Hey! I've been getting a large influx of followers today... so lemme introduce myself!

I'm Nick! I'm a 40 yr old #ttrpg #gamedev from CT! I write games because I want to arm people with joy to combat the despair the world tries to drown us in.

I'd like to submit to #ttrpg court (and @theneoncaster.bsky.social ) that cronching is a form of cheating at the table. At least if you use the same die over a long period due to your teeth wearing the die down and thus, changing the distribution of weight of the die and affecting probability.

Semi related. One of my first experiences with racism was getting pigeonholed into being Roadblock whenever we played G.I. Joe.

My mom got me a Roadblock action figure before this happened that I was very proud of.

Didn't know why being Roadblock had me f'd up. I just wanted to be Snake Eyes.
So, what if I got to talk to my child self and told him "So one day you're gonna make money by selling adults entire books of ideas on how to play pretend more like you"

I think he'd be proud, but also confused as to why I didn't ensure he got to be his favorite TMNT everytime instead.

One of the most frustrating things about social media is seeing someone in my orbit make a post like "Ugh, are we really having a discourse about (bad take)?" and then despite me searching I literally can't find anyone who posted that bad take. I only ever see the aftermath, never the real discourse

When GTA6 are comes out I'm pretty sure the joke can continue as "X coming out after GTA6 is crazy!" cause how could you be THAT late?

Video game heroes be like:

HEY BBEG! You better be nice to the kingdom or I will repeatedly die for 15-60 hours until I finally can make you PAY FOR IT.

Just got my flu and covid vaccine at my local walk in clinic, uninsured for $44 all together.

They needed a vaccine record and all I had on my was my HPV vaccine record from my gyno and they counted it.

It’s okay to get it now if you still need it. Some protection is better than none

GO GET IT
If you are uninsured and need vaccines, including an updated COVID vaccine, look at your local county health services website and find the county health clinics.

Many of them have a walk in vaccines once a week or so, or a mobile health can schedule where you can get up to date for $30 each one

#ttrpg... here me out!

I think I just came up with a solution for how I'll do mapping stuff in #ScarSeal!

A checkerboard. Red pieces are floors and Black Pieces are walls by default. The powers of game entities can push them around or shift the entire board with gravity matching the orientation

I think I'm gonna start streaming SoulFrame regularly. 6pm Fridays.

Also, I want to do a separate little side project. Don't know how much people would need it, but I've played with enough folks that seemed to need it: A basic primer to combat in action video games.

This is so true it hurts. Even popular let's play people are more focused on chat, making jokes, or doing whatever gains the most attention. Which inevitably means they begin griping about being lost and saying the game is bad. (And leads to me yelling at the screen to pay attention)
"Player who does not pay attention may be confused," has been a problem forever, but our modern age makes distraction easier and high-level folks especially scared of any friction. I believe in getting information flow right, but the "please handhold more" directions I got were rough sometimes.
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

Sometimes I think there's a bit of a reflexive urge to decide that if "gamers" are complaining about something then that thing must actually be good, and in a post-Gamergate landscape I kinda understand that, but sometimes a thing can just suck ass on its own merits

Everytime System Doesn't Matter discourse raises its ugly head and glances in my general direction, I go immediately into fight or flight.

I think everyone who says it causes an angel to lose its wings.

If you say this your game probably sucks ass, I'm not sorry, I actually make the rules lmao
I just feel like if you say "system doesn't matter" and you're a game designer I don't know how I'm expected to ever take your games seriously.

All the loot you come across is for STR mains, everyone thinks you're a DEX guy, but really you're just a little Arcane fella that wants to be a Reduvia wielding bud without people judging you.

In brighter news. I really like Bruno Mars. That boy got some pipes.

That's all. Music is rad.

I think with all of the death, disease, and other damned forms of suffering surrounding me at this time, I need to rally myself around my purpose as a game dev and get back to work. I don't have a full time job at the moment so I should focus on doing what I can.
