I can't believe it took me this long to discover Little Shop of Horrors.
The puppetry of Audrey II looks so good it felt like I was losing my mind, and the Menken/Ashman music duo?!
PHEEEEEEEEEW, I'm obsessed.

Remember when Spider-Man 2 for PS5 came out and people realized the NPCs on the street all had dialogue with each other that you could eavesdrop on and then players in. A. SPIDER-MAN. Game. Took time out of swinging above the city just to follow people around on the street and listen to them? 🤔
The worst part as a writer is, like, NPC dialogue and barks and incidental text is the most fun stuff to write but takes the most time in terms of billable hours and has the least amount of screen-time, so for a corpo it just 'makes sense' to have an LLM pump it out

As a biologist, It really is a great analogy. Also trees. It's like saying, "There are trees and grass, you have to be one or the other." Ok... where is the line that defines "is a tree?" what about bush-like grasses? Palm trees? NON-tree palms? What about horsetails and their tree-like ancestors?

Nothing pulls me back into listening to musicals like a talented performer absolutely belting their guts out.
That kind of talent gets me every time, right in the goosebumps department.

Something I learned from a playwriting class: write the review before you start working on it.
Create the great review you want your project to get (imagine it’s by someone who Gets It) once it’s launched, and you’ll quickly tease out what the themes are, what’s important to you, and what isn’t.

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

“they’re shoving gay stuff into the story for no reason! checking boxes!!!!” my brother in lilith, every queer writer you know can name off the top of their head a movie, book, game, or tv show where the plot + character arcs would’ve made WAY more sense if they’d just let them be gay

Make art with your friends. Organize an underground show. Buy tapes and zines from friends and strangers. Support each other. Culture is made by regular people living their lives and finding ways to connect, and capitalists can never own that.
