Crimson Longinus's latest activity

There's been an ongoing argument whether process simulation and genre simulation are even close to the same thing for quite some time.

I think subclasses are pretty good answer to this. You need less main classes when the subclasses can add the specificity. Though I...

FWIW, I think classes are more effective at their role in the game when they ARE diegetic. The more you can focus a class on a specific...

Well I have to agree with @Crimson Longinus . Classes have an associated story that justifies playing one class over another. If you're...
