This looks like the desk I use now for game dev. I've got a stack of blank CDs, figures, a controller, games in box, and heaps of books tangentially related to making games. I had a similar flip phone until recently giving up mobile phones altogether.

I'm saddened to read of Neil's passing. I didn't know him personally, and I've never even played a SaGa game, but Neil always seemed so positive, and I really looked forward to his posts here. He seemed like such a nice guy.

Works for game dev, too. I actually have a quote by screenwriter Blake Snyder under my computer monitor reminding me to stay positive while I make my video game.
Advice for your screenwriting career, no matter what stage.
Your attitude matters. Both personally and professionally.
Fight off cynicism and bitterness and victimhood. Fight it off with everything you've got.
It helps you zero, and NO ONE wants to be around it.

I'm making a game without AI. Many gamers want my kind of intentionally crafted game, but wouldn't be able to find it beneath a mountain of AI games. Itch's "No AI" search function will help them find the games they want to play.
itch now lets you hide AI-made games in search results too
Tick "No AI" and you only see games where the dev has declared no generative AI was used. Also filter by AI graphics, audio, text or code
Should Steam add a filter like this next?

Did you know the theme for "What's Happening!!" was written by the great Henry Mancini?! Just found out today. This is like listening to my childhood. youtube.com/watch?v=kFmKmJFS…

The Zelda puppets remind me of the Sherlock Holmes TV show written by my favorite Japanese film maker, Koki Mitani. I enjoyed watching it when it aired in 2014.
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake Art Director Aya Shida confirms the game's design was inspired to be like a puppet show!
"To help the team understand what we were aiming for, early in development we used phrases like “a puppet-show feel” and “the analog feel of practical effects films” as keywords.
Neither puppet shows nor practical effects films reproduce reality exactly as it is. Even so, both create a convincing sense that the characters truly exist within their respective fantasy worlds. We also felt that there was some overlap between these forms of expression and the distinctive nostalgia evoked by the original game."

An example of where I prefer the North American box art. Unfortunately, the dog is cropped to an undecipherable brown lump. The composition works better as a poster.

A success.
Six pounds of polyhedral magic. That’s what it took to arm the next generation of adventurers last night.
While the youngest monsters and heroes got a mountain of candy, every older trick r treater at my door walked away with three random dice, pulled straight from the hoard.
I was genuinely blown away by how many kids instantly recognized the sacred geometry. Their eyes lit up with pure, unadulterated excitement. A few didn't know what they were holding just yet, but I have a feeling they’ll learn the magic soon enough. Seeing their raw reactions was incredible, it’s exactly the kind of legendary loot drop I would have lost my mind over when I was their age.
It hit differently, though. When I first started rolling the bones, these dice were widely considered the tools of a "bad ritual." We were the generation that had to hide our character sheets and rulebooks, masking our pure enjoyment of the hobby just to dodge the panic of the era. We kept the campaigns alive in basements and shadows.
Seeing kids today openly thrilled to receive a handful of dice on Halloween proves that the game won. That is a torch I have proudly carried for decades, and it's one I will gladly keep passing to the next brave party that steps up to the door.

These vintage internally lit blow mold decorations have such a warm, inviting, and magical effect! @FensTheSpook's house is a visual treat.
Halloween Night at Fens Manor 🎃
My wife really does it up and the neighbors love coming by and complimenting her style!
Most if not all decorations are vintage and not reproductions!
