"Tendentious" is that feeling when you have someone you consider a friend falling into a few annoying habits.

Martyr! is not a bad ride, but it's tendentious.

Entry ?: 60,000 words of novel

Read: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

Interesting exercise in voice, but I honestly don't care for it. It's too repetitive.

Oh my God, Temporary Secretary was occasionally played at a board game cafe I frequented. I have audiovisual synesthesia and it drove me *nuts*!

I was just thinking about really basic core systems and a lot of combinatorial variety. Nothing too deep.

Not a killjoy scold at all. I'd like to say that most of us hate the ladder, but many of us just dislike our rung and would love to have our foot in the jackboot.

Two great ways to determine someone's character: watch how they treat animals and watch how they treat the homeless.

Something good can almost always be won from ridiculous constraints, but these rose-tinted glasses are basically a shade of crimson. A happy medium is more than possible.

I'm sorry for your straits. Valnet is the absolute worst, and it seems like you really needed that income.

Bookmarking to maybe pass some good karma along if work picks up for me.

Much of the profiles are now locked if you don't have an account. This is unfortunate since I often want to peek at a designer's profile and see what their favorite games are.

Exactly.

Convenience is actually an inconvenience if you weigh success by character rather than time.

Some things are not worth doing, and the choice to pay costs to complete an idea makes sure that the idea's worth completion.

Rights were established because there was enormous advantages inherent in breaking them at the cost of happiness and peace.

They aren't arbitrary lines. They're drawn at points that tyrants found very, very useful to exploit.
