    from a discord thread where I posted stuf another chapter of Chris Crawford tonight: There are situations in which it is not quite possible to attain the purity of this artistic ideal. For example, I would not claim that only immature, childish people should design games for children. Nor would I suggest that good shoot-’em-up…

It feels maybe a little disappointing? to spend all that…

    Last week I blasted through Pantaloon Software’s Occlude (“A Game of Occult Solitaire”). I got all the endings and all the coins in like six hours? I told multiple people that my brain is broken in the right way for it – like oh so many puzzle games, sometimes you can just see what to…
