Sage: To save the world from ruin, you must master all the elements. Hero: Yes! I will begin with the power of fire! Sage: (pulling out periodic table) Actually, let’s start with rhodium.

The long running "investigate Spittoon" action in West of Loathing is so good. I love that not only does the narrator get more exasperated every encounter, the description of each Spittoon gets worse & worse. Masterclass in letting the player do the awful thing and rewarding them with more awful.

It's been ages since I've played Kingdom of Loathing, but I still have a pavlovian response to the number 11. It's ridiculous, it's not even funny. #KingdomOfLoathing #KoL

the concept of a "true clown" is underutilized in fiction to my knowledge, it's mostly just Kingdom of Loathing and a couple of Dimension 20 seasons that portray "real" clowns. a guy in a gorilla costume isn't a gorilla. real gorillas exist. a True Clown is like that.

Laughing, crying, throwing up, etc. to have a debut novel coming out in spring 2028. It’s a funny literary novel called HENRY GOODWOLF about a legendary monster hunter and the limits of understanding.

Start by offering little miniature vans to warhammer enthusiasts and then slowly give them bigger ones over time

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

Kudos to House House as a studio for staying small and taking their time. That’s how to survive for the long haul. In any event, Big Walk is fantastic and you should play it with three of your friends if you haven’t already!
