deleting up to but not including the first occurrence of the character "f" on this line

not so much an idea as a videogame Thought, but: Cartoons and visual art in general make a big deal out of using less, being representative instead of reproductive... like instead of a house's bricks all being drawn, you do a handful around the corners of things where shade would highlight them and consider it enough.

the closest I've heard of in videogames is a discussion of how Portal works, they said games use darkness and light to guide players through "open worlds" where an obvious navigation makes no sense. but I'm sure there are ways other than'darkness' to visually represent less detail, so what if you just did that on purpose. as the player gets outside the narrative, there's less anything, and they can easily look around and figure out where the things they're supposed to see are.

Three vistas.

Have a great weekend folks.

game idea: you're in prison for robbery (many many counts) and your cellmate offers you a time travel device that lets you go back and perfect your crimes so the charges don't stick

Hey Kids! If you notice your cell signal going from 5 bars to 1 or even 0 when you're at school, remember that cell jamming is very very illegal, ZERO schools have permission to run one, and the FCC would definitely like to hear from you!

we've had controller rumble since at least the mid-nineties and I've yet to see a game that uses it to help you navigate a dark room by simulating the experience of holding your hands out in front of you and/or bumping into shit

Hey old friends. My games are on sale for my B-day week because that made sense to me. Didn't want you to miss the deal if that's your thing.

Also... If you're looking for the perfect gift it's a positive review.

Coming to grips with the necessity of getting out of bed.

I get this so often that I'm inured to it, but honestly it really bugs me and makes me feel terrible because it's clear people don't understand how difficult having prosopagnosia can actually be.

Not recognizing people has INCREDIBLE impacts on social interactions. Not "Oh yeah, I remember you!" It's "Why are you ignoring me and giving me the cold shoulder?" from the other person towards me. Not realizing it's because I have no idea who they are.

I think this is the second-longest interview I've been waiting on, and my god was it worth it. https://usesthis.com/interviews/paul.ford/
