This morning I downloaded games and helped my mum plan a travel thing.
then food arrived. not all the food. there were unexpected currants, which I sent back, and no poppy seed rolls. food would be more worky if all the parts of a planned meal ever arrived at once.
So then it was about 12 and I started playing a silly little fashion game.
... it crashed at 0230 and I looked up in a blinky sort of way and realised that 'just one more level' had got a tiny bit out of control.
... icon is for 'bored' but is being used for 'repeating small amusement long long times'. I was not bored. It was quite nice.

Now I'm imagining running a GURPS rules RPG where the point is all this trading and making fashions.
It's doable. The point of GURPS is everything is doable. But somehow I feel a paper and dice RPG would lose a few somethings.


Okay, I should go and sleep.

... the trouble is I've been not going to sleep for so long everything's lalala fiiiiiiine. :eyeroll:

I finished playing the fashion game
and then I started again at the beginning
and that was my day.

took about 12 hours the second time.

my mouse hand has ouching now.

*facepalm*

So, now I can't play it again without actually buying it. And since I've played it through twice, buying it would be silly. So I'm probably not going to.
But I liked it plenty so I could buy it just to go yaay make more like that.

I was thinking how Risha is a feminist hero. Read more... )

There's lots of mystery games and entrepreneur games that have women as the main characters. If there's building or selling or hidden objects in a fantasy land then it's very often female characters. ... if they aren't I probably don't try that game, there's enough games to do that.

I don't have any big thoughts about that, I just noticed it's cool. If I want a book or a DVD where I get to be a hero, I have to hunt them out. Clicky little games? Bazillions of them all over the place. Is cool.


Right. Time to declare today Done and go sleep. And hope tomorrow has actual productive thinking in it.
