When it’s released, it’ll be on YouTube.

What are you talking about? The graphic novel was a National Book Award finalist. It won a Printz and an Eisner and a bunch of other awards. It was a really big deal, and it’s about the experiences of being a Chinese-American teen feeling split between two identities and belonging to neither. It isn’t pandering to…

Hahahahahah holy shit

Holy shit, Ten Candles is extraordinary. One of my absolute favorite games, and the best marriage of mechanics and atmosphere I’ve ever played. I’ve never been more immersed in a game.

I just got my copy of Fall of Magic in the mail this week, and it’s maybe the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen in the TTRPG space. I’ve also got Fiasco plans in my future, my husband is spinning up to run something in Monsterhearts, and we’re looking towards playing some of our other recent narrative-heavy…

The WARN Act is federal US law that requires 60 calendar days of notice before mass layoffs or closings. It just only applies to companies with more than 100 employees, and there are a handful of exceptions to it. It’s one of a handful of exceptions to Right to Work laws.

I’m listening to the eleventh vote now (McCarthy has already lost), and definitely heard Ruppersberger of MD vote with an extremely “Leeeeeeroy JENkins!” tone when he voted for Jeffries. It’s not impossible, but looking at a photo of him I have to wonder if it was coincidence.

See, I fucking really like Haneke/Funny Games and really dislike Roiland. That might just be me, though--and I’ll be honest, I’m always going to be biased towards the creator who can be up his own butt WITHOUT also being an NFT bro.

The idea of a game which mocks you, the player, for expecting a traditional structure while also playing out a traditional structure (but also saying “fuck you!” throughout) sounds just… kind of annoying. It sounds extremely Justin Roiland being proud of himself for making a fart noise and doing his one voice again.

Whew, I loved Manhunt.

I know the whole game here is personifying and ascribing agency to these algorithms until we can justify art theft. But no, those chatbots didn’t “decide” that their language was inefficient. They didn’t “decide” anything, because they are not agents or actors, they are programs. More complex than other programs,…

Oh shit, my spouse just picked up Women Are Werewolves at PAX! We’re really looking forward to playing, and we hadn’t heard of it before.

It’s not singling her out??? It’s an article about her recent behavior????? I did not choose at random to talk about Sinema specifically below an unrelated article???????

I don’t really see any of them as all THAT significant, but I’m a bit of a genre anarchist to begin with. If it sort of makes you ~feel~ like it’s a roguelike, I’m not gonna take the time to get mad at anyone calling anything a roguelike.

You will be unsurprised to learn that this take is just as wrong about Bastion/Transistor/Pyre/Hades as it is about Final Fantasy 1-3.

Who gives a shit about fit at any size? The problem is not when or if someone is fit. A person does not cease to be a person whether or not they are fit. That’s the thing of it. That’s what matters. A person is not less of a person for being less fit, and the very idea that someone’s physical fitness or lack thereof…

“Most politicians are corrupt; therefore, it is naive to spend ten seconds writing a derisive comment on the internet when someone is corrupt.”

I’ve heard four or five different ways to distinguish between roguelikes and rogue-lites, including progressing between runs, the use of obscured information (e.g. potions with an effect you can only discern by drinking them), turn-based action, and more. It just doesn’t seem like a valuable way to distinguish between…

This fool was Green before she was a Dem, and she’ll be an Independent until she’s a “Reasonable” Republican. She has no principles except those which she is instructed to have by her corporate sponsors.

That’s syncretism, baybeeeeeeee
