Over/Under update: we are all slowly realizing the lesbian voting bloc has become the most powerful insurgent faction in the game

When people say a piece of media is “soulless”, what they really mean is it’s lacking in any perverse qualities. To lack that is in fact a bad thing.

So far every active denizen who’s died has gotten memorialized, a funeral, etc. I’m morbidly curious to see how callous people become to these deaths as the oxygen tax and assassinations increase.

(Over/Under) This is so perfect it makes me mad. Stratemeyer is the megacorp faction btw

Something so cool about #OVER/UNDER is how faction asymmetry leads to players leading totally different lives. Today, I heard about folks preparing powerpoints for their boss, the church is organizing art grants, the union is holding internal elections, and the hackers are shitposting.

Wow you weren’t kidding. In a way, you become their Pokemon

The McDonald’s x Street Fighter collab in Japan is incredible. No notes. 🤌

Once you join a faction, you don’t really have to do anything. I mostly just watch

The fact that this dude died within like ten minutes of posting this makes me think the buyer was a plant

I think this might also be some kind of findom roleplay. There are layers to this

(Over/Under) just got invited to join a pyramid scheme. This is too much like real life

(Over/Under) The people have started a fight club. No idea how it works, I’m guessing people writing about the teeth they lost

First person killed in Over/Under. Word on the street is, this was personal

Is this the first assassination?

I did not know this specific thing but it tracks for the guy who centered his memoirs around his sexual affair at 35 with a drunk teenager. medium.com/@108/just-li...

The casino having to go on hiatus so the owner could reup on cash was incredible

Eventually, I'll have so many fun stories to tell about Over/Under - even after just one day. For now though, discretion above all things.

I've ended up advertising a lot more than I typically do but October is turning out to be a busy month for me. Red Solstice Issue 6 is for sale via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social. It has lots of amazing sky themed articles and this beautiful cover art by @daniilune.bsky.social

I really wish we had more books on video games being translated into English, bringing fresh perspectives.

For example, the 甦る伝説のRPG大全 is a Japanese 3-part collection on RPG history from 1975-2000. The games it covers and its perspectives are quite different from what the CRPG & JRPG Book cover.

Desabafo, mas infelizmente eu fico cada vez mais convencido q não vale a pena tentar fazer criador gringo se importar com oq rola com games fora de EUA/Japão... o lance é se conectar diretamente com galera de outros países e fazer nossos próprios projetos.

Se não, o máximo q sai é like & retweet :/

IMHO far too many people are upset about a price increase on something they should've been boycotting for months...

Andrew Dice of Carpe Fulgur has passed. This is devastating. Not only did Recettear have a big impact on me, so too did their decision to found a company to translate indie games. It was incredible to see them go all in on their dreams like that. Respect to both of them. We’ll miss you Andrew.

If they could get House Marquee to make a new 3D Mega Man that would be pretty incredible

I’m bummed they didn’t further iterate on it after 2. The closest thing I can think of is maybe Steambot Chronicles on PS2.

I feel like 3D action RPG mega man with customizable parts you get from enemies is a slam dunk! The children yearn for the splash mines
