Pains
I’m in pain. One pain is the pain of my wisdom tooth that was recently taken out. The amount of pain comes and goes with the drugs, and I’m feeling more than a little woozy, but it’s better than it was on the first day. Still, it will take some time before I feel even [...]

monkey flees from sabretooth
My wisdom tooth is out. It hurts and it bleeds and I look like a zombie. And it took forever. My system was in such distress that it just ate the anaesthetics up, and everything remained sensitive and painful. I could’ve run a marathon, but they just couldn’t get my stupid flesh to go numb. [...]

Game Design Aphorisms
There is no definition of computer games. There in no such thing as art games. Games are art. Gameplay is not the opposite of storytelling. Graphics, music and level design are storytelling. Mediocrity is not balance. Abstraction is a tool. Only specificity gives meaning to art. Interactivity is not abstraction. Meaningful art is enjoyable. An [...]

“This is so badly infected that if we try to operate now, you’ll scream our heads off,” very much like “It would appear your baby has fangs,” is just one of those things you don’t want to hear. On antibiotics now. Tooth (singular for now) to be removed on Wednesday. Will try to do some [...]

Surgery! Surgery!
I’ve just found out that they shall be cutting out my wisdom teeth today. Or, to be precise, they shall be breaking them in two and then scooping the leftovers out of my jawbone. Because it’s more fun that way. Anyway, I’m terrified. When it comes to dentists and dentistry, my argh threshold is very [...]

Teeth and Ideas
Bad news: I went to the dentist today, and she’s certain that both of my lower wisdom teeth will have to come out. One of these is hurting a lot. I don’t have an appointment to get them taken out yet. The doctor I originally wanted to go to doesn’t have time in the next [...]

Not too depressed to work
If the last post sounded like I was depressed – well, I was. And I am seriously reconsidering some of my planned projects. As much as I love the idea of the internet as a space that promotes creative experiments… the reality of it unfortunately tends to be quite different. Too much is still about [...]

Failure is You! and other thoughts
I’d been looking forward to the release of RPGcat for some time now – it really makes me smile, and I wanted to share it with people. I thought it had real potential to become a webseries that people would follow and enjoy. The reality of it is quite different, though. A few people thought [...]
