Kaizen Game Works - Promise Mascot Agency OUT NOW! 🛻✨💕 @kaizengameworks.com · 9h

Inspired?

Everything we do in life is influenced in some way by Mr Blobby, he mentally scarred all British people of a certain age. If you know, you know.

The Dr. Spotty hero card was our homage to our nightmarish OG.

"To-Fu's therapist. British. His delinquent cousin works in TV."

Systems design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; it drops 25 xp, 2x leather, 1x meat.

Narrative design: you have two cows. one of the cows dies; the other cow uses a salience-based storylet system to react with an appropriate bark ("moooo")

3c design: you have two cows. they can airdash

If we make it illegal to steal paintings from the Louvre then the entire industry will be unsustainable

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

You know how in RPGs an enhanced version of an item is a "+1"?

My local MP is thankfully one of those actively advocating for trans rights; if one can do it, they all can.

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I'm guessing all the maidcore artists but also that might be too obvious. And yeah Yakui is good. Don't remember how I found them either

a tweet by toby fox that says "I didn't try to learn Japanese for a long time because I thought it would be too hard. But now I love learning it and I use it every day.

If there's anything you want to learn, don't be stopped by thinking it'll be too hard! Try it! Game-making, music, art, language, anything!"

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne:

hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o...

Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

A graph titled Scope of video games according to Hushcrasher Classification System. The Y axis shows Game Size (from 10 MB to 100GB), the X axis shows Credits count (sourced from Mobygames).

The clustered dots on the graph represent 4 distinct scale categories of games - Kei, Midi, AA, AAA. The larger correlation between the size and the credits means larger category of a game.
