I'm making a game where you run a shop that fixes broken magical artifacts. Hunters drag in whatever they find wrecked out there, you figure out how it works, and sometimes you figure out how to make your own. It's called Artifice.

A place name should feel like it survived a few centuries of lazy pronunciation. If every city on the map looks freshly coined, the world feels like it was assembled last Tuesday. awindytree.quest/tf

I almost exclusive use Grok and Copilot. Tell me why ChatGPT just dropped my boss's legal name unprompted lol

@elonmusk The everything app needs like X Meals. A less terrible alternative to DoorDash or Uber Eats.

I guess I'm just going to have to start doing a bunch of CLI/MCP nonsense because of this @bot usage nerf. Went from my usage lasting me about 6 days to burning through 90% on the day of reset.

Of all the places to get random calls from, why the 902 area code? That's Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, so basically just Halifax. "Ahoy, stranger. We've been tryn' ta reach you about yer vessel's extended warranty."

If your fantasy world has 13 moons and a 400 day year, Fantasy Calendar Builder will handle it. Pair it with Timeline Weaver and you can finally stop keeping your whole history in a sticky note. Both free on my site. awindytree.quest

New Artifice thing: a hunter drags in a lantern that only lights when nobody's looking at it. Your job is figuring out why, fixing it, and deciding if you sell it back or keep it for yourself.

X Money is fun because I'll be like "Ooh, a notification. Maybe someone liked my post," and it's just "New transaction at 7-ELEVEn"

Wrote up how Toponym Forge got made. Why two roots, why no framework, and how one harbor town can end up with three names lol

Made Toponym Forge because I got tired of naming every town in my setting "Something-ville." Feed it your conlang's sounds and roots, it spits out place names with meanings, plus what the neighbors across the river call it. Free, no signup. awindytree.quest/tf

Somebody made a whole game about scrubbing grime off old cartridges and people are lining up for it. Gonna take that as a good sign for my magic junk repair shop.

I made a little free tool called Toponym Forge that generates fantasy place names from your own conlang's sounds and root words, each with a meaning (like "Kingport"). It even makes neighbouring-language versions and exports to Azgaar/Inkarnate.

Man, forget this. I don't like Japan anymore. I'm removing the flag from my language, I'm not going to engage in their goofy ass shit takes on X, whatever. Friendship with Japan ended. Now best friends with Norway.

I think that so far, @AdzeTweets has made the strongest point in this piracy discourse.
What the Japanese seem not to grasp is that we specifically WANT to support the creators of these things, and are often not given the means to do so. We aren't trying to take from anyone.

This dude gets it.
海賊版問題の全ての根源はこの思考にあるんだよなー。
しかもこの「諦めろ」の裏には「ゲームやアニメは日本の特権なので、日本では楽しむ権利があるけど君たちにはないから、手に入らないなら諦めろ」というのが殆どのケースで隠れているわけだけど、これが人としても、ビジネスとしても間違っていると思える人が増えなければ大きな変化は起きないと思う
人としての回答としてはシンプルに自分たちが好きな物は多くの人にも共有しよう、自分たちの喜びを他人を共有しようっていう気持ちの部分だろうし
ビジネスとして見れば、正規で欲しがっている人に販促方法を提供し利益にしよう、その利益を作者やクリエイターに還元出来る環境を作ろうってなる
海賊版市場に適切なプラットフォームをおいて市場を伸ばして巨大な利益を得たのがSteamだったりSpotifyだったりするわけだけど、日本がどれだけ素晴らしいコンテンツ文化がってもプラットフォームが尽く他所の国に奪われている理由の一旦もここにはある気がちょっとする
まあとはいえ、シンプルに自分たちが楽しい、素晴らしいと思える物を、世界中の人に知ってほしい、見て欲しいと思える心の在り方みたいな物の方が問題は大きいのかな
作品の作者も、普通に世界中の人に見て欲しいと思っていると思うんだけど、作者も「日本人以外見るな、劉通させるな」って思ってるのかね。
手にしたいけど手に入らない市場に対し、適切な価格と方法で流通させることは、回り回って作者やクリエイター達の幸せに繋がるという所まで想像力を働かせないと、彼等の意見は変わらないと思う。
まあ日本と海外で海賊版の意味が全然違うので、そこから来るシンプルな意見の相違とも思えるけど。

Hey, Japan. Read this.
