my mom hand carved a spoon for me once which we call the wizard and now use as a system of measurement. two heaping wizards of grounds. it's wonderful isn't it

im goin black again :)

the gacha is also the most unbelievably stingy gacha i have ever played LOL

im gonna paint my nails then go see a movie w some friends and when i get back im working on a new game

this may be one of the many delusions but sometimes i feel like i am tinkering with a nuke in my notes app

it is very unlikely to jump the fire trenches between mental subdivisions of these groups of people. but what do I know

i am working on a game in the back of my head. its limits are many- who has space to grow a flower? who has time? who is willing to grow a flower for the sake of play? what about for the sake of art? who is willing to, further, keep a journal, harvest seeds, make paper? i see the outlines here

limits in terms of individual willingness and group based herd vulnerability- there is a certain kind of person more likely to play this game and a certain type of person more likely to be given the game by a previous player and i think you will very quickly find the invisible boundaries there

parasitic game design, hijacking of intentions, viral code carried out through actions, through language, self-replicating and sustaining, it has very clear limits and it, as it is, cannot subvert someone’s will, but there is far too much to think about here

they definitely still have porn guy and mysterious shape on here but i do feel marginally less gangstalked

over there my new followers when a tweet blows up are Porn Guy and Mysterious Shape and over here its like. real person who made a game with my friends or wrote something that i really respect or whatever

over there is a little edgier over here i am trying to talk to people about play and foster that sort of environment where people will talk to me about that shit. just a lot more of that kinda person over here

i do think its funny that i post game design / theory stuff on here that i just dont post on twitter. wrong environment. its too loud over there

its true!!

Here’s a bunch of shows happening in Pittsburgh in March! I make these every month. They are in no way comprehensive so I encourage you to keep a look out for more or make your own. Save this to your phone, print it out and hang it somewhere in public, share with your friends!

my thesis is that all games do this and this is the basis of play
