A Message Thread Among Progressive City Councilors Reveals They’re Tightly Coordinated The messages among a bloc called “Peacock” provide an unusually clear window into the thinking of a group of councilors who are driving the agenda at City Hall.

I love getting an inside look at how hard these progressive councilors are grinding for us.

We wanted to get rid of politics as usual with charter reform and we did.

It’s awesome!

Just wait until I have to self promote something

I’m really weighing in tonight

Hometown players only

Honestly, inspiring

Stacey has what is to me the definitive analysis of all this discourse on games and art:

Even more than the setting itself, the tone of this has me really excited to play the game

The work surrounding it (projects, clients, etc) is often unpleasant, like all jobs. But typesetting and layout remains fun and occasionally meditative, and can be an escape from the stuff that’s not

increasingly bigger dominos meme. small text reads legalize hot dog carts big text reads grade separate max

hear me out

we pursue an abundance agenda for sidewalk / park hot dog carts, which leads to a new growth regime, which supports regional scale investment in transit

This occurs to me as well, except they're all addressed to my dad.
"Steve, it's James Carville…"
"Steve, I'm again asking for…"
"Steve, Trump is SHOOK and all we need is…"

Gotta assume that Netflix told them there’d be no season 2 early on, and they scrambled to tell the full story? No justice for Jentry!!

The closer I come to finishing this playtest for release, the more ideas are surfacing for what's next. This is how I know my ideas are poltergeists, terrible things that won't leave me alone unless purged

Itsy Bitsy Exercises by Anna Anthropy Exercises from a narrative design class

for the next couple weeks i'll be posting exercises from my old narrative design class every day. i used #bitsy by @adamledoux.net, so these are all bitsy files that can be imported into the bitsy editor, along with posts describing guidelines and objectives.

Depends on if you need it to be size-accurate, but you could do worse than searching for 'gatefold mockup' — gatefold being the term used to describe brochures that fold in on themselves like gm screens

Yup! I like his prose and characterization so much that I'm planning to read Exordia, and I'll probably like it even if it's not peak condition

Kinda gutted that Mozilla killed Pocket because saving things to my kobo via pocket was how I read the internet for the past few years

Ahah wow I feel so diametrically opposed that now I'm wondering if I should just skip Exordia

Could read Traitor Baru Cormorant by the same author if you want a stone cold 21st c classic (and haven’t already read it)

Yeah this one needs a bunch of caveats because it's really about the ratio of cover hardness : book size, and book size : page count, but in general I dislike the way they feel in my hands

Yeah, it's a rare and expensive art. There's a great article on the Hyphen Press blog about cold glue binding, if you haven't read it: hyphenpress.co.uk/2007/05/02/b...
Anyway, perfect binding is usually good enough, but my dream is for the industry to embrace coil

Also no hardcovers

sorry I don’t make the rules I only enforce them

SYSTEM DOESN’T MATTER but print production does

- uncoated paper
- lay-flat binding
- no faux background textures
- if you’re knocking text out of a background color, don’t use an 8pt serif
- honestly just don’t knock text out of a background color

No you just did it for the love of the game

I didn’t hang out with hoodlums in high school, Carly

A friend of mine shoplifted a couple candy bars and I punned it was hot chocolate, and in truth the greater crime was mine

I beg you, include a reflowable text version of any PDF you sell on itch. Imagine a world where I could read things with my old man eyes on my old man kobo instead of as a PDF on a screen and also the PDF has a background image of faux antiqued paper and uses a brown 8pt serif on a beige background

Yeah it’s pretty cool ngl
