Perhaps there really isnt a better political expression median than games, and that is especially true about Root and Arc. And it's not about any specific political reality, but intead most true and universal one. To be a politician is to be a Opportunist.
I've always wondered if the discussion around these games reflects the quality of the work or the fact that I happened to write lot about them. It's really a core insecurity I have the games that I've worked on. Would they speak without this critical framing (the designer diaries, etc)? 🧵
the fact that we dont talk about games like arcs and root when talking about artistic/thematic/political expression in tabletop games points to a fundamental weakness of rpg-centered games discourse

There's a lot of cool ideas in @yoyozm.bsky.social's "Pray", which traces a connection between meditative prayer and the repetitive actions of a clicker, while drawing some grand religious ethical questions to their logical conclusions (so, it all goes off the rails, naturally).
