I feel like a government shutdown should trigger an automatic snap election for every federal elected office where no incumbent is allowed to run.

I got a bundle for RPG Maker MV on Steam for 90% off, so I'm playing in that now so I can start rapidly prototyping Tavinnbrook :)

I AI-generated some rooms for Tavinnbrook, and I came up with these as the closest to what I envisioned! Which still is your favorite? Does one stand out more to you for a particular reason?

I'm slowly, but surely, working on Tavinnbrook :) The anti-narrative is coming along nicely

Hey guys. I'm going through a lot. I'm moving back in with my mother until I heal and can get on my feet again. It's so hard not to blame myself for everything, but I'm going to move forward. That's the only option we have sometimes, even in the face of utter despair.

I've got a really cool design going for Tavinnbrook. Think of Slay the Princess mixed with Frieren set in medieval times. I'm really excited for the direction it's going!
I don't know when my next update will be, but I'm still here :)

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

I get an NDA and am terrified I'm gonna @$#$ up somewhere. US leaders just leak national secrets like they are texting their bros.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

I want to hold myself at least mildly accountable. I want to make a prototype for a game I've been working on the design for: A medieval innkeeper game with goals to
1. profit
2. utilize the social/rumormill space
I'm not even sure of a working title yet, so feel free to suggest!

Stepping away from realism is what games are built on! I believe it was Raph Koster that said fun is the discovery of something new within the familiar.
The combat in the Batman Arkham games was godlike in terms of pure gameplay but straight comedy visually. Batman would be doing 15 foot lateral steps off his back heel & flail his limbs at goons with no logical kinetic leverage to continue combos on the regular. We excused it because it was fun.

Here's a trick to get easy demo analytics: use achievements!
27% of players finished the tutorial level 🥳 Out of them, 56% (15/27) made it to the last level, and 45% finished the campaign. That's great numbers, I'm excited to more than half persisted through the campaign.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.
