28.02.2026 10:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes, I think this is right.

One of the joys of writing Designers & Dragons has been discovering the wonder in games & even companies that I had no interest in.

Tried to. Didn't work. But what a mixed bag of nominees.

I told my Copilot to stop apologising, be brief, only provide the info I want, and don't make unnecessary inferences or conclusions
