Q&A from a talk I gave last week.

Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"

A: Fascism. It's fascism.

@literalgrill I'll share my salmiakki with you. :)

I have achieved my goal of being the mentally ill trans woman talking about Void Stranger I wanted to see on Youtube https://youtu.be/SgqoKFn1axo?si=Ns6e2ZUrGRj5C5_r
Void Stranger is a Deranged Game

@coffeentacos Yeah, one of my all-time favorites. Glad you're enjoying it.

In the past month, I started learning Finnish, tried salmiakki for the first time, and got hooked on Void Stranger, all completely separate from each other.

If I wasn't so completely broke forever and traveling as a trans American wasn't so terrifying, I'd love to visit Finland. At least to attend my friend's wedding whenever it happens.

@tomgrochowiak The only work I would truly consider required reading for game design is The Designer's Heart Laid Bare. It's a short essay but it literally changed my life for the better as a designer and player of games.

I'm really growing to loathe screen shake in games. Like, it's 100% a me issue from photosensitivity / eye strain, but when a game's got constant juice, I just feel sick before long.

@literalgrill Maybe play some games with them with the basic deck to see how it feels playing with them in that setting and kind of break it an appropriate amount to balance it? Easing the gas just the right amount could be its own deckbuilding challenge.
