When budget allows I plan to put a two seater couch to the left of the desk. A small coffee table out from that. On the wall behind me, bookshelves. Movie posters are going everywhere else in here.

Movies and TTRPGs are my jam. I have lots of thoughts. I run a 5.5e Sandbox. Bro adjacent, definitely friendly. Older, more ornery these days. Editor by trade.

Rec would have turned out a lot differently if this guy had been the cameraman.

Played some strange video games in my youth. One was a platformer where you were an alien with suction cup hands. Another was a platformer where you were a kid fighting vegetables. There was one where you were in a space ship and you fought evil robots with rock and roll.

@Goblinfights I’m starting to think the great blending of game mechanics and formats have been a net negative.

On the contrary, I think Pedro should be below the suit performers billing.
olive 🩵 big pipe, huh?@ct_girlie
if your takeaway from this is "he was never in the suit" and not "they have pushed for more respect and representation for the often unsung roles" idk how to help you

@Goblinfights @WorldofWeirth I hold the Mass Effect series as the ideal of the “relationship” system. It wasn’t all about sex. You create real moments of friendship and some great story moments spring from that across the narrative. We could have that again, if only…

@movieguyjon @WorldofWeirth Furthermore, these romances are always poorly written juvenile fantasies for certain demographics of people. I do not care for them.

RPGs will not be good again until things like romance are no longer seen as integral components of the formula.

RPG developer Josh Sawyer says Obsidian Entertainment is not against romance systems like the ones in Baldur’s Gate 3. He explained that these features take a huge amount of time, money, and work to create properly. “It’s not like an opposition to their existence,” Sawyer said. “It’s just that I don’t know if we’re going to be able to do it.” Sawyer said romance systems need a lot of extra writing, voice acting, cutscenes, and character reactions. Because of this, Obsidian would rather focus on other parts of a game instead of adding romances that feel incomplete or low quality. He also said players now expect romance content to be as detailed as Baldur’s Gate 3, which raised the standard for RPG games. Sawyer added that Obsidian still cares about emotional stories and character relationships.

@Goblinfights @WorldofWeirth I kind of have a different take. I would rather they make 20-30 hr CRPGs with solid relationship mechanics. 80-100 hr CRPGs are not sustainable and the branching choices alone make it a nightmare. BG3 is already paced like 2-3 distinct games with connective tissue.

@WorldofWeirth There were decent RPGs on the computer, for a short time.

Just got back from Dethklok at the Palladium. My ears are still ringing!

Well worth it. A really fun game and an interesting story. The roguelike aspect wore out its welcome for me about 80% of the way through the game.

@WorldofWeirth In my case it was a very focused goal of just head down, do the work, and provide. Would be lying if I said there weren’t a frequent amount of times I wanted to just jump ship.

@movieguyjon Remarkable, isn't it?
I lost a job I hated once & it took a few days until I realized I was the dummy for staying there.

The thing doing a number on me right now is the feeling of relief at being let go.

I didn’t have this outcome in mind at the time or else I would have cleaned these old projects up a little more. Going to have to do some prestidigitation on them to be able to export out sample videos for my resume.

I didn’t do so bad at keeping track of my old projects over the years. Hasn’t been difficult compiling them onto personal drives. Nice!

@EveraeGames I’ve been doing my best to ease the ton of work my absence dumps onto my coworkers and to realize I’m done with a bunch of it is very freeing. Feels great and awful. 😛

@movieguyjon Means you are meant to do something else. Deep down you didn’t want to do what you were doing.
Hugs, been through it myself previously and it isn’t easy.

@ScythianB I’m only a chapter in at the moment. House has been a little too crazy for me to get very far. But I’m sure I’ll have thoughts at some point.

The problem with being in the process of moving is that all my tabletop stuff is packed away in boxes. All I have is this book that just came in…

Welp! Time to dust off my YouTube and make those mega bux being all controversial.
