawn characters, colorful sprites, and simple exploration / battle systems can create a sense of grandiose fantasy adventure. Even better that I'll be able to finish the game in under 25 hours.

Generally how I approach my own fiction and gaming work AND what I'm looking for as a reader, too
I write zines now instead of pitching because zines mean choosing my subject matter, 100% chance of acceptance, long form essays where I get to make my complete point, not having to speak in a standardized voice, better writing because no consideration of SEO, and no one else profits off it.

I hope this succeeds and set a chain reaction emboldening more devs to unionize/protest/go on strike
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting

“Carnalis is a poetic feast, a lean yet satisfying contribution to the cannibal subgenre. This addictive novella hums with a primal energy that reminds you how animalistic and predatory society can be.”

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.
