I can be found at @parrotttom.bsky.social on Blue Sky, and my current plan is to migrate there completely at some point in the near future (likely once I feel like enough people have been able to that I'm not abandoning folks who have no choice).
Alright, y'all, I think I'm done with Twitter. It's been real, it's been fun, but at times it hasn't been real fun. You can catch me at Bsky if you wish to catch me. I'll leave this up for like a day or two before I actually close out my account so peeps can see it. 🫡

The great difficulty of cosmic horror is, how do you really capture the unknowable? How can something written by a human really portray something that exists outside of all human experience?

I just finished watching Requiem for Vengeance. Just all around really great IMO. I wish there was more stuff like it.

SHINJI GET IN THE GODDAMN MECH
Working on adding non-mech units into the game for helicopters, tanks, etc.
Our programmer added this cosmic horror inter-dimensional being instead…👾
Feels kinda cute though, might delete later. What do you think?

Reading an article about Irrational back when they tried to work with the XCOM property (before XCOM:EU) and... what they did was immediately try to throw away the turn based part and make it a FPS.

Lowkey my favorite joke in Quest for the Holy Grail is that one of the "Frenchmen" doesn't understand French and the others have to keep translating their comments into English for him.

Transhumanist themes, but high fantasy. Golem and undead body mods. Magical self duplication. Not as obscure background stuff or villain fodder, but a major focus.

Got my FEMA moneys, time to live large and kick up my heels.
...by which I mean nothing changes and I can pay bills I was struggling to meet because of lost wages.

Whulp, the DLC campaign for @wildermyth pushed it from 'this was really good' to 'i will proselytize for this long term', and also put it on the short list of 'games I have cried about the endings of'
The Omenroad DLC, a Walk in the Unlight, genuinely tied it all together.

How many TTRPG systems have you purchased in your lifetime? Ballpark, you don't have to know an exact number.
Any system you purchased a rulebook for qualifies, even if it was "just" a player's book. If all you purchased was a premade adventure, don't count that.

I love things from beloved classic books that would never fly in a modern book.
Like, Gandalf's whole speech to the Balrog. He makes sudden repeated deep lore dives that never get explained in the book proper.
I feel like an editor today would be like wtf.

One of the small details that ended up being super fun I did in a game was actually institute the 'if you say their name, they can sense it and use it to come to you' thing for demons.

Okay, so, you're playing a game. You get a chance to level up, or you find a new equipment, something is giving you a stat boost. You can either improve your character's strengths, or eliminate one of their weaknesses. Which would you pick?
