If you're wondering why creating faceless monsters you can kill without remorse because you feel you *have* to kill something is bad, please read this article I wrote ⬇️ & do read the *whole* article, not just what's available for free.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.

Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

ORC BUTLER: there is a time for poison, but it would earn you no praise to kill him in secret, sir
ELF BUTLER: on the contrary, sir, be like the earth herself, and sour from within the man who dared cross you
ME: I will stab him with my envenomed spear ROTLIMB
ORC & ELF BUTLER: excellent choice, sir

Crawler/Carrier for a someday-project of mecha megastructure megadungeon vibes. Hopefully set in the skeletonized and overbuilt corpse of Earth from @notwritinggames.bsky.social's "RIG" universe.

I wanted something rugged, capable of traversing multiple built terrains, and uh, a carrion eater.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

new article. it's about what cozy and wholesome games are, why shitty people like them, and why I really liked I Was A Teenage Exocolonist.

i was a teenage exocolonist (and so can you)
I’ve realized that I’m much better at discussing broad ranging theory than individual games, just because it’s easier to find ten games…

Since it hit my timeline and I'm feeling up to it, let's talk about Burnout.

We are going to touch on two parts of burnout that I don't see very often.

One: how long does recovery take

Two: under stimulation burnout. (Yeah it's a thing)

Buckle up, and share this for someone who needs to see it
