This is focused on video game design as far as I can tell, but there's loads of good wisdom in there for us RPG designers too.
(Most notably, on like line two, "some things we play are *better* than others".)

Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this.

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I won't be getting it anytime soon for various reasons but I was looking at the Plamax Bellvine and the sculpt is gorgeous... Painting one up in the Na/Original Billbine colors would rule. The head, the body meats, the joints, it's just such a gorgeous kit...

I'm back with this week's #Palisade #friendsatthetable post card, this time looking at the propaganda book-on-tape we built for the Frontier Syndicate, Exenchester March, City City and The Alter, intended to ape a sort of Randian art-deco aesthetic of self-aggrandizing, evil entrepreneurs.
