@PleasantKenobi As someone who specifically works in licensed video games - we pay the licence because it increases the sales by more than the cost. I think that the UB products so far have aptly demonstrated that is also the case here.

For those of you who really want to justify price increases in Magic to "Cover the cost" of licensing, how does this work in literally every other industry? Why are licensed video games not more expensive? Why was my ticket for the Barbie movie the same price as Openheimer?

I think anyone who sees my tweets would know about this already - but this rules so far, and the writing and narrative design in general is genuinely so fresh and funny

@ChrisKMooney As a player of 3 different Saproling decks, Xavier gave me a 4th. Mycotyrant also rules. More fungus among us please.

Now that enough time has passed, I’m collecting thoughts on Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander. I’d love to hear your favorite legendary and favorite non-legendary cards were! #wotcstaff

@AliasVEDH Who would be the dream guest for Hijinks?

It's that time of year again! Airport AMA me, ye who follow and have not muted me!

@PleasantKenobi It's literally two of MaRo's twenty lessons learned. Resonate with things people know, and piggyback those themes to teach game mechanics.

Innistrad is one of the most trope driven genre-exploration Magic has ever done, and it ended up being one of the best sets and settings ever. Pointing out that Magic is engaging with a genre (western for example) isn't a criticism. It's base level perception. Media literacy 1/2

New post: Infinity Is Trash (And That's Okay) A blog about generative AI, infinite television series, and Spelunky. "If you've staked anything on the success of generative AI, your argument has to be that something amazing coming. But what will it be?" cohost.org/mtrc/post/1957…

2022 has been a great year for indie games but 2023 could be just as good. Here are 10 games that I think are worth looking out for next year. #indiegames #indiegame #indie youtu.be/-k6zqVmUVRw

#PROCJAM is BACK for another year of jamming, generative fun, and our best buds at @7dfps. Mark the dates in your calendar: December 9th is when we kick off! We'll have more news during the week 💜

@SimoRoth 2 years is about what it took me. Combination of personal projects and home schooling kids through COVID.

We recently opened hiring for a number of associate / entry-level game designer roles. This is exciting and a great opportunity. While looking at and talking to a lot of candidates, some things stood out to keep in mind when applying for jobs. No surprises here but a 🧵(1/18)

@ashdcuk I remember that all too well!

Remember this @dynamicsporadic ? 😬

@philippawarr Captivated Toad

tweet me a creature and an emotion - i'll try to do a new set of prompt art at some point this week :)

@Jam_sponge Did the cold hat melt?

@SimoRoth Can this be repurposed as a cold tub? I feel this will be answered in the coming week.

Excited to share this piece on the archaeology and history of Elden Ring! I was very glad to get the opportunity to write about the political implications of lore in the game. Thanks to @nielsen_holly and @ArchaeologyGame for chatting with me. #archaeogaming #FromSoftware

@pyrofoux I have a field that means things cease to work around me when they are being demonstrated. Machines snag. Code crashes. Electronics flicker. "It was working fine a minute ago!". Sure.

Tell me what's your oddest / most dangerous skill and I'll give it to my TTRPG campaign's final boss. It's a human that can use the skills of the people they've eaten, and I need a huge random table.

@Pentadact Celeste 🏔️🚩 Halo 3 🛺 Red Dead Redemption 2 👊😷

Without spoiling any details, what games had the best endings? I'll get a few out of the way: Portal Inside Disco Elysium

@mtrc Winners Spirit best instant speed response is Generous Gift which will just mean they now have to fight an elephant.

Ok ignoring the rest of the prompt, just deciding between these two:

Hello and welcome to my new AI competition I’m hosting for IEEE COG 2022.
