the fact that we have "serious" convos about whether billionaires are okay suggests public consciousness that is totally divorced from the 1) actual scale of private wealth accumulation 2) its political implications. helpful data visualization:

Wealth, shown to scale
Wealth inequality in the United States is out of control. Here we visualize the issue in a unique way.

I'm taking a deep dive into the world of Turn Based Tactical Combat design. If anyone has good resources to share, very much appreciated!

As a lot of people are following back (thanks and well met!), I'll repost this introduction from a couple of months ago so we can get to know each other. This is me! Please tell me more about yourselves :)
This will be a bit of a thread to introduce myself on here, focused on my work. Starting of, I've been tinkering on games as long as I can remember. Adding home rules to board games, making levels in existing games etc... The earliest example I can remember being the Stunts editor. I think I was 4.

Experienced a TPK for the first time as a DM yesterday. It sucked. The table was set, all the die rolls went poorly, I had no more way to intervene except for providing deus ex machina. At least the players took it like champs. This is a 3y running campaign, nearing it's finally. I'm sad. #gaming

Reading How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe and this sentence hits home : “I was no longer someone who had so much potential. I was quickly becoming someone who hadn’t reached it.”

Last day before vacation. Do any of you have a 'last day at work' ritual? Mine is cleaning up the scattered notes with (by now) meaningless numbers, sketches of hexagon grids, written down lists of variables and semi-thought out game flow diagrams I had to track some day. #gamedev

I was laid off today from Bungie after 2 years. It hurts but I'm proud of my work and my team. I'm looking for new opportunities as a Technical Producer/Technical Program Manager. Let me know if you have any leads!

I’m heartbroken about the news coming out of Southport. There’s a lot I can wrap my head around, that I can vaguely understand, not this. My thoughts are with the parents, children and everyone who had to experience this horrid attack.

Hey TTRPG and games pals, I’m looking to interview someone in China who played Death Wears White (死穿白) when it was first released around 2013. If that’s you or someone you know, please send me a message! (Please also feel free to repost to other platforms. My email is lehall@gmail.com)

I'm new on BlueSky and looking for a bit of a #gamedev community. Any reccomended accounts are welcome. Also, I'll be talking mainly about game dev and game design, or things related to those. So if that's your jam, it'd be nice to get some follows as well.

I've been thinking about altering the expected parts of a game like movement or object interactions in a way that reinforces the core fantasy. Doom 2016 was a good example of this, where 'picking up HP' literally becomes 'melee finishing an enemy'. Any other good examples of this? #gamedev

These first 24 hours on blueSky have been so much better than the last year or so on Twitter. So happy to have made the jump. :)

We are in the prototyping phase of a new project and I just love physical prototypes. They are so effective in communicating intent with the team and iterating on ideas goes way faster as well!
