Making a far future sci-fi TTRPG named Starlight Journals. Also general life updates. My game development has no "AI" elements to it. Everything is either my work or commissioned.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Trying to think up ways to make bio-tech minions not into fucked up abominations and failing. I may need to embrace it to some extent. Maybe plant people are the way out though.

I must admit,
I posted on twitter yesterday to try and pdomote the Codex of Celestials.
Bearing in mind I have 2.5k followers, the ONLY interaction I got was botts.
I don't know how anyone can actually use that site.

So the question is obviously: what are you hoping to see in this upcoming Stargate show?
Given that this is NOT a reboot, all the old characters could make an appearance, and some abandoned storylines could be resolved through dialogue (hello SGU).

Honestly, if I get one more obviously AI generated class from one of my University's profs, I may just transfer my few credits to a local college and bite the bullet. Online schooling works a whole lot better for my disabled/immunocomp'd ass, but unfortunately the profs just phone it in w/ CGPT 😔

I've been playing #EuropaUniversalisV and must admit having a good time with it. It's probably one of the most complicated games I've ever played and I'm not super surprised the AI is a bit incoherent, but it plays well despite those flaws and I'm enjoying it. Milan is still strong btw.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

The seesawing of temperature is driving me nuts. Its driving my allergies wild and turning my mouth into the pain dimension. I'm begging you, be consistent.

I feel like devs and CEOs need to accept that a consequence of using gen AI is that a lot of people won’t like it. That’s just the case as it is and the risks you take

Oh! Should mention, with the release of Chapter 10, my test DM is looking for more folks to playtest the game on Mondays at 4 PM CST. If you can make that and want to playtest stuff, feel free to reach out and I can invite you to the discord to discuss the potential!

Woke up from a power nap to this very small reprieve to the bullshit of the world. We are never that far from our rights being taken away people don't get it twisted
It's a small sigh of relief, but it is one nonetheless.

Finished chapter 10. Was a doozy, but it also means the majority of the game is playable for most builds.

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
