The right would have swept both of those elections without trump (ironically) making them unpalatable by association. the canadian liberal party was headed for a landslide loss before all the 51st state stuff. “American voters are uniquely stupid/bad” is absolutely not the lesson to take from this.

It’s easy to forget autism is different for every person. for me it just means I avoid eye contact like the plague and really like Star Wars, but there are other autistic people out there who are unable to perform basic tasks without assistance. low-functioning autism IS a disability.

I’ve never had the “sorry we missed you” thing happen to me. Maybe because porch pirates aren’t really an issue out here in rural NH?

I want to sit down the people who play up 4chan as some kind of horrifying boogeyman and make them read a +30,000 word /diy/ thread of people mocking each other’s carpentry.

But I need this in order to realize my dream of becoming the “guy from a warrior culture that follows his people’s code of honor” It’s one of my favorite sci-fi tropes.

I’ve been told by multiple people in different creative fields the feelings of inadequacy don’t go away with success, but I still find it hard to wrap my head around.

This is unrelated but the minute I looked over and saw the replay notification on my phone, pentiment bugged out. Also Gowesty is cool, do you have a VW?

The easy times weak men thing is just 4th turning translated into hustle-culture lingo. Strauss and Howe definitely jumped the gun making a lot of big proclamations in their book, but I think “periods of hardship tend to self select for people with their shit together” generally tracks.

This is great. Divinity 2 turn-pilled me and I’m not sure I can go back.

I mean, those are all neat icing o the cake features, but is the core gameplay loop a significant innovation for the last game, or is it just more of the same open world “go take out this outpost” slop Ubisoft has been feeding us for the past +10 years?

If you ever go back to IGF with Caves of Qud 2 or something you should just drop people in a room with like a dozen Chrome Pyramids.

I actually hadn't heard of this book before your GDC talk (thanks for the pin by the way). But now I feel like I have to go read it. Will try to find the sickest cover I can.
