I was excited for AC Black Flag, but after hearing about the layoffs I’ll probably just save my money.

Being on day three of scouring computer forums and finding somebody who had your same problem but eventually gave up is like seeing a dead body on Everest

New most prized possession acquired

This is me when I learn about yet another new RPG.

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

Alright been dragging my feet for a while, what are the must-dos in Amsterdam?

asha sharma going "we want 1 billion players a day" a nice reminder that these execs are fundamentally incapable of understanding that their customers do not have infinite money or even just that time is finite. they just think you haven't been fed the right marketing yet to get you on board

I’m gonna be honest, if somebody actively dislikes GDQ that’s a huge red flag for me personally.

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

A major unspoken issue with ADHD is that if you befriend other ADHD people you have created a cadre of folks who are all simultaneously bad at getting back to each other and experience elevated rejection sensitivity.

New rule, when you google a phobia it should NOT immediately show you giant pictures of the thing that phobia is about 🙃

Listen folks. You have to stop clicking random links DM'd to you on Discord. Legitimately.

There's a 40% chance at any given moment that I'm playing Ocean Man in my head.

Toy Story 5 was about as good as Toy Story 4, which means unfortunately they have me on the hook for Toy Story 6 now. I'm sure the streak will end one day. I think the A plot was weaker than 4, but the B plot was strong and the C plot was much stronger. The inevitable Pixar gut punch really got me.

Bought lemonade from some kids on the street. They took Venmo but then they only charged $2, so I can’t tell if they’re ahead or behind the times.

More Mass Effect!

Maggie: “this show is kinda like High School Musical but in college” Me: “oh so do they sing?” Maggie: “…ok nvm bad analogy”

Finally catching up on Rick and Morty. Just watched season 7, and I’m sad to report that I thought it was really good and liked it a lot. Guess they still got me.

Look I'm not gonna defend the company, but when I was in high school Facebook was legit a great place to be. If I wanted to organize an event or sent out a signal, pretty much everyone I knew would see it. There's never been another place that as effectively served that purpose for me ever again.

I think about Psychodyssey a lot. If you want to know what making games is like, this is it.

Me when I’m buying indie games: wow I’m kind of spending a lot of money on these, maybe I don’t need to buy so many? Me when I am looking at the price of literally anything else I ever buy: wow I should buy a lot more indie games.

This was a fun variant

I hate moving.

Ocarina of Time is the Original Innistrad of Zelda

No shade to the Kingdom Hearts ride or dies out there, but everything about KH4 seems tailor made to get me specifically to not buy it. Which as tough given how much I love the series at large.

My reaction to The Amazing Digital Circus finale: My god, the children long for Steven Universe (and also Infinity Train)

AMBER GLENN WAS AT THE MAGIC MARVEL THING damn I did not have fomo until right now

Howdy-douken

Unless you are a game designer. If you are a game designer then this is the most important sentence you’ll ever hear. (I know I’m hijacking this post totally off topic, but it’s so integral to game design that it took me several minutes to figure out that it wasn’t about game design lol)

The indie world has recently been full of The Bazaar riffs. Makes me appreciate the original even more!

The war with the Reapers finally ends, and @chriskmooney.bsky.social and I have a lot to say about that ending! Plus: Lots of nice things to say about Mass Effect 3 also! It's Mission 4 on Priority: Chit-Chat! soundcloud.com/priority-chi...

I’ll be honest, I did not expect Mom of War to be next.

I love you, Chevron station island off the coast of the Vancouver convention center

Btw I absolutely should have done this

Won my first ever sanctioned Riftbound match 2-0. I should just quit now and lock in my win %.

A transcript of my favorite moment from Stars on Ice Alyssa Liu (Excited): "Can you guys clap on beat?" Audience (Honest): "Ehh... 😬" Alyssa Liu (Amused): "Ok well you gotta because this next couple is gonna skate to your claps." Audience (Shameful): *Fails spectacularly at clapping on beat*

The USA Olympic gold medal winning figure skating team performing to Golden from Kpop Demon Hunters honestly is something that *should* have been on my bingo card.

What is your favorite light weight (low complexity/short length) board game? I’m looking for peoples faves more than recommendations. I have tons, but I want to know what other people like.

Mobile games look so cool, I wish they were real

““You know, now that I’m watching it live, the Phantom (of the opera) is kinda creepy” -Maggie, 2026

Soldier, Engineer, Adept, Sentinel, Infiltrator, Vanguard

Go listen to two nerds yapping about space aliens

I dreamt up a Dropout show where they rented a warehouse and turned it into a 10 episode long elaborate escape room. And this is only noteworthy because I also had this same dream a few years ago so this time I was CONVINCED I must be remembering something real I had watched before.

Somehow I got the con crud and I wasn’t even there

Happy Star Wars day. Andor is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. That’s all I got, go watch it.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse! (“It” meaning “not being at Vegas”)

Is it gauche to say that I think I wrote a really good eulogy?

Can’t believe they didn’t reschedule the magic con to a weekend I was free. Quite inconsiderate tbh.

Sometimes I am good at my job
