Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games Candid conversations with game creators that dive deep into the art, craft, and process of making games.

Now that I have been playing the game, I’ve also been listening to eps of eggplant.show where they do one game per week and one episode per week. More of your style of methodical consumption.

Yeah for sure. I’ve played maybe ten of the games so far. A bunch of them are a bit more arcade-y so they seem better suited for just a few minutes at a time.

I don’t think I’ll be going for β€œcherry” completion (usually meaning finishing the game with extra restrictions) on any of them.

Loved Barbuta, the first game in UFO 50. So intimidating, but by the end you know every room back and forward.

Today's design thread on #MTGEternities is about Station! Station came from our earliest exploration into what "Space Magic" should look like – our big question was, "what differentiates sci-fi from fantasy, and how do we capture that mechanically?" #wotcstaff

"I'll be Pod for Castmas" is doing the kind of weird, well-researched, and funny comparative reads I aspire to make. A great resource for both learning to critically read a text and seeing why lit crit is super fun

The high five is a hand gesture whereby two people simultaneously raise one hand and slap the flat of their palm against the other.[2] The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", or "Up top". Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration.

There are many origin stories of the high five,[3] but the first and two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978–1979 season.[4][5]

saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER

the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five

Chill music and about five hours to hit credits in Wheel World. Turns out I don’t really want a long racing game. Some performance problems and the itemization is bad but overall a thumbs up from me.

Why I Refuse to Use "AI" Unreal Engine UI programmer

my former colleague wrote up a great summary of refutations to the common reasons to use GenAI / LLMs, and I have to say I agree with all of them.

even if certain aspects get addressed, like environmental impact by running local models, it still doesn't address any of the other issues.

unlike most social media, I don't think I have any followers here who follow me exclusively for my relationship with the prince of denmark, so you might not know the passion and dedication i have had for this play for nigh on twenty years

GW draft deck with Yuna, Titan, and two Fat Chocobos.

After a lot of avoiding white, I latched onto a P1P1 Yuna. Despaired at the lack of summons offered, but the deck got a clean trophy nonetheless. I get what Tidus sees in her. Lots of cards I'd consider sub-par but I was able to pivot between fast and slow games easily.

Enjoyed playing through Crypt Custodian. Sort of a flow-state Zelda game, also similar to Hyper Light Drifter, Children of Mortal, Unsighted. The bosses are way harder than the rest of the game, but fortunately the game has extensive difficulty options.
