The plan was not to just post it here, rather post the text as a thread and a link to the post in the end. I also trust my site to stick around more often because I'm paying for it.

You can override that (see how this isn't a global, but unlocked, post), but you have to stay on top of it as you're doing the thread.

nostr:npub1a5sneussxufxgdm7e52a34qe775usu7jn5u697akvdfhw85yk8wsrs9c4a That's a good point. I've seen that, and even when I replied to a thread like that, my posts were also hidden behind the same CW, and I didn't say anything related to it.
nostr:npub1znzvfaq0hzhrnn4ef5pgnkntkt0aasqmym86tl64t94gtlakalcs978l64 My post about digital ownership had so many reply guys, I thought I was on Twitter. One month later I'm still getting a few. 😬
nostr:npub1znzvfaq0hzhrnn4ef5pgnkntkt0aasqmym86tl64t94gtlakalcs978l64 Other than that, it's been much better. But when things blow up, they can BLOW UP.

nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg I love that you mention the burn out. To me, it connects me with you. It is a common thing in a life of a designer and I think it helps to talk about it. To have a living conversation about the risks.
nostr:npub1jtlpxs6g0duqacyhrws6jrtgpu270lvpqwpxvw7a48jvkeusfhjqedgped Thank you! I'd like to think that not every game designer has to go through this, but at least it's good for others to be aware.
I didn't even mention I got no remuneration other than a couple copies of that game. That could be a topic for another post.
nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg lovely read! Thanks for sharing! I’ll try to use your illustrative method in the future!
nostr:npub1jtlpxs6g0duqacyhrws6jrtgpu270lvpqwpxvw7a48jvkeusfhjqedgped Thank you! That process has already helped me in another game (which confusingly had appeared in the blog already).
I wonder if talking about the burnout will turn people away, but the story would be incomplete without it.
nostr:npub19qm2trjs3p32nwqwry4ufxl4fk9q4utkq53ywueg0yk8cvggra5s79sn8k Oh wow, I hadn't seen this for years! Still incredible.

nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg It's also worth noting that you *could* post your entire blog post as one long post here if your instance allows posts of that length. Read: the maximum post length is defined by your instance, not Mastodon. I think there even is a WordPress plugin to automatically share your blog posts on Mastodon for you.
nostr:npub15y6x73rcu0867mulkdd7mdp28mrx6zlh6206suwsm3a7e7v5fsdqq4azut Huh, I wonder if that would display correctly to people in other instances or using other apps.
nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg Yeah, I think if I boost a post from an instance that nobody on your instance is following, you only see that one post but not the rest of the thread (unless you check the original instance of the post). So the bigger your instance, the less likely this is to happen (and vice versa), but it's always a possibility! That's why it's a good idea to indicate in every post that it belongs to a thread, e.g. "🧵3/12".
nostr:npub15y6x73rcu0867mulkdd7mdp28mrx6zlh6206suwsm3a7e7v5fsdqq4azut I see. That can be quite annoying, though. For now I'll start with a single post with a link to the blog post, but I may try that in the future.
How would you compress a worker placement game into 18 cards?
In this post about the design of Cortiça, I’ll show you how such a component constraint lead me to discover a new process to concept games.

nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg Entirely depends on the client people are using! In the default web UI posting long threads can get very annoying, yes! My client of choice, nostr:npub1l5tgujhhn7pyxunuaxwklaune7ak8yvf8zg0slsr45fmkhrrhgeq37qq33, will collapse posts belonging to the same thread, so personally I don't mind. 🤷♂️ Worth noting that if you post stuff directly here, I'm able to boost the part(s) of your blog post that I particularly liked, not just the post as a whole.
nostr:npub15y6x73rcu0867mulkdd7mdp28mrx6zlh6206suwsm3a7e7v5fsdqq4azut nostr:npub1l5tgujhhn7pyxunuaxwklaune7ak8yvf8zg0slsr45fmkhrrhgeq37qq33 That's another good point. I'm using the advanced UI and it can get very annoying to have to click to expand posts one by one.
I've also had some feedback about people who could only see the post that was boosted, and not the rest of the thread.
nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg You could always add a content warning for "long thread" on all posts after the first one and it would collapse and take up less space. Maybe still a little disruptive for some folks but easier to scroll past.
nostr:npub1a5sneussxufxgdm7e52a34qe775usu7jn5u697akvdfhw85yk8wsrs9c4a Good point, I haven't experimented with content warnings in that way!
nostr:npub18gcrwqwmhysr7hkmuc04tkde3nmwm7wspq9qm732mhvxnlfy56tqhfv7cg I prefer the blog. But I wouldn’t mind if you posted here too.
nostr:npub1jtlpxs6g0duqacyhrws6jrtgpu270lvpqwpxvw7a48jvkeusfhjqedgped I'm more inclined to start there too. May eventually try the other option to see if there's any significant difference in how people react to/engage with it.
Wondering if instead of posting a link to a design blog I should just post it here as a thread. I've seen other people do that, but isn't it annoying when there's a wall of posts pushing everything away in your feed? 🤔
