Spellbreak Dev Tracker

@cheersitskatie I managed to keep leading a top raid guild secret from my then girlfriend for like 5 years. When she eventually found out, she said, "this is super nerdy but if you're going to do this, at least you're doing it well"

@TLOgg @Reddit Narwhal is an okay replacement for Apollo but yeah my usage is WAY down.

@far33d HA!

@far33d You're just that much deeper into the a capella scene!

@far33d Wait whhhhhaaaaaat this may single-handedly redeem all those damn arch sings

@cydereal @jaugustine Patiently biding my time.....

@Maide They let you take the test in a car?!??

(Grats!)

@TLOgg Legit miss gamedev book club. This is a fine time for its return!

@TLOgg Not to mention unmatched productivity!

Both Twitter AND Reddit telling me to not use them today as an intentional "feature" is quite a strategy. July's looking like a great time to pull back further on socials.

@DiMentoXP I can buy that! A big enough sand/toybox leads to a very broad field of exploration and discovery.

@AndrewGotow Yeah the Elite team does wild stuff and I love it!

@Lythiara Even assuming data mining was solved and near impossible, the internet in general makes it a real challenge with YouTube, discord communities devoted to solving / sharing, optimization tools, etc

My white whale of game design: "is it still possible to have meaningful mystery and discovery in game at a large scale?" https://twitter.com/Dansgaming/status/1673666661663096832

@Pawl_Murray And in this heat no less! Florida Paul coming through

@svenj Yeah, conversation with him always had some crazy twists and turns given his background.

A coworker a few decades back had a wild career trajectory:
- BA was math (or physics?)
- MA in Poetry
- Xerox PARC doing research
- Content designer for a few years on MMOs
- Left games to teach poetry to undergrads

Once an ex and I were sitting around reading. Suddenly she flung her book into the corner where it joined a big pile of others.

"Are you okay?!"
"I wasn't enjoying it. When something's bad, I toss it in the corner and ignore it."

She taught me a good life lesson for all media.

@cydereal Put the skill tree inside another skill tree duh

@cydereal does "playing" include just puttering around in path of building for hours on end? ...
