I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • Really cool idea - a bread bowl but it's not 7,000 calories. What will they think of next!

  • RTJ is so fucking good at bringing that class conscious fire in the belly that RATM did. To be honest though, I think acts like Brass Against are keeping the music and the message alive and deserve a lot more visibility.

  • Imagine being his translator though. Maybe you used to believe in him. Maybe you even buy into the shit he's saying. But you still know, deep down, that you work for an insane man who will kill you as soon as he realises you think he's insane.

  • Yeah but everyone still just plays Dungeonbone, there's no escaping it

  • It's not good!

  • They asked for unhinged; I happen to be a connoisseur.

  • Bonus points if you use necromancy to reanimate a drow's head merely as a whimsical red herring to keep guests from realising their peril. Long live Jambi!

  • You asked 😙

  • Yeah well, science isn't good at proving stuff that isn't true... The real mystery is how we get the truth to be as persuasive as an oil lobbyist.

  • What I'm saying is, if you were a dragon, why wouldn't you choose to be Pee-Wee?

  • New NPC idea, a dragon in human form. He lives in a magical playhouse full of creatures and guests, and casts a wish every single day just doing things for fun. A nearby king must personally bring cartoons to placate the dragon.

  • Shout out to all the people out there who never asked but still try to listen patiently

  • The presence of LLMs has really cast a pall on creative writing. I want to find a positive spin on it; some call to action or a challenge to be met... I wonder what the people of Star Trek would do in our shoes.

    Should we be letting LLMs change how we write, though? What is an artist's best, most meaningful choice in this situation? I still don't know.

  • I didn't get that impression. I'm also someone who will write a lot, incidentally recapitulating a point or two along the way, and it takes genuine high stakes to convince me to edit down.

    I think these days, people are conditioned to see a page of text and always have that suspicion. Sadly it doesn't help when the writing style is friendly, cheerful, and easily understood - it's being copied by LLM makers for a reason.

    Thank you for writing about this project. Game preservation is still undervalued, even in the age of Stop Killing Games imo. Indie creators like Alkazar aren't going to change the world perhaps, but Kazeta certainly signifies an ideal that should not be forgotten.

  • I can do that and I'm pretty sure I'm a fucking nutter

  • Lickspittle gets too little usage these days

  • If we had a hundred more like him, we'd be laughing.

  • Watching my kid eat well. These days that's enough to make me feel calm and contented.
