I was so suspicious that this was fake but apparently it's real, and this guy just looks exactly like Anthony Hopkins (good for him!)

Always a slight jump scare when my own book appears in my feed (also it's probably not too late to order a copy for Christmas for the goose fan in your life!)

A review of Untitled Goose Game from Boss Fight Books - Old School Gamer Magazine

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

the best thing about undertaking a new hobby is the whole new world of detestable guys it opens up to you. guys who are probably fine when you encounter them at work or trivia night, only becoming intolerable the minute you put a banjo in their hands

It's really hard to put into words why Ghost of Yōtei feels an inversion of the way Ghost of Tsushima approaches the weight of our pasts and the expectations of our parents. The games rhyme? I haven't quite figured out exactly the words to describe it, but it's cool.

I've got very strong feelings about what an MMO is and if it's not a massive world shared *simultaneously and continuously* by a large number of players, it does not qualify.

It’s also related to “the reason I don’t fuck with DM Vibes metacurrency” after being called out on something that I was doing myself: 7’th Sea 1E had a drama die engine that was refilled “when the DM thinks you did a good roleplay moment” which sounds great but maybe you can see the issue already

But also I loathe “rules light” as a term because it tells me nothing useful
The same term is used to mean “a very few, extremely precise rules deployed very strictly for immense effect” and “idk man it’s improv-driven consensus loosey-goose pure roleplaying magic, it’s so cool”.

$1 is not a huge bump in price, but asking folks to pay any amount more right now feels kind of rotten. Hopefully, you think my team and I deserve to stick around a little longer, to continue rooting through the industry's garbage bins and being resident menaces.
