How are you doing these days, darling?

i've been feeling bad about summer this year because it's too hot to walk anywhere during the day. then i realized, this summer is actually milder than usual. the reason i'm bothered is because i actually feel the urge to get out of the house regularly now.

so, pretty good?

Thoughts on Vivian?

I LOVE Vivian!! She's super cute, has a great design, fire powers are really cool, and it's neat that she's a teammate from an original species and not a Mario enemy which obviously wasn't SUPER common in Mario RPGs at that point outside of Flurrie and SMRPG. I really love her and I love that she's a trans icon.

If you're wondering about my thoughts on the updated script for the remake, I LOVE it! It's absolutely one of those changes that just had to happen from an outside-of-the-game standpoint in order to bring the game back and I'm really happy they did it.

Also, yeah she's cute. I used to have a crush on her. EVERYONE who played TTYD had a crush on Vivian at one point. It's actually insane.

I love the picture of the deer skunk couple where the deer is spiraling mentally, and the skunk is just thinking SEX.

a classic! my first hit tweet… I might redraw it some day if I can find it

What work are you proudest of?

I make a conscious effort not to play favourites with my own work. That way lies madness.

So, TTRPGs tend to be serial. But what would an episodic TTRPG look like?

plenty of options! you can just string together a bunch of one shots, like those provided in mobile firebrands 0. a lot of games are focused on like core gameplay loops now like blades in the dark with its heists. glitch has a mechanic to put a different character in focus each session to make different episodes have different tones and focuses. honestly chuubos is so anime it lends itself perfectly to episodes. and double honestly dnd is SUPPOSED to be episodic dungeon crawls but nobody plays that way anymore. actually i plan/think about all my games so episodically i feel like a straight serial is pretty rare

How do you feel about FFI?

Foreign function interface? Never heard of it until this ask, just looked it up; first impression is that sounds occasionally useful (primarily for performance, perhaps?), second impression is that it sounds like one of those things that's very annoying to do (constant looking at different docs and examples to figure out what the exact form of one line of code should be), third impression is "oh wait, this would fuck up readability and precise-debuggability hard, wouldn't it? Maybe stay far away from this." (I'm going solely off several minutes of reading the wikipedia page and don't know what the state-of-common-opinions-on-FFI is)
