I still believe strongly in "when they go low, we go high" as long as "high" means "finally sign onto the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court and see that they are prosecuted for war crimes and human right violations"

predator handshake meme, the left arm has the Return of the Obra Dinn key art and the text "sentence builder UI", the right arm has the Car Talk logo and the text "idiosyncratic car behavior", and the clasped hands have the text "detective work". it's about quirks

I met @sirrosen.bsky.social at PAX West one year, lovely bloke, then as I live in Australia, I lost contact

Thanks to this business card, I was able to find him again

Never underestimate the power of a goofy business card

just spitballing here, but idk if we should have state-captured media, escalating attacks on trans (aka human) rights, or a loyalist paramilitary minority-abduction force, or pattern regurgitation machines being deployed instead of paying journalists

Had this been done a year ago, I would have been shitting out my abdomen directly onto the floor (colostomy bags are considered durable medical equipment)

a lot of what I find tedious about [prototypical survival game] is that they aren't spikey, with things just kinda sloshing around and feeling samey over the course of play. I haven't played TLD since super early days; I should go back to it...

Totally! I have a bit about that in my talk, in fact: providing safe areas creates space for cranking things up outside of them. I think Subnautica has a shade of this, too, e.g. the difference in feeling of being near the surface and on a deep dive. I kinda hope more games explore that dynamic:

yes!!! I think this is a really big part of survival game appeal in general--I did a quick muse about it a couple weeks back: bsky.app/profile/sirr...

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.
