I propose that the minigun is a fundamentally incorrect videogame weapon. The premise is that you have ripped a gun off of an airplane to shoot dudes. It should rip enemies in half. But in pretty much every game, its individual shots do less damage than your basic pistol, there are just LOTS more of them.

I propose instead that the minigun do more damage than anything short of a rocket launcher (per bullet), fire just as fast as it does now, but have extremely limited ammo. Make it a treat.

Anybody know of suggestions for technology to assist in producing board game documents? Obviously a word processor is the thing, but I'm thinking of something to assist in, for example, repeating the same block layouts (like card designs or monster tables) over and over with varying content, or being able to have a table of commonly used icons I can plop in as if they were normal text characters. It almost feels like PHP is the weirdest but easiest answer for a techie person.
Chrome just perma-blocked my uBlock Origins ad blocker, which would make youtube unusable (AKA 'functioning as intended'). So I gave Brave a try and now I feel dumb for waiting so long. Wow, every ad, everywhere, is gone! Seems like something the Megacorps won't continue to allow, but I'll enjoy it for now.

My latest re-rerelease is up on Steam! Coming out soon, wishlist it today so I feel good about myself!

Steam:Kid Mystic: Enchanted Edition

Kid Mystic never paid attention in magic school except when they were discussing fireballs, so now he's the only one who can save Tulipton in this action-packed RPG which was hailed as The Best Fantasy Role Playing Game For The PC by (checks notes...) its own box.

mind blown. I only just now learned that the fireballs in street fighter don't just have a wacky fire texture to them, you can actually see the thrower's hands inside them!

(In the old days, that is. Now they are just fancy fire)

This video was a JOURNEY. I am impressed with the youtuber, and with Capcom, and with a 3rd company I won't name because it's a spoiler for the video! I can't believe what Capcom did with Dragon's Dogma II. Still not gonna play it, but wow, that's truly something for a AAA developer to do. Glad to hear about it.

My esteem for Pedro Pascal grows ever greater.
All the roguelites are suddenly Hades clones. Hades came out like 10 years ago and nobody cloned it for all this time and now suddenly everybody is. I guess it's Hades 2? It's so weird.
