I’ve recently gotten around to finally playing Hollow Knight. Since many of the people I talk to online enjoy watching play throughs of it, I thought I might as well record my own. So this is me going into the game blind. I’ve enjoyed the first few hours quite a bit. Will definitely do a…
Made a dumb recording error so it took me a bit to get this one out. Let myself get distracted by other fun things I want to do and didn’t make as much progress on the Dungeon Romp cards as I wanted to. It’s always easier to start new projects. But some of those new…
So I’m really bad at sitting down to type updates. Hopefully this will be a good solution. Ideally I’ll do one every week but we’ll see what the future holds. Not too much content in this one yet, just working on Project Dungeon Romp things. Getting that page fleshed out is next on the list…
Platforms and Pitfalls, one of the best game design podcast just finished a great series on dominant strategy mitigation. You should listen to them. I’ve had thoughts about each episode but never wrote them down or discussed them individually, so here they all are in one big chunk. Dominate strategies aren’t necessarily the best strategies…
Before I post any new videos (I have several in the works), I thought it would be good to post a short series I did a while back. Morn a member of some defunct forums I used to frequent did a Let’s Commentary instead of a Let’s Play. He played the game and sent the…
Every once in a while I actually play a game for fun. Recently after writing the Race to the Sky article, looking at other #BoRT articles I ran across this (Spoilery) article about Universal Paperclips on Matt Schmalzer’s great blog. Apparently this wonderful little clicker game is very popular but I hadn’t heard of it.…
So I’ve been practicing my front end development skills and it is always easier to work on things you’re interested in. I was curious about how the perks in Gloomhaven affected the percentages of drawing certain cards from your modifier deck, so I made a thing. It turned out well, could use a bit more…
The excellent podcast Platforms and Pitfalls asked for people’s thoughts on Final Fantasy 8 for their next show and instead of making an extremely long string of tweets I’ll type my thoughts here. Disclaimer it has been quite a while since I played through it, 10 years at least, probably more like 15. On the…
Unfortunately my energy has been going in several different directions recently, but that is changing, and all (or most) of those directions are showing progress. Thumbpocalypse is essentially ready to be released. I just need artwork that’s better than the crappy stuff I made in paint. I’ve had a very good lengthy conversation at the…
Hard at work on non game related stuff the last few weeks, but my mind has definitely been here wanting to do some more. So here is what to expect in the near future: The site will actually exist in some form, not just the blog. It might change a bit as my general web…
