  1. No one is perfect. Saying 'sorry' habitually is bad. Correcting it is important. Some mistakes are costly, especially elections, 5 years is a long wait. Be wise; take in all angles; don't be a stubborn nut. Possess an open mind. However, be practical, realistic and logical. Don't simply make decision out of spite. Everyone suffers. #characterbuilding #politics

  6. Second recovery parkwalk today, at sunny but breezy Cramond. Enjoyed it until the last km when I realised I’d probably overdone it, based on the unpleasant chest pain (don’t worry it’s “normal” for SCAD recovery). Finished a bit demoralised.

    At home I realised I might be able to hit 50 parkruns on my 50th birthday so decided to focus on that instead of trying to be faster, and next time I’ll walk a bit slower. Ego suitably chastised.

  11. Breaking Down Random Generation

    Random character generation is an artifact of older editions of D&D, with the OSR and other throwback movements embracing it wholeheartedly. In the present day both old-school D&D derivatives as well as the range of games derived from WFRP’s take on d100 mechanics are still locked in with random generation, with the classic ‘roll 3d6 six times in order’ being both common mechanic and a meme. The problem with random generation in this way is that putting characters arbitrarily at different places on a probability distribution, in effect making characters better or worse based on nothing but luck, is a pretty poor way to accomplish the ultimate goal of random character generation, which is to introduce variability to the type of characters that players ultimately play. In reviewing how a number of different games handle random character generation, specifically random attribute generation, I can’t help but think that these designers know that players don’t like random generation and don’t actually like rolling bad characters. It’s widely known what the most common response to early D&D’s attribute requirements for certain character classes was: Cheat! It therefore stands to reason that games which still commit to random generation either create a system that employs randomness more deliberately, or create a system which softens the blow of the dice.

    They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but they usually forget to mention the part where it feels like "some bullshit" while it's actually happening. I've realized so many of my best stories started as experiences that were awesome in theory but absolutely sucked to live through.

  25. Life is Strange: Expanding Day 1 – From Max’s Selfie to the First Signs of Something Strange

    The beginning of a television adaptation is the foundation upon which everything else rests. For Life is Strange, the game opens in media res, with Max glimpsing a terrifying tornado flash-forward during her photography class. While this works interactively, television requires a more deliberate approach. Audiences are passive viewers, so they need context, character, and world-building before being confronted with apocalyptic visions. In my vision for the opening of the Life is Strange TV […]

    "In these universes characters and settings are monetary assets, to be exploited, protected, and manipulated according to the owner’s wishes. Understanding them requires understanding what the owner wants: how this story fits not just with the other stories to which it is connected but into the ever-proliferating network of brand identity and profit opportunities of which it is a part. (This is one of the things that differentiates such corporate storytelling from mere sequels, and from the more familiar dictates of genres and adaptations.) It takes so much #metatextual awareness that it can feel, at times, like watching Hollywood movies made under the Hays Code, or like reading novels written under strict censorship. The best works of corporate storytelling are, in a sense, acts of quiet resistance, written in the blank spots of the #enforcednarrative."
