for a while it was meaningful choices & randomization but I just now had an epiphany. randomization is only one type of unexpected

related to the question βwhat is a game?β is one I think about a lot more: what do players want out of a game?
so far, my best answer is: meaningful choices & the unexpected
whatβs your answer?

the main thing i will say is that apparently things are based more on your name than things like social security numbers & if you change your entire name you can get away with a l o t

imo trans people should commit crimes before HRT so they can get away with it after laying low for a few years while the HRT kicks in

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:
The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.
And our governments are very much the same...
- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing:
Hey Evil Hat team,
Promised this is the last time youβll hear from me.
We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.
I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.
Want in before we close it up?
Best,
[redacted]
And then our reply:
Hi [redacted],
We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.
In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.
Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.

Vekari: Remote Bypass cover art featuring main characters Acro, Iliana, and Enoch using their strengths to prevent Kori from falling into a pit while she crushes a glitched creature with a combo computer and aquarium. The hall they are in is full of nonsensical details as it is glitched.
A fake news site page inside Vekari: Remote Bypass that appears corrupted. This is actually a puzzle page where players must find a code word to enter into a password box to progress to the next room of the building. The puzzles get progressively more difficult here. If you'd like to try this specifically, go to 16th Street and enter the sideways/glitched building
