What a final day in #OVER/UNDER. Got a thread of thank you messages from the cowboys. Wrote my thank you speech to them. Went to a gay wedding where I ended up technically married to one of the grooms as well. CHC hit its win conditions. We got to spend hours finally spilling all our secrets. ❤️

When people say a piece of media is “soulless”, what they really mean is it’s lacking in any perverse qualities. To lack that is in fact a bad thing.

So far every active denizen who’s died has gotten memorialized, a funeral, etc. I’m morbidly curious to see how callous people become to these deaths as the oxygen tax and assassinations increase.
(Over/Under) This is so perfect it makes me mad. Stratemeyer is the megacorp faction btw

Something so cool about #OVER/UNDER is how faction asymmetry leads to players leading totally different lives. Today, I heard about folks preparing powerpoints for their boss, the church is organizing art grants, the union is holding internal elections, and the hackers are shitposting.

Eventually, I'll have so many fun stories to tell about Over/Under - even after just one day. For now though, discretion above all things.

I really wish we had more books on video games being translated into English, bringing fresh perspectives.
For example, the 甦る伝説のRPG大全 is a Japanese 3-part collection on RPG history from 1975-2000. The games it covers and its perspectives are quite different from what the CRPG & JRPG Book cover.

Desabafo, mas infelizmente eu fico cada vez mais convencido q não vale a pena tentar fazer criador gringo se importar com oq rola com games fora de EUA/Japão... o lance é se conectar diretamente com galera de outros países e fazer nossos próprios projetos.
Se não, o máximo q sai é like & retweet :/

IMHO far too many people are upset about a price increase on something they should've been boycotting for months...

Andrew Dice of Carpe Fulgur has passed. This is devastating. Not only did Recettear have a big impact on me, so too did their decision to found a company to translate indie games. It was incredible to see them go all in on their dreams like that. Respect to both of them. We’ll miss you Andrew.
