@1994clipart I'm a little surprised they didn't use a more specific name in the filename, like "CRAY01.BMF" or something.

Same energy.

powersoffour (powersoffour@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 01-Jun-2024 08:09:45 JST powersoffour @crawfordsm One time I got a FOIA request for an NSF proposal. The legal department at my university reached out to me, wanted to set up a bunch of calls and so on, the NSF was somehow involved, and it was just a big todo. Anyway, the proposal was already on figshare, so when I wrote I asked if they would consider citing it by DOI if they used anything from it.
Conversely, our local school board and newspaper have been FOIA-ing text messages and it's been really ugly.

So I guess I'm casting my vote for "worth it" but not just for 9 button snobbery!

powersoffour (powersoffour@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 01-Jun-2024 01:57:56 JST powersoffour @GoodAaron This makes a lot of sense, and I bet results in really creatively fulfilling storytelling. But I wonder -- what about the role of foreshadowing? Like if there are strong indications that a huge secret is to be revealed, does that secret "need" to be decided in advance?

I attended a student presentation from a game studies class where one team had augmented Dots & Lines to include some very tricky changes to point allocations by which type of square you enclosed, etc etc, and it was *hard*.

I asked about worldbuilding specifically because I've read some of the Kobold guides, I've read books with fascinating worldbuilding, but I'm curious about the approach *you* specifically took with your work and how you would reflect on that now, if you'd make changes, etc, and the needs of your fiction vs RPG media, blah blah.

Looking him up, I was familiar with the B5 logo (keyhole) but was unfamiliar with the story of his passing or his broader background before CoC. CoC really does have such an amazing artistry to it.
