Expedition 33 shares a foundational principle with modern board games, and it's one of my favorite things about it. In virtually every board game I've played, something pushes the players to perform a different action from turn to turn to keep the game interesting. 🎲✂️ 🧵(1/5)

It's hard to play Demonschool and not notice every minute design consideration in the combat. They made a tactics system as expressive as any Matsuno game without any stats, levels, or XP. It's like, what if chess was good. Pulling off a rube goldberg action phase in this game feels transcendent.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

Systems design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; it drops 25 xp, 2x leather, 1x meat. Narrative design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; the other cow uses a salience-based storylet system to react with an appropriate bark ("moooo") 3c design: you have two cows. they can airdash

Hey RickyP. Saw your high scores on Aer Lingus’ in-flight version of Tetris. Just want to let you know that I have fucking embarrassed your ass so fucking bad dude.

A high score list on an airplane seat’s version of Tetris. I have the top score in Marathon mode by more than 3,000 points.

The rot at the heart of British culture that allows something like today’s Supreme Court ruling to be made… Boycott Rowling. Teach your dad about pronouns. Withhold your vote from politicians who don’t vocally support trans rights. Fund trans artists and creators. TERF Island needs to die.

Some people would have you believe women’s football would be better off without Barbra Banda But they picked the wrong sport. The view inside the game is the reverse. Women’s football’s history of inclusion gives it a unique place in trans rights and gender debates www.nytimes.com/athletic/601...

A long-standing record of acceptance means the conversation about transgender players' role in women's football differs from other sports
