I was happy once.
A shame I didn't know it.
Time is so fickle.

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Self improvement and rest. Working out consistently, reading my full TBR, daily meditation/prayer. Catching up on all the visual media (video games and movies) I've been missing. And playing a BUNCH of RPGs at home or with local organizations.

It's been a rough weekend. I'm tired of the world burning. Physical isolation feels like an unachievable dream as my existence is 65% obligation and 30% guilt. Rest is hard to come by.

Five men in fashionable semi-matching pink outfits stand to the right. One holds a microphone and shout-sings "PLAY GAMES WITH US!", which is on the image in bubble-y blue-and-pink font. A cloud beneath says the same in Korean. A host stands agape to the left while three women look down from above, trying to hide in the shadows of the sound stage.

I had not though about how our terrible, floppy ideas of realism at the tabletop echo out into the broader world, beyond a general understanding that anyone saying they’re “being realistic” is lying to SOMEONE.

But now I have, and it sucks.

Promote your game here.

MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black, rules-light apocalyptic fantasy RPG about scum and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak, dying world. Inspired by extreme metal music, it's grimdark turned to 11. A spiked flail to the face.

Bless this user for trying to hype Fomoria on the heels of their dumbass self-promo rules expansion. Not surprised it suddenly disappeared after I walked away.

In the (now hidden) post text, the user made it clear they are in no way related to Fomoria and are just excited. Kek

If @theurbanavian.bsky.social is not gonna hype Ambition, THEN I WILL!

Tarot drives the story and constructs the encounters in a Persona inspired heroic fantasy game rooted in Daoist philosophy. Each class has its own "mini-game" twist on the pillars of play. Depth in both mechanics & thought.

the human made icon

the human made icon

I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?

Everyone at BSky engineering just feverishly entering "fix the code so it doesn't crash, no really, pretty please NO MORE CRASHES".

Extra tabs open to ask chat bots for tips on asking for better code nicely.

The intern is feverishly doing real work but Claude keeps creating merge conflicts.

Maybe another thing to consider is what your actual goals are. What defines "success" for you? Then you can tailor your actions (and your metrics) to achieve those things in healthy, fulfilling ways.

"1000 true fans" is a theory that deeply sustains me. I don't need a million people to like or even see the stuff I make. I just need a handful to really enjoy them. And if I can inspire those handful to get another dozen, and those dozen to tell hundreds...

1k ppl that *really* care is incredible.

#ttrpg question: What are some tips and tricks to deal with imposter syndrome when working on your projects? I've posted several projects on Itch, more and more people seem interested, but nothing's clicking yet. I realize I'm "Playing on hard mode", this Q is more "How do I not be down on myself?"

"Somehow, Palpatine returned..."

But more seriously, focus less on metrics of success (because sometimes million dollar franchises can stoop to complete hackery) and focus on what fills your creative batteries.

A good way to do that is play the games you make! You have fun *and* playtest things.
