Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

Great times, great vibes! This year I'll be talking some hard hitting nonsense as well. I enjoyed visiting AdventureX last year so much that I really wanted to say some *stuff* in front of a crowd.

Soojin is a brilliant and adaptable artist. Did you love the look of Pentiment? They were responsible for a ton of it. Out of the many, many ways they left their mark on that game, though, my favorites have to be the Landsknecht playing cards and story-time with Brother Sebhat.

i'm getting let go in september :^D (pained grinning) i'll be looking for work in any eligible field starting now, but especially then. if you need a concept artist / illustrator, i'm here <3

Kick and start this great fun tabletop experience! I really enjoyed the experience even at this early stage! Plenty of killings to be had!

Il Fantasma del Giallo is now live! Please repost, there's a lot riding on this! This is a magical realist, Neo-Noir TTRPG that uses a trick-taking card system. The game is inspired by metatextual media, like The Twilight Zone, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, and the Giallo genre. Details below 👇

I played some tabletop! I'm not used to tabletop. Good times were had, so I will heartily throw my support to this project.

First quote for the day is from the indomitable Märten Rattasepp, who worked on two of my fave games, and who also shared a pint with me as we gushed about murder mysteries and game design. He's also one of the guests on the recorded session for Il Fantasma that I'll be dropping after the launch!

Surprising no one, things did not in fact go according to plan.

I am more bog than (almost) all of you. I am sphagnum-European (saturated) and proud to be it. You are wrong ecosystems. Efficient, productive, oxygen-rich. You are modern. This kind of environment is shame. Real bogs preserve dead things indefinitely. All the rest is a trash.

I'm in a controversial mood so here's a random hot take out of nowhere: modern pop artists would never. I dare you, Taylor Swift or whoever wants to claim the throne of pop, I dare you to do a video like this. Do it and see what happens. :D

An absolutely wonderful video, and it includes my favourite random topic to think and talk about - the satanic panic! When Qanon & pizzagate nonsense got going years ago, all I could think of was, oh the satanic panic is back. The frauds who have published various wild lies truly have done damage.

〽️ax krieger asks: who's going to PAX WEST?@maxkriegervg.bsky.social · 4mo ago

not quite. you see, it is very simple. a video game can be any or just one of these things, and can be in any state on this chart at any time depending on the context or rearrangement of its elements (mode, ruleset, singleplayer vs multiplayer, etc.). elementary

!NEW VIDEO! I made a new vid talking about games that steal a face :) features a few indies that use face mechanics in a cool way and is a good time I promise!! youtu.be/wsWVMYO3kwI any reposts and comments etc. are always a big help! ♥️

Alongside part 6 of the /noclip documentary here is me talking for three and a half hours for some ungodly reason! It's generally a lot of the things I've said elsewhere, now collected into a single interview. Maybe it's time to get new thoughts! / My thanks to the 41st Precinct for the fun chat!

Some say that making a smaller game or simpler game are ways to cut down on dev time. This is also true. But if you're making a game of any size that has any sort of consistent production methodology, a good way to make everything take longer is to change standards and pipelines in production.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 5mo ago

As the length of video game productions has swelled to 6+ years, many people are trying to figure out how to reverse that trend. Here's some food for thought from the always-insightful Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas and Pentiment. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Ey, some light summer reading arrived in the mail. Many-a name and wisdom has been captured in this tome. Grand work by @jon.inkle.co

Clang! Detectives arriving on the scene. Victim: Disco Elysium. Cause of death: unknown. Suspects: everyone. I get a quick ramble, which is fine. This bit in time I don't really care to think nor talk about too much, since it likely would involve saying things I don't want to say. Hence, vagueness!
