while i don't like kids using LLMs to pass writing assignments, I do feel for young people. The polarisation of everything means you're either a success or a failure - you're either incredible or a failure. You can't afford to be less than stunning, because no one's heard of you anyway

do you see the vision

See, I always love it when a film throws a bunch of money at a couple of academics like this. Fuck yeah Professor Adler, go hog wild in the set shop being uptight about the color of the stone walls

The arrest of online fanfic erotica writers (99% young women) in China is still ongoing, some are getting sentenced to 10 years in prison I didn’t see any newer international coverage of this but I saw on Weibo today that more writers are getting sentenced right now amp.scmp.com/news/china/p...

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Felt like I imagined a small pocket of where people posted some rate my commanders, but here: open.substack.com/pub/vazsunba...

That’s not the rule and you know it.

Is there a hashtag here for sharing video game production / producer knowledge? I want to both learn and contribute.

Alright, with the release of The Gathering, an #MTGJRPG less that 72 HOURS AWAY, let’s do one last push to get people excited about it! I will randomly choose ONE person who Reposts this and NAME AN NPC AFTER YOU! Bonus: Let’s hear about what YOU hope will happen in the game!

decades-long manhunt finally ends

Like high offense, but like i can’t help but say fuck off to this specifically For all the sffh writers, esp as one who writers werewolves

The only writing advice I stand by across the board is that you should read widely, read good writers attentively, take pleasure in their use of language-the rhythms, the imagery, the clarity, conviction, beauty, insight, whatever it is each has to offer. You have to feel the language in some way.

I dont care if Bluesky is dying. People reading my posts is secondary to my need to post

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

Uhura

Got to do a quick physical playtest of SPEEDMECH and the time tracker mostly works. I tried out something which limited the number of actions per time slot, but I think I’ll revert to the old way.

An AI could never. Support writers 🙏

Some more prompt answer flash fiction. I think one of them is NSFW? So be warned. archiveofourown.org/works/64768726

The reason I want more people to make games is because it's a very fun game to play. In the same way I recommend cool games, I want to recommend cool rules to play. Rules are very fun toys! TTRPGs in particular bring that front and center. It's fun to play with rules and it's fun to play together!

Ignore the sign, advice welcome at Playtest Zero! For our SEA-friendly session, join us next Tuesday, 27 May at 8 pm (GMT+8) over at the Session Zero Discord server to do some 1-hour playtests of TTRPGs/game bits and chat with other designers! (Image unrelated)
