Olivia's blog on Anxiety talked about academic hierarchies. My take on them is that there is a choice: do you serve those below you on the hierarchy or those above you. I wish more would choose like you do.
![R.I.: Luftrauser was just crazy jam game that we made in two days back in 2011. It was this simple Flash game that we really liked, so we decided to follow up on it. Luftrausers was mentioned [proposed] first when we were pulling out of a deep depression caused by Ridiculous Fishing being cloned, and Jan Willem prototyped the first build on an airplane out of 2013's Game Developers Conference. Luftrausers changes a lot about the original. Players can now build one of over a hundred different airplane combinations, there are missions to be completed to unlock the game and the enemy roster was upgraded significantly. We refused to look at the original game while creating the first few prototypes of Luftrausers. One of the most interesting stories from development is that, while the original jam game took us less than 48 hours to create, the sequel took weeks to get up to that same level of quality we remembered from the original. It wasn't until we recreated the feeling we remembered from the Flash game in Luftrausers that we allowed ourselves to play the original. When we opened the original Luftrausers we were baffled. The original game was so boring and flat compared to the new prototype we had. We'd been building Luftrausers to equal our memories of a game built to make you feel good. In the new game, we had made the game to feel as good as we remembered the original game to feel, and the nostalgia goggles definitely were part of that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j7g5d6zzh7dzso2ldq6lhe5e/bafkreiaakulcbr52kunw66mkxvat3r4v34hwzgwaachy5rawtf63iqkcbi)

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
this fucking rules too, honestly. bless dropout for it

It's nice that The Odyssey is getting its day in the sun as a synecdoche for history. But when this summer is over, it's back to the relentless, remorseless rise of Jane Austen.
@doriantaylor.com just let me know when I can start beta-testing my own installation of the tech; I have a West Marches-style TTRPG campaign that I would _love_ to use as a low-stakes excuse to test this stuff out in

Vincent@zell2036.com · 2d agoHey, sometimes it's choosing the timing on the computer looking up the right thing to write down!
In the same way that being bitten by a werewolf make you a werewolf, arguing with an academic makes you an academic
truly the thing that stands out with Doom (and Half Life, and Quake, and Marathon, and--) is that we used to let level designers be bastarding little tricksters in a way that even the Good Level Design shooters of the 2010s onwards forgot

Ben Fleuter@benfleuter.bsky.social · 5d agoWiccanery - a 6 page self-contained comic in on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/derelict This is part of another anthology that should be released in print at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social I'll release the full version here in a couple months but for now, $4+ Patreon supporters can read the whole thing.
Instead of retweeting the same image with alt text, bluesky should let people add alt text to the original if none exist. The result would be so catastrophic that everyone would make sure to include it from the start

Didn't get it all finished - turns out raw ambition isn't the only ingredient needed for something finished - but I have more than I had before. Next time, I'm not going to try to put video game mechanics in my TTRPG dungeon 😅
