Sexual predation is clearly not limited to the arts, and so-called "whisper networks" exist in every profession. And ultimately these networks always, always fail. They don't reach the most vulnerable and they don't ever remove the offender or prevent future harm.

I’m thinking of playing Xenoblade Chronicles, where they want you to collect a bunch of things to make things, but there’s a limit on both things. When it’s a random process and a main feature of building your stats up. I was just stunned

Now, I get that maybe *I* get more frustrated about it then most people, but it's a video game, it already requires an amount of make-believe, just let me carry 900 robo-gears for crafting

In my experience, inventory limits are almost ALWAYS a source of frustration, unless it is a CORE concept of the game. Pacific Drive is the most recent example I can think of, the inventory is part of the core gameplay loop, but also expands out as you progress.

The biggest problem with "TTRPG discourse" is that everyone thinks there's One Specific Perfect Way to Play that they just need to figure out and really all you need to do is chill the fuck out and play the game with your friends

Thirty years ago was 1994. I was nine and had a diagnosis for ADD (what is now ADHD) and a prescription for ritalin. There were three kids in my homeroom with peanut or other food allergies, including my shellfish allergy. The WHO was three years away from its much maligned obesity definition.

I think the preconception that "PC Gaming" means "playing with a mouse and keyboard at a desk" needs to end. You can VERY easily have a PC that displays on your TV and uses a controller. It's 2024. We've figured it out

#PortfolioDay again!

My name is Luis, I'm an illustrator (and ex-concept artist) from Portugal and I also teach concept art.

I unexpectedly became more known for my interpretations of famous games.

Commissions closed for the coming months, looking mostly to grow here! Cheers!

I think it's really funny how Pokemon recognizes that people *LOVE* shiny pokemon, but then make very specific decisions to (in my opinion) fuck with shiny hunters, some intentional, some probably unintentional. I would love the chance to talk to the designers about it, get their direct thoughts
