🎉 #roguelikecelebration talks are up! This is my talk on proc gen practitioners, a fun and lighthearted one with a D&D twist. If you enjoyed that tag yourself meme I made a few weeks ago, it was from this so please give the source a look 😄 m.youtube.com/watch?v=mYMdMA…

Good morning, goblins! We're kicking off talks shortly, but you've still got plenty of time to snag a pay-what-you-want ticket from roguelike.club and join us in the MUD! (You can also watch us on Twitch and YouTube, but the MUD chat is really where it's at)

I wrote about the many ways that Israel has made trauma a weapon of war. About how this exploitation betrays the victims of the past. And creates many more victims in the present. It was hard to write. It will be hard to read. I hope it helps. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

@ptychomancer I’ve bounced off MTG every time I’ve touched it but by the time I was done the chat I told Gavin that I maybe wanted to design Magic cards now, so yeah it’s a hella good interview imo 🤣

@lazerwalker I found one and am still holding on to it with the dream of being able to rewire it somehow to either be a functional headset or some kind of funky controller, which is a dream because I’ve yet to mess around with hardware 😅 one day!!

@catacalypto @MatthewGuz @maxkreminski I’ll say in my case, as someone who wrote a lot of the mental model part - I have no academic game background. I’m informed by my time in the field and tons of conversations with other designers, but that’s hard to cite 😅 I’d love to find research but didn’t know where to start!

@legobutts @catacalypto Hate that this launched me back 10 years, hate even more that I thought “would it really be 10 years?” and found out no, more like 20.

Getting the ads is so surreal! I spent 4.5 years on Nightingale, more than my degree or anything in my life. It’s bittersweet having been there at the start but not the end - I wish the team the best! And hope I’ll finally be able to talk more about that unique proc gen system 😉

@catacalypto I saw some LA coworkers mention an earthquake and thought, “I bet Cat is tweeting about this earthquake”

I now bear the cursed knowledge of a bunch of games and revivals that have been killed off over the years—because they didn’t look “expensive enough to succeed”. Didn’t have enough prestige. Served an audience, but couldn’t be aggressively monetized or live-service. 3/
