i don't think i've posted about it yet, but my partner and i have been playing through 'the crimson diamond', and it's really charming. it's an incredibly well-loved game. just look at these gorgeous, rainbow doll's house dioramas. the use of color and the details are so satisfying.

I really can't recommend this PC-FX dungeon crawler enough - it annoys me how little love and recognition it's had over the years (especially as a PS1 port's also available):

I found a Xenogears fan vid from 2002 on a DOKAN disc, one cut together You Get to Burning from Martian Successor Nadesico and it is so spot on.

I often think about the best way to do this and it's tough. Lately I've been considering just making two versions, one brief for table-use and one more in-depth for prep

discord is a noise box, just so much in one place. I treat it like reddit years ago, hide everything that's not your super small niche interest. I think at this point I'm on more servers that are basically big group chats. Too many people and I just can't follow what's going on

the infrastructure of magical convenience notes on roleplaying magic, class, and control

🚨WORTHY ESSAY ALERT🚨

"but i’m more interested in a different question. what happens when a spell becomes cheaper than a worker."

The traditional magic=tech worldbuilding question has always bored me. Add class analysis to the mix? I'm in.

"just add page number references as you write, it'll be fine" has once again proven to be a bad idea but is still a strong name for a horse

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy.
It's the best version to date.

WORD I am really, really tired of "we tease the tragic backstory of the detective" can't a detective just detect, the murder is surely sufficient drama.
