My favourite past time? Counting sheep, I just love it, it invokes the autist inside of my blood.

I give my opinion on deckbuilder RPGs, where your abilities are randomly assigned to your character.

Easily spirals into "lolrandom" territory.
Might work for a fun tabletop session, but a crpg?
Nope.
Can easily end up with a gimped, useless character.
Let the PC assign stats and skills and go from there.

Seeing the words "roguelike deckbuilder" make me twitch.

When I played Hard West I enabled the option that allowed me to have all the cards immediately to remove the random aspect. :)

I show a visual history from my birth until I graduate from high school, which was a year after I started working at a game company. Now you have the whole story of raising Cain.

It's so weird seeing him as a thin teenager. He really did gain all that weight in college with all those desserts.

That's not thin. Especially in the 80s. There was still an abundance of actually thin kids back then.

He doesn't look like he has an eating disorder but come on.

Faceblind as I am, I wouldn't be able to recognize those two as the same person. But Tim as he is now looks like an older version of his chubby adult self.

I talk about my thoughts on making a paper-and-pencil RPG and what advantages and disadvantages I might have from my experience of making computer RPGs.

Looks like an interesting thing to talk abaout. Anybody watched it and willing to write what did he said about the topic?

Tim seems to take a more balanced view of "combining" crpg and ttrpg.
Some people will have more fun playing tabletop, others crpgs.
He also advocates using computers and AI to keep track of all the numbers and things like the player perks, advantages and disadvantages, in order to simplify things and make it easier for the DM to direct the flow of the game.

Wasn't up to date with all of his videos for a while so not sure if this is the first time he wears this shirt. Could be involved in WolfEye's next projet it seems, first time to work along MCA since Tyranny?

2 niggers and 1 woman on the team that made Fallout 1 & 2... no wonder the games sucked.

Get outta here, look at this. This early 90s dev team shot's got more T than the entire gayming industry of the present. Look at that mofo's forearms. Look at Timmy's smug smirk back there. Look at the clueless face of Jamal on the right as if he was called out by ICE on the street. This right here is pure gold.
