I think I'm gonna start streaming SoulFrame regularly. 6pm Fridays.
Also, I want to do a separate little side project. Don't know how much people would need it, but I've played with enough folks that seemed to need it: A basic primer to combat in action video games.

This is so true it hurts. Even popular let's play people are more focused on chat, making jokes, or doing whatever gains the most attention. Which inevitably means they begin griping about being lost and saying the game is bad. (And leads to me yelling at the screen to pay attention)
"Player who does not pay attention may be confused," has been a problem forever, but our modern age makes distraction easier and high-level folks especially scared of any friction. I believe in getting information flow right, but the "please handhold more" directions I got were rough sometimes.
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

Sometimes I think there's a bit of a reflexive urge to decide that if "gamers" are complaining about something then that thing must actually be good, and in a post-Gamergate landscape I kinda understand that, but sometimes a thing can just suck ass on its own merits

Everytime System Doesn't Matter discourse raises its ugly head and glances in my general direction, I go immediately into fight or flight.

I just feel like if you say "system doesn't matter" and you're a game designer I don't know how I'm expected to ever take your games seriously.

All the loot you come across is for STR mains, everyone thinks you're a DEX guy, but really you're just a little Arcane fella that wants to be a Reduvia wielding bud without people judging you.

I think with all of the death, disease, and other damned forms of suffering surrounding me at this time, I need to rally myself around my purpose as a game dev and get back to work. I don't have a full time job at the moment so I should focus on doing what I can.

I just found out my cousin has stage 4 liver cancer. Kid is only 24. I changed this man's diapers and helped raised him till he was 5. Last I saw him was when we buried my Auntie Doris a few years back and I hadn't seen him since he was well.. 5. Still, all I can think is "fuck... my baby is dying."

I know this may come across as unreasonable, but I feel like when I pick up an officially licensed TTRPG adaptation of some piece of media, it shouldn't be a coin toss whether there will be any mechanism for playing as the sorts of characters the game's ostensible source material is actually about.

I think owning a bunch of TTRPG books, even if only to read them and never play them, is a good sign that you are someone who is curious about the nature of play.
Now excuse me while I go sit on my hoard of games, I will never get to play but love dearly.
