For REAL. A good game designer isn't just a robot that intakes complaints and outputs solutions. Can you figure out a design change that enhances the game's goals and themes instead of harms them? Does the game NEED a design change? Or is this an aesthetic problem? Is this an AUDIENCE problem?
Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.
Hope you're in the mood for some CHEESE youtu.be/zRfpuaHuzDY FMV cheese, mm. I've covered SimCity before, but this odd 1994 Interplay release is one I haven't reviewed until now. The Enhanced CD-ROM with copious amounts of full motion video! It's both enjoyably silly and unfortunately frustrating.

I don't disagree telling stories is amongst the functions of tabletop RPGs (though it's not the sole – or even *principal* – function of many), but I think a lot of analyses of story-in-RPGs trip over the GNS model's error of treating the activities of play as identical with the goals of play.

Harlan Ellison once wrote of the innate hatred that machines hold for the weak, soft creatures who create them. I dunno if this was the sort of thing he had in mind, but I bet he'd consider himself proven right after one look at our house robots
see i think this is kind of emblematic of a particular confusion that makes discussing ttrpgs in general tricky. That is, conflating "the game-structures that exist in the books" and "the events that take place during play". Both get squished into the term 'game', but they're different things!
High on my list of games I want to get to a table (though right now i basically have no group to play with sadly)
Exciting news! Kotodama Heavy Industries has told us that Ryuutama: Natural Fantasy is reprinting and should be back in stock by the end of the year. THIS year!
It's time for today's random #Netrunner card of the indefinite time period! Going back to the FFG era, Endless EULA is from the tail end of that run, The Devil And The Dragon set. Let's see what silliness NBN Intruder Countermeasure Electronics can get up to! This is a legacy/casual legal card, BTW.
What are we on this week? Difficulty? Weapon Durability? Yellow Paint? Free-to-play and gacha? Indies will save us? Consoles vs PC? Graphics/Asset reuse/lazy devs? Metroidvania (or other genre term) is bad?
They should invent a games discourse that isn’t 10-20 years old

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

I love dice rolls in videogames, I love the way they invite the player to narrate their experience in relation to unexpected events, I love their connections to the history of chance as a storytelling tool, I love the way they attack the player's tendency to want everything their own way.
I'll never shake my fascination with mmos. This sounds like a blast.

I genuinely think that a lot of creative processing happens while waiting, like in a lineup or for a kettle to boil. I never noticed how much I was missing that until I started doing my ”offline” months. Doing nothing is very important!
People really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.
