100% this. Make stuff that's true to you, work you LOVE, and the truth of your conviction will reach people. Make stuff that's not true to you? Make stuff that's cloying or trying to manipulate people into liking what you're doing? Calculate it based on metrics or what you think is popular? ez fail

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

do not under any circumstances look up advice for beginners on how to create a compelling character. it comes in two flavors: 1) "Try to give them some flaws! It's also good if they want something." 2) endless pet peeves that are contradictory in aggregate

What advice would you give to someone who wants to create an original character? What have you learned from your own creativity? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

brain, i understand that you'd rather do Preferred Activity, but right now we have to do Task. if we finish task we can do Preferred Activity WITHOUT feeling weighed down by the need to do Task. do you see how that works ah it's biting me my brain is biting me

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.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Seeing some "Why would you say you like a bad game? If you like it, shouldn't you have the conviction to say it's a good game" to which I say "You sorely underestimate the the level of garbage I can find joy in"

"this stuff actually IS valuable. if it wasn't, people wouldn't be stealing it. rewatching hbomberguy's plagiarism video and just having to pause at the obvious but easily forgotten point that I needed to feel with my whole soul at this moment.
