@LegoAnkhMorpork @terryandrob Moist van Lipwick's prison break at the top of Going Postal

@HarrisonBurd97 Stand-up at 9:45, which makes us the early riser team. We absolutely have a few colleagues in the wider company who clock in around 10:10, and it's fine.

@JohnWordsworth It'll be fun to see all the big streamers run their current campaigns to a close and then pick up a new system and setting, "for a change".

A lot of those audiences were at a point where they were looking for some novelty, anyway. Feels like WOTC has decided to push them out.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@vampiresnvino They can certainly try.

@DarkestCrows @the_strix Doubt it's what you had in mind, but that's why Witcher 3's contracts are some of my favourite encounters.

If I take the spreadsheets, I see how the monsters' DPS is ~25% above intended-level Geralt. If I play it, I feel like I have to prepare, choose my ground - be a Witcher.

@EliseMarchouba Utterly not surprised. Congratulations! :)

@outstarwalker @AnarchsUk Hey, if somebody had told me I get to like good music *and* support you against Sean at the same time, I'd have brought friends!

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@outstarwalker @AnarchsUk I want to work Coffe and TV into it, but I can't make it work 😭

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@AnarchsUk @outstarwalker Guess it's time I got my head checked...

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@sukebandeka But it's done now? :|

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@sukebandeka Huh. You're right. There's some magnificent irony in that show's marketing campaign selling a product that wasn't the show.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@locust9 I know this is a stupid thing to be snobby about, but: I wish the snow were drier.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@caraellison Huh. I was only aware of Amplifier. Shows how Eurocentric I've been lately.
Thank you!

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@caraellison One of my pipe dreams is to spend my last ten or so years in the business as part of an actual games-first VC firm.
There is such a thing as capability analysis. There are such things as team growth strategies. This shouldn't be harder than film. But IT investors won't try.

@outstarwalker "We're shooting a movie, and everyone around you is the camera" was the best advice I ever got while I LARP-ed.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

Subtweeting myself, ca. 5 years ago. I hope.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

Sigh.

Too many people in this business think they know how to make games when really, they know how to make one game.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@Athanateus Put it like this: Ryan Reynolds and Linda Carter registered new accounts there within the last week. Neil Gaiman has never left.

It remains the weirdest, fandom-y-est space I'm 'active' on, but it's arguably in a healthier place than at any point since '14.

[Florian Schwarzer @ze_schwarzer]

@garius I lived in the UK for long enough to confirm that it's bad, but the German system? Not as much better as I'd like. Still, the €9 ticket led to a *lot* of demand.

Incremental improvement under induced load is not fun, but it *does* lead to improvement.
