Aaronacious

I guess I've made a new thing for the Minimalist Game Jam, Fifth Edition (of the jam, not for 5e (it is not called that on the page I did not have to cause this confusion and then clarify it)) aaronacious.itch.io/tired

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

ABBOTT: Bloodborne was made in collaboration with Japan Studio COSTELLO: The Japanese Studio ABBOTT: They're both Japanese COSTELLO: Who is? ABOTT: FromSoftware and Japan Studio COSTELLO: Right the software is From a Japanese studio, what are they called? ABBOTT: [Seething] bsky.app/profile/jame...

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

Ultra-high-lethality OSR dungeon crawler where each dungeon level has its own character creation chapter for rolling up a new PC for surviving party members to recruit when you die on that level. Backgrounds, species, and even whole character classes may be unique to particular dungeon levels.

the only thing i'd argue with here is that it downplays how incredibly popular burning down the police station was both at the time and now

command and conquer's bad fur day

on the one hand I *do* entirely buy this on the other hand, uh, when does the creation part of the creative process happen, asking for a friend

The invincible airplane

The entire medical field in the UK should be instantly banned internationally. There duty is to the patience and, at no point, should government or personal beliefs should play a factor. Can't do that? Don't be a fucking doctor.

I've got some rpg zine in .af format; what should I be using to open that?

I'm kind of fucked here, tbh. I need this appointment to handle critical things this coming week. They are my brain to reality translators in ways it's hard to overstate. PLEASE halp

or just ignore me and watch this www.youtube.com/shorts/WP5_X...

STOP. PLAYING. FORNITE.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? TTRPG Dev: it's a fruitful void

look pink horse wow

an interesting and, imo, important read. what does capitalism begin to consume (and/or accelerate its existing consumption of) as it exhausts material avenues for expansion? how do we (as workers, as storytellers) push back?

interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me, an actor: What's my motivation for doing so?

sorry still thinking about how this guy thinks using an LLM is comparable to *directing a film* I have done directing! It is not even a little bit similar! it is an actual creative endeavor that requires effort, planning, expertise, and attention to detail!

Your daily reminder that paying actual artists and writers and programmers isn't just the morally correct choice, it's also often cheaper.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

it has an energy like those crypto bros who bought a copy of the pitchbook for Jodorowsky's Dune and thought that if they made it into an NFT then their "digital ownership" would supersede the actual IP rights

It appears that the url kickstarter.games links to Lonely Timbers - Tire-toi une bûche. What a convenient surprise. :)

Get Bump in the Dark along with hundreds of other cool games and scenarios in this bundle!

Honestly think it was killing Lesser Dog I absolutely *could not* maintain the Genocide Route after that

whenever I stream a game from the PS1 inevitably some mouthbreather will be like "youre only having fun because of your nostalgia play something more current" I AM YOUNGER THAN THE PS2. I DO NOT HAVE NOSTALGIA FOR THIS. I JUST LIKE THE ART BECAUSE I LIKE WHAT IT DOES

Out of overdraft with a little saved but still a little worried about the long trip home. Anything helps and thank you SO FRICKIN MUCH to everyone who's shared, donated, etc

Magic players dare to ask "are you ready for the big time?" to every new pushed legendary creature. Kermit, Showrunner (a five color creature with a Grand Abolisher effect in the Command Zone) responds "Is it ready for me?"

The Chess Prodigy - Smack My Bishop

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

I cannot stress enough how much tech guys have Always Been Like This. even before AI they were like this. they are simply bad people and bad parents.

If this doesn't float your boat I have 29 more that might here: not-jam.itch.io/not-jam-font...
