Chaoclypse (Brandon Yu)@chaoclypse.bsky.social · 9h agoSince people seem interested, I've coded a version of this that yields better results, is more optimized, and allows you to customize the texture of the noise. It's free, and forever will be free. Enjoy! chaoclypse.itch.io/xerox-hell

Fully recommend starting with the all-time classic workhorse fonts and branching out from there. Garamond has survived for centuries for a reason. Have a fancy header font as a treat.
Clayton@explorersdesign.bsky.social · 4d agoWoke up hungover after winning gold at The Ennies for Best Kiss. Anyway, here’s this month’s Explorateur. Only the freshest links from July. Two really fun reviews. My new favorite podcast. And three thoughts on layout from me in the upfront. www.explorersdesign.com/explorateur-...
If you haven't watched the ENNIEs stream, then stop what you're doing and read Sam's thread instead. Factual and unbiased reporting from inside the belly of the beast.

Thoughts on the ENNIE awards within 1 minute of starting the stream: - The most prestigious and well-attended TTRPG convention going and you still can't afford to pay a competent audio technician?

New for Decree 0.17: TRADE GOODS! A bunch of things to buy, sell and barter with that don't fit within the usual weapons, armour or gadgets lists. Also finally an excuse to situate @darkmechanic.bsky.social 's incredible illustration better within the text.
Ugh, spoke too soon. Getting consistent repeatable crashes during table manipulation. As much as I would love it to be, this isn't at all production ready. Ah well.
Séamus@phantom-limbs.bsky.social · 6d agoAffinity on Linux working surprisingly well. Only had one crash so far and that was due to me doing some really dumb shit. Reopened, and it loaded an incremental save from just before the crash, no issues.
Not to be a stick in the mud, but man the announcements from the 'big' US publishers at GenCon have been incredibly dull. Kind of feels like we're in the doldrums of the early 00s again.

The UK's egrotesquely privileged media ghouls and their attendant cadre of upper middle class access journalists so effectively demonised transgender people in the last decade that now they've decided to take aim at another vulnerable group: People who live with neurodevelopmental disorders.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I think from everything I have seen of Gencon, I don't think I'd enjoy it at all. I think my ideal size for a con is like 40 people max all packed into a pub function room to play the weird homebrew shit they've been working on.
It's mean lookin dudes rendered in stark chiaroscuro again, how novel. I wonder if it'll feature br00tal combat, mayhaps even a scantily clad lady or two?

Day 1 of a week-long push to get the next major revision of Decree out the door before I call it done. The big addition is traits for each ancestry, each providing what are hopefully fun little gameplay wrinkles. I'm also looking at revising the faction and reputation rules to be a bit more meaty.

Since swearing off the idea of ever participating in the videogames industry at large, I have now been credited on two videogames. Huh.
In *my* imagination Halo looks way cooler than that, probably because my imagination is unique and beautiful, owing to my massive brain.
Jacob Geller@jacobgeller.com · 2w ago"the graphics have caught up with our imagination" is intended as a compliment but is inadvertently damning of the whole project. Yeah, the imagination of Halo no longer exceeds a high-resolution tree. Cool.
A trillion dollars set on fire to address the most bizarre fucking problem you've ever heard, made up by a guy who hasn't heard anyone say "no" to him in decades, while millions starve.
