I refer to resolution systems outside of the standard resolution system that rely on player skill as “mini-games” like in video game design. I think of things like Yahtzee Locks in OSR D&D or using the Mastermind board game to resolve code breaking or hacking computers.

I work somewhere that has the oddest files and search for work policies and forms they want. I stand beside the fact that I can search them and find them the quickest in the company is because of playing on games and looking for help files.

@junipersky My niece’s 13th birthday is tomorrow. I’m not prepared and yet as the aunt that colors my hair in vivids and owns a ton of makeup and stuff – I’m completely prepared. She’s come a long way from the 8 year old asking me to read her the boob chapter in the ‘my body’ book because you know, I have bigger boobs than the other adults around her so I must understand them better. Noted: I will remind her of this story tomorrow.

A couple of days ago I dreamed that I was part of a performance at some kind of arts academy, it was something like the big once-a-year performances those places do. For some reason I was put on the spot and asked to perform a couple of songs before the show started (many of my dreams have a focus on being asked to do something I’m not prepared to do) so I decided to change the lyrics to “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” to something more thematic, which was nature, and sing that… Back in the waking world, I was on vacation with my family and thus we were all sharing a room. And that’s how my husband and son got woken up by me shouting “IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A SQUIRREL” out of nowhere at 8am.

The most recent dream I can remember is: A total stranger abandoned me at a Best Buy because I wouldn’t help them steal car stereo equipment from the store, and so I just hung out in the store until it got dark so I could go home without melting in the heat.

@Imagicka I’m sure @Jihgfed will eventually chime in, but it was not cancelled! About 25 people showed up to his in person presentation!

@Juniper said in Neon Protocol: The elephant in the room is how Neon Protocol straight up looks like a scenario in AI dungeon. I was immediately repelled by it. This – aside from terrible AI in general, the aesthetic is very jarring with the NEON colors juxtaposed with the “small town farmer’s market flyer” sort of AI slop. I get that it’s trying for small town supernatural but definitely missing that mark. Also I get that not everyone’s an artist or adept at PhotoShop but we existed for decades without it on Mu*s, we don’t need it now.

@Pavel Okay, so I didn’t invent her presence on that one whole cloth. Whew. Going to have to check this out.
