 this is how I write trello cards or tickets.
 
 and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
 mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
 example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
 for every single province on the map.

 instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should
 be assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you
 went back to character control
 
 I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle.
 
 in a game that doesn't really need scouting to find your foe - it's easy!
 they're that way

 did you know someone once built a 1st person shooter in the Warcraft III mod
 suite?
 
 someone also made an entirely new game engine similar to Neverwinter Night's
 (or Baldur's Gate for you noobs) inside of the game. You could join a Warcraft
 3 map and start playing a D&D adventure narrated, controlled, and prepared
 by your DM, D&D style. Like a virtual tabletop before that was a thing.
 
 kinda wish stuff like that was open source, or at least open standards, so
 people could take those adventures with them.

 if you want to fight ice, patrol your neighborhoods where all the mexicans
 live.
 bring a gun if you're willing to die for liberty.
 
 Don't wear all black. Wear your favorite outfit, to be remembered.

 capture the flag
 map with lanes (you'll see)
 also was included with the demo of the game back when it was released
 which implies that the developers thought it was one of the best maps
 (at least, the one that best showcased the gameplay style of the full game)
 they let you host multiplayer servers too, which was cool
 just with the demo
 for free
 but like... only 3 or 4 maps
 (I forget how many)
 
 also no mods, which was half of the appeal
 
 I like to play in a way that is non-standard
 
 because I believe it shows the most dense formations of combatants
 
 (the bots can be kinda dumb)
 
 so I put them on "experienced"
 
 be careful not to hurt your allies (hundred percent)
 
 scary! D: D:
 
 regular :)
 
 you can create your own "mutators" by the way
 (just some C++ code, run in their environment, so no need to mess with
 compilers
 )
 
 3 paths to your enemy
 
 omg :O :O
 
 that's one style of play
 pushing forward
 consistently
 
 but check out this other style that is *also* pushing forward consistently
 
 adrenaline makes you bonused
 
 hey we got a point :D
 
 told ya boosters gave ya bonuses
 
 anyway I just played this map
 and couldn't wait to show it to you
 so let's try a different one

 ... the trick is, depending on how many train-engine-dragons you fight, there
 will be a greater or lesser proportion present in a particular playthrough.
 Perhaps, potentially, people should pay for the original work, and then a
 small sliver for the addition or modification? Why, I do believe that's how it
 works now! Except, on the honor system, as people can download the mods for
 free and pay (or not) through the creator's patreon page or whatever that they
 definitely set up and which definitely shouldn't be able to levy a tax based
 on "transaction fees" for a process which definitely should be handled by the
 government, which claims to regulate our economy and provide the means by
 which we engage with said economy through their de-facto nationalization of
 the banks and other economic entities.
 
 where was I going with this? oh yes software piracy is ethical so long as you
 delete the original. Let's end with that because that's what I originally had
 a dream about and wanted to write about.

 I think it'd be cool if strategy games had slightly randomized rules each time
 you played them
 
 everything from +/- 5% hp to this particular unit to every airplane factory
 has 10% production speed but builds 10 units at once
 
 and at the start of the game each player is given 1 minute to go over the
 "patch notes" and build out a strategy
 
 both of which they can reference throughout the game. Why don't games come
 with a built-in scratch-notepad that syncs to a file on your directory of
 choice? Maybe a small little paint program dropping pngs?

 Magic Survival might not work then, as it's a "single stick shooter" where
 movement is controlled with a virtual joystick and other actions are performed
 automatically.
 
 There is more than one control scheme in the options, so it might be worth
 fiddling with, but octopus arms are hard to overcome in a non-turn-based game.
 Good luck finding games that work ❤️

 It's a script I wrote that downloads and configures MTG-forge, the free and
 open source version of Magic. It's a little old, a little jank, but you get
 all the cards for free. All the way up to the most current expansions.
 
 Multiplayer is a bit harder than Arena, I think it's bugged or something, but
 it's great for testing out decks against a computer. If I like one then I'll
 usually buy it to play with my IRL friends.

 the reason Discord won't allow you to join their communities via 3rd party
 clients like TUI's and CLI's is because they're worried games will just bake a
 client into the game and hide all the community stuff. They're worried because
 there's no reason why a fighting game needs to have a button for viewing a
 puzzle game's community.

 there should be biomes in wowchat - like, paint on a map where the oozes can
 go, and it'll spawn a random ooze for ya.
 
 next find the ones that are wildlife, and paint a zone where wildlife creatures
 can spawn. make sure they're initially friendly but will attack if you do.
 
 then give +reputation to the wolves if you fight monsters besides them
 
 and +reputation to the cats if you fight undead
 
 this is easily implementable.
 
 all you have to do is walk around, find the rough general border points with
 your character at 5x speed, and then type them into a text file.
 
 it's not like Azeroth changed.
 
 then, ideally, make small dense zones which travel and cause their monsters
 to either spawn at a point or move toward a point.
 
 then let the "flock" travel as it pleased, traversing the

 like... did you know most battles ended when everyone ran away? Most people
 think they're like, endless gauntlets of death to-the-death. no, it's not
 really like that, more like "stick around as long as possible and try to get
 'em before they get us"
 
 plus some general orders from the guys on horses like "start moving toward the
 sun" or "move onto the high ground"
 
 'cause like, if you hear something like that then you better follow their
 commands, if you don't then all your buds will leave you to get ganked.
 
 these days... our comms are so hackable that like, are you really gonna
 communicate over infrastructure they control? oy...

 take the "green bordered unit icon" from legion TD and apply it to the
 economic output of the game - like, "it would be best to build 2 of these
 units, so you get 140g because they're 70g each" and if the player disagreed
 they could guess their own conclusion and if you were right, well then that's
 what you remember, but if they were, then you remember theirs (and that it was

 true. the "massively multiplayer" aspect of WoW is about as important to the
 game as the "A" is in "ARPG".
 
 I can't help but feel like the "impromptu groups" functionality feels a bit
 better than matchmaker instancing... though anything worth running a group for
 in WoW after TBC was instanced >.>
 
 Honestly I think there's just too many games these days for people to really
 get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics
 (like EVE or Runescape)
 
 any ARPG MMOs are dead on launch, as you said. That design space is tapped
 out, at least for now, until someone comes along and makes it a deckbuilding
 roguelike or whatever. cough cough

 Coding superpower:
 
 Start thread 
 While(true):
 Run();
 
 Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
 that run() uses to call a function
 
 At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
 to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

 I love the game Running with Rifles
 
 if you live for 5-10+ minutes, you can learn a lot of interesting things about
 how to engage a foe.
 
 like, the importance of cover at all times, until you successfully outmaneuver
 your foe.
 
 when an enemy approaches, don't step out to meet them
 
 wait for them to attack, and then throw explosive devices at them. easy peasy.
 
 or, y'know, bullets
 
 you cannot defeat an enemy head on - that's why the world wars were so
 devastating, we put ALL our soldiers at 100% on ALL flanks. We had to to
 contest the foe who was doing the same thing.
 
 it is mindboggling how many people died. The utmost scale of destruction that
 should ever yet be. because they were never allowed to outmaneuver their foe.
 
 a good way to strike is to feint your foe, and let your foe enroach on your
 edge, spreading their surface area across a large, thin, useless piece of land.
 
 basically, make them fight a bit of the land war in asia in your borders.
 
 then, you can strike at the hinge, where they are weaker
