  • I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. It’s an amazing game with a simple premise.

    I do worry that the desire to not let a game be done could lead to burnout from the audience though. I left minecraft behind because every update added less and less of substance, and asked me to come back and do something that didn’t really enhance the experience of my “completed” survival world.

    I understand that minecraft has not slipped in popularity for the masses, but for me it’s enough of a pain that I don’t play any more.

    Stardew Valley is great, and the updates we have received add a lot of content to the game, but it’s all stuff that makes an 11/10 game… still an 11/10. I would love the effort to go into Haunted Chocolatier, or other great projects.


  • It’s a nice idea, but a design feature built in to most countries is that the majority of people are too poor to skip a day of work. Losing their job, or simply not being paid for a days work could tip people into starvation, default on existing debts, or loss of access to expensive medication.

    Anyone high enough on the pyramid to be the target of such a protest does not care if the economy tanks. They control the country now, they can just defund education even more than it already is to line their pockets.



  • By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling

    What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?

    The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.

    You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.







  • Just give us the book. Why is “The Druid” a live event that I have to tune in for? I don’t need some fake-enthusiastic guy in a graphic tee trying to hype up the Wizard class. We know what that is, just get on with it. Is anyone who isn’t already on board with 6e going to be swayed by this stuff?

    This all reeks of AAA gaming promotion. They are trying to get that E3 Hype for a ttrpg, and you can feel the season passes and microtransactions being tinkered with in Beyond.
