i feel that asking people to download plugins became passé like a decade ago, but whenever i export a godot project for web i don't like that i'm uploading the exact same 48MB along with my 100-200KB of videogame. is there a better way?

do you play games to experience new game mechanics? i don't really use that word much myself anymore so just take it vaguely, whatever it means to you. do you make games more for that reason? also i would say that game structures are just big game mechanics, so include those
Just wrote a short blog of "Transparency is Surveillance". Core thought: Transparency and trust are deeply in tension. Transparency forces experts to explain themselves to non-experts - but much of expertise isn't explainable. So transparency undermines expertise. 🧵:

Fascinating piece. Most people are playing the same handful of games as a service games every day instead of playing a bunch of different things. Makes me wonder what video game criticism, discourse, journalism, & general fandom will look like in 10-15 years. Probably not great.
i hate the passivity of a lot of commentary now, and the way a lot of people ignore developments happening in smaller spaces as somehow unrelated to larger structures... as if they could not become bigger. as if that hasn't happened a billion times before
@droqen Aw! It would have been great to see you! I’m at GDC now.
there's nothing to plug here. this game will probably never exist because the spec is ridiculous: persistent serverless multiplayer that plays out in slow real-time (Trek + Neptune's Pride + EVE econ but moneyless) this kind of game doesn't exist for a reason and I know it
