Ha! Nothing like players who can’t wait to take whatever involuntary world-building you’ve given them and turn it into an entirely new problem for both of you. You try to throw someone a treat or pull some flavor text out of your ass and suddenly you have someone trying to negotiate sticking a couch in their bag. Which, if I’m honest, I don’t mind too much. It’s fun to see what they’ll latch onto and what will fly over their heads to bite them in the ass later. One of the many joys of tabletop gaming.
Gamers Aren’t Toxic
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
Dear Hollywood: Do a Mash Reboot
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
Good Robot Dev Blog
An ongoing series where I work on making a 2D action game from scratch.
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
Ah, courtesy, generosity, and noblesse oblige.
The best roleplayers are the ones who can avoid treating these as foreign concepts to be exploited.
Has Aragorn been reading Elrond’s copy of Who’s Who? How does he know there is a princess?
They’ve got long hair; they’re all princesses.
Sounds like a sitcom pitch to me!
It’s a fantasy kingdom run by horse riders.
There’s either a princess and a problem, or there’s a lack of princess and that’s the problem.
It’s a crowded field, but I think the exchange between the DM and Legolas in this may be my favourite joke in the entire comic. 15 years after I first discovered it, “Oh man, sucks to be you” “Oh come on, you aren’t even trying. I know you can do better than that” still gets a laugh, and “Hark, they fate sucketh?” “That is… much worse” is burned into the core of my psyche, and I wish I could find more everyday uses for them.
Thanks so much for this whole project, it’s a worthy tribute to a very, very funny man.
