Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather
All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

If you see this, post your favorite Final Fantasy character.

Steiner is easily one of my favorite characters.

Trying out something new for Steam sales. Instead of impulse buying every game I see, I’ll add it to the cart for later. Then at the end of sales I actually see the total sum and can start pruning until I end up with games that’d actually merit purchasing, without going over budget.

you already know what's up

(steam sale rec thread is what's up)

as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weird games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!
an edited version of the box for the amiga version of Megatraveller 2, which features three space travelers on an alien world, gazin at a crystal tower, and in the distance, a space ship, a saturn esque planet, and one giant red planet at the top: SPACETWINKS REC THREAD below: Quest For some Weirdass Games left sidebar: VIDEO GAMES - A strange starfaring force that fills up your backlog and possibly alters your brain chemistry with some fucky thief raccoon or I guess it's some bug lady nowadays, w/e, followed by a picture of my fursona, a kangaroo bottom sticker: AMIGA yes, the Amiga had things other than crack screens and skunk furries like there were some really terrible licensed games too keyboard AND mouse supported. holy shit. unreal she amiga on my darkmere till joke to be determined later and where PARAGON SOFTWARE would normally be, PINK KANGAROO has replaced it

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.

Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Thinking about the immediate Metal Saga mechanic ending
Nina (Your character's mother): "So? Will you try out something more stable than being a hunter?" Our selection: "Ok. I'll be a mechanic." Black ending screen text: He would never fight a giant flying manta ray... Nor would he find a pet dog with heavy artillery on its back.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."
