One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵

An email to support HAS shown me how to turn off their proprietary cloud and go back to iCloud. Discoverable it isn’t, so I’m sharing it here in case it’s useful to anyone else! (At step 4 I didn’t restart device, just force quit the app and restarted it)

Prepping to run Eclipse Phase at Orbtoberfest this weekend. I'm running the Ego Hunter adventure, which is one of my favourites, but it's been a looooong time since I've run any Eclipse Phase...

Teanson Boast is the greatest Star Wars character ever

Stoo Goff@stoogoff.com

I've used the "swap the first letters of a two word food" for NPC names when running the Star Wars RPG. That's how low-life scum such as Slizza Pice and hacker Teanson Boast were born

Final session of our long running Star Wars campaign tonight and this is my final note for the session

The problem with watching something on Channel 4 streaming is if it doesn't load the end of ad break sponsorship ad (Tesco whoosh in this case) it doesn't load the show and I get an endless spinner. The only fix is to exit the show and start again. Which loads from the beginning of the ad break...

It could just be a bug in the app for my TV but it means I have to watch double the ad breaks which makes me suspicious

After about eighteen months of back and forth it has finally been agreed that I can work a four day week. I look forward to spending some time making games again!

In the book I'm reading (Uprooted by Naomi Novik, it's genuinely excellent) a witch is instructed to turn barrels of beer and wine into cider so the soldiers don't get drunk and... soldiers drinking barrels of scrumpy sounds like a nightmare! Does cider mean something different in the US?!?

There are a couple of quotes in this which have blown me away! "The whole system has been put together and very obviously playtested thoroughly, if only all rule books were so well written!" "As a historical based TTRPG this is one of the best out there and deserves to be played at more tables."

We are officially 5 years old! Where has the time gone? We are still a small TTRPG magazine packed with reviews, articles, advice, and other TTRPG bits and pieces. Do give us a try and see what you think. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Oooh! I wasn't expecting this!

It got three seasons but ended on a cliff hanger so I would love another season of Santa Clarita Diet

Kevin Smokler@weegee.bsky.social

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about. What's yours?

I'm looking at a gushing review of Aegean on DriveThru which ends with "font is too small" and gives it 3 stars and comparing it to the "surprisingly meh" review, which also gives it 3 stars.
