Sometimes i forget i have reverse SAD until it gets to autumn and i magically feel fucking great

1. DnD 5e 2. Savage Worlds 3. Dungeon World 4. Masks: a new generation 5. Ironsworn Then its mork borg and mothership and its all a rush from there.

I read a lot more games that i didnt play them, for example i read Blades in the Dark not long after getting into dnd which broke my brain. (being too autistic to realise other people dont search for other games doing different stuff)

Go brazil! Unlikely but not unwelcome outcome here despite everything meta and others attempted.

I really like in mothership just asking for saves whenever they encounter something gross (body) horrifying (fear) eerie (sanity) with the only negative being taking stress and asking/giving some negative reaction (puking, yellong, crying).

Video games are constantly reminding you vital information: "cut off their limbs" "fire destroys the biomass" - yet for some reason the moment it comes to TTRPGs people the general done this is: "why yes the players should magically intuit these things of course"

My mothership solo rules have hit a big snag (besides life getting busy) on where to go with it, particularly how to order it. (Maybe im overthinking it) do i: 1. keep it as it is, closer to the mothership manuals themselves where its each action + advice (think like solitary defliment)

So 1. Has headlines like - Violence - Hiding - Searching - Stress. With infromation for use across all sects of the game But 2. Has the same headlines but ordered under "Navigating Space", "Navigating the social" that repeat themselves but focus only on that part of play.

Combat in horror games is best when - its a temporary solution (scares away / respawning enemies) - limited resources (tension of falling short) - theres a time limit before it worsens (ie. Cronos new dawn kill them before they get stronger) - you can avoid it if needed (run)

- weapons are also tools (ie. Amnesia the bunker you use the gun to disarm mines ect) - their is a risk to using the best weapons (also The bunker, where firing the gun is loud which attracts it) - combat is a puzzle in of itself (dead spaces limb cutting)

Blog Post titled "do you want to make a horror game?" About how many OSR designers end up designing a horror game (and yay thats why i like them) without ever the intention to be designing a horror game (certainly not how old school dnd is supposed to be, right)

Sorry if you type "eh" i will neve read that as 'aye' (canadian?) Or 'er' (apparently british but wtf??) I will always read it as if you place an E infront an H.

Am i crazy for not understanding where all the sympathy for bioware studios stems from? beyond people losing their jobs ofc. But their recent games was a mass effect gamed memed for a bad ending, inquisition which was mid as fuck, anthem which was... anthem, and veilguard which was embarrassing

And bear in mind inquisition (a time waster of a game i despise) came out when i was 12. Their development was slow and plagued by absolute mismanagement. It seems mostly nostalgia which they dont have for audiences of my generation (and i loved dragon age 2 as a child, a game also criticised)

Is a tv even worth getting? Like smart tvs have awful ui, are super slow and spy on you. They always look like shit no matter how much you toggle the settings compared to a monitor. And any (payed) app or service on there is plagued by ads, when a Laptop/PC can use adblocker.

All the talk about lesser evil and nobody wants to acknowledge that abstaining from voting for a transphobic leader IS the lesser evil. It sucks, it hurts opposition to republican goals BUT voting for a transphobic democrat hurts opposition to republicans goals EVEN MORE

Besides its always on the politicians, not the voters. Otherwise you wouldnt have a democracy, you have a manufacturing consent machine.
