[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

🎉 #roguelikecelebration talks are up! This is my talk on proc gen practitioners, a fun and lighthearted one with a D&D twist. If you enjoyed that tag yourself meme I made a few weeks ago, it was from this so please give the source a look 😄

Good morning, goblins! We're kicking off talks shortly, but you've still got plenty of time to snag a pay-what-you-want ticket from https://t.co/8800DEHPum and join us in the MUD!

(You can also watch us on Twitch and YouTube, but the MUD chat is really where it's at)

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

I wrote about the many ways that Israel has made trauma a weapon of war.

About how this exploitation betrays the victims of the past.

And creates many more victims in the present.

It was hard to write. It will be hard to read.

I hope it helps. https://t.co/ENQLh35YFw

@legobutts I went into a regency solitaire fugue state a couple weeks ago, great choice

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@ptychomancer I’ve bounced off MTG every time I’ve touched it but by the time I was done the chat I told Gavin that I maybe wanted to design Magic cards now, so yeah it’s a hella good interview imo 🤣

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@MelRambles @TheSims That’s amazing, congrats!!!!

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@catacalypto My cousin had two cats at one point named Chicken and Bread.

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@lazerwalker I found one and am still holding on to it with the dream of being able to rewire it somehow to either be a functional headset or some kind of funky controller, which is a dream because I’ve yet to mess around with hardware 😅 one day!!

[Roguelike Celebration @roguelike_con]

Friendly reminder that our 2024 call for proposals is still open!
Send us your crunchy mathy talks, your extremely specific lore talks, your deep academic talks, your frivolous silly talks, your unhinged performance art...

@MelRambles Ugh I’m so sorry 💙

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

Miserable, sickening behaviour at my local university. Every year, anti-abortion protestors would take over that same quad with graphic posters for multiple days - no problem. Truckers take over highway 1 for days - no problem. But here it’s immediately over the top violence.

STFU with "Canada is not the US"

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@catacalypto @MatthewGuz @maxkreminski I’ll say in my case, as someone who wrote a lot of the mental model part - I have no academic game background. I’m informed by my time in the field and tons of conversations with other designers, but that’s hard to cite 😅 I’d love to find research but didn’t know where to start!

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@legobutts @catacalypto Hate that this launched me back 10 years, hate even more that I thought “would it really be 10 years?” and found out no, more like 20.

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

Getting the ads is so surreal! I spent 4.5 years on Nightingale, more than my degree or anything in my life. It’s bittersweet having been there at the start but not the end - I wish the team the best! And hope I’ll finally be able to talk more about that unique proc gen system 😉

[Nightingale @PlayNightingale]

@catacalypto I saw some LA coworkers mention an earthquake and thought, “I bet Cat is tweeting about this earthquake”

[Alexei Pepers @ampepers]

@BryanRenno I dragged my partner into the country bear jamboree because the vibes just seemed wild despite neither of us knowing what to expect - did not disappoint, Big Al is a fav moment of that whole trip

[☾ MΣGΛП ΣMBЯΣΣ ☽ @so_bewitching]

I’ve been laid off from activision blizzard after 13 years of employment.

I was the sole income earner for our household so leads on new positions would be appreciated

[Xalavier Nelson Jr. @WritNelson]

I now bear the cursed knowledge of a bunch of games and revivals that have been killed off over the years—because they didn’t look “expensive enough to succeed”. Didn’t have enough prestige. Served an audience, but couldn’t be aggressively monetized or live-service.
