Hmm. I hardly hear anything about dynamically scaling difficulty anymore. Is that still a thing? Seems like a potential solution.
I have feelings that need more unpacking about difficulty in games. It's simultaneously an accessibility issue and a creative tool.

It will never fail to make me happy that the Icelandic word for 'computer' roughly transaltes as 'number-witch'.
ꙮwꙮ what's this
Today's term of the day: hapax legomenon!
A hapax legomenon is a term that appears exactly once in a given corpus.
Frex, in all the Latin text from classical Rome that's survived to the modern day, the verb "circummingere" appears once, in the form "circumminxit", in Petronius's "Satyricon". "circummingere" means "to urinate around", and is used in the description of a magic spell a werewolf uses to turn his clothes to stone (by pissing in a circle around them) before he goes off to maraud.

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
