Final Fantasy X is just a recapitulation of the 90s kids movie "Surf Ninjas," except half the characters are either imaginary or undead.

Did the DIGY awards just... not happen in 2026? I can't find anything about them, even though they solicited submissions. Their website is also gone. Rug-pull?

Tried watching "Hijack." It was just Prison Break on a plane.

Bandits of the Marsh/Water Margin is very weird, as books go. The author will spend a page and a half describing the exact way two strangers use ritual greetings, what (totally normal) food they ate, how drunk they got. But the violent takeover of a bandit fortress gets three lines.

Forgive me for getting a little heady, for a moment. The best way to tell an SF/Fantasy story is not to start at the moment the world's magic/science status quo is disrupted. The status quo should already have been disrupted before the story begins, but most people don't know it yet.

I've gotten some questions about delving more into the techniques of design and storytelling of a JRPG, to supplement this document. For that, I refer you to my books. The most popular of them is Reverse Design: Chrono Trigger. www.routledge.com/Reverse-Desi...

Almost halfway to the goal, at that.

I want to write a Harry Chapin-style folk song about a game dev who gets into the AAA industry at 20, and spends his whole career working on games that get canceled. After retirement, he sits in a porch-swing, struggling to explain this to his grandchildren.

I’m publishing a sample JRPG project plan. This document contains every step you need to take to create a commercial JRPG, from beginning to end. It's based on my experience working on JRPGs like Quartet, Cris Tales, Threads of Time, Coromon, My Familiar & Forge of the Fae. tinyurl.com/6yxt77fm

This coming Tuesday, I'm going to be publishing an example of a comprehensive project plan for a JRPG. This is basically a step-by-step guide to every part of the process, how long it takes (in my experience), what mistakes to avoid, and what people you need to hire.

This was a good and insightful look at the XBox layoffs. youtu.be/ilJz8XI9zGs?...

I just saw an MLB ad that advocated for a salary cap. Gross.
