Descartes declared, "I think, I do! And space is just what matter's through! No empty spots! No gaps! No voids! Just endless stuff the world employs!"
Disappointingly, this is not a critical commentary on Descartes's Principles of Philosophy, Part II, Proposition 14.

I tried the demo for Tupperware Lesbians 3 at VinegarCom, it didn't show much about the story, mostly gameplay (the thrift shop mechanics are vastly improved) One cool thing is the autosave: every 15 min, the game recites a string of 128 numbers, you copy and then dial them.

in a couple weeks I'm gonna do a long stream where I play through Moondrop Isle, a game I helped make about exploring an abandoned 90's resort. It's gonna be fun!

Town squares are public places, no one pays premium to sit on a bench or feed the pigeons. Twitter is a run down mall.

this, ultimately, is the legacy of the internet I think; allowing the full capital capture of the full range of human sociality
privatizing our third spaces and mating processes was in fact very, very bad

Imagine seeing your mates getting cut in half by machine gun fire at Ypres and then living to see some dim bulbs turn it into War Halloween.

There were still a few WWI veterans knocking about when I was a kid, and I can imagine the reception this kind of bizarre behaviour would get. This stuff would’ve been considered incredibly crass and stupid as recently as the 80s and 90s.

No me gusta que, de encontrarse con los huecos en un mundo de juego, se pretenda que no existan y se prohíba su uso. Para mí es mucho más interesante abrazarlos. "¿Pero qué pasa si los magos crean demasiada plata y se vuelven demasiado ricos?" Dyd: No se puede Ars Magica:

What makes it possible to enter flow – the state of total focus and optimal performance – immediately? ⚡️ At the weekend, I discovered a great new example to illustrate what makes this possible, when I tried trapeze for the first time. 🎪 To reach flow instantly ... (thread👇)

More adventure games could stand to follow Loom or Discworld Noir's example and center most of the puzzles around a unique and thematically rich core mechanic.

I want to see the content grammar buckets these bots are drawing their names from. (Disappointing if just ChatGPT inventing unlikely European women.) It could just be done with a boring first name last name list, but perhaps it's more sophisticated to make unique combinations?

E.g., a name has to meet a fixed exoticism factor, forenames & surnames are weighed: if someone has an outré forename (Shela) they get lumped with a boring Surname (Sanderson) or vice versa. & to maximise uniqueness, both names aren't allowed to have the same country of origin.
