Inaba's shifting moods, schedules and seasons ask you to spend your time there wisely.

This is a good article, I recommend reading it, forced tourist metaphor aside (who among us has not had to force a bit to make a cohesive article premise)

But I am going to dunk on the obligatory "does the author know there are numbers before 3" paragraph:

#I assume the author means 'oldest game available on current consoles'#but like that's not what the sentence says and I don't know how a reader unfamiliar with the series would know that #it just seems Wrong to a casual reader and it would be so easy to fix it's bugging me #but I enjoy the analysis of Inaba as a Place #Video Games! Space!#article recs

ooo this article about the shift in the value of character’s motivations and emotion in literature over the years was FASCINATING

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the latest big game to follow an inclusive (but divisive) trend in video game courtship

I don't want to be too mean because there's nothing objectively wrong with this article but the vibe I got reading this was like "it sounds like these are two valid approaches to writing romances and any flaws with them aren't inherent to the design choice so much as they're limited by the devs imagination and writing skill?"

But also like it's interesting to hear people talk about it and it brings up some interesting games I want to check out now, so like? Whatever? Objectively fine article, it's just going to be bugging me for the rest of the day.

I will make fun of this quote though:

“The difference between a bisexual character versus a playersexual character really is a matter of context,” Gaider says. “By calling a character ‘playersexual,’ you’re sort of erasing the fact that they are bisexual, but, the part where having a term for that becomes useful is when you start to investigate, like, why is this character bisexual?”

I'm sorry do I need a three page essay explaining why I'm bisexual? Do I need to bring this up on my tinder date? Damn I've been doing this wrong.

#should I have a tag that's just talking about interesting articles #because this isn't like an industry bullshit thing it's more #the framing is sus #article recs #Kotaku #I think another underlying theme of this article is that players are stupid?#like the dragon age example where the guy doesn't bring up his relationship with another man if dating a female player #and players were like mad? apparently? because this supposedly only exists if you're in a m/m relationship?#and like no sorry the players are being dumb. that's world building #and characterization #also like people acting like you're love interest determines the characters sexuality #see tatsuya Suou is canonically bi but people think he's gay if you romance jun

What do I think of it?

Where has this been all this time??? It summarizes a lot of nifty tips & tricks to make your InDesign workflow much more efficient. These tips covered a lot of the work I used to do manually, such as paragraph spacing, styles formatting, and even doing the little things a handy GREP style could do instantly.

In short, designing is much more fun now. It does take time to get used to, but once you get the hang of using these tips to the point of muscle memory, you'd feel like a wizard.
