"The game only exists in the player's mind" is a decent design philosophy. Lots of very good results come from that mode of thinking, which is why it's adopted by approximately 99% of the industry. But I don't think it should be treated like a universal truth.

Keep an eye out for this one. I don't play many games in "this genre", but I keep coming back to this; It's fun! (Also, I helped Lum a little bit with the board generation algorithm.)

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

It’s been 11 years since the Xbox One, and Microsoft still hasn’t released the Xbox Two. What’s taking them so long?

In spite of all the awful news happening around us, it’s important to take time to celebrate good news, even if it’s miniscule. Tonight: I’m celebrating the quality of life improvements that are coming to Deltarune (and the fact that it’s still making smooth progress!)
