Always a delight chatting with Shivam. Super personal podcast in which we both RAMBLE about my early days on Magic.

Sure seems like they're working their way through every minority group and either declaring "you are a victim and should not exist" or "you are a villain and should not exist"

Catching up on the news of the day. Goddamn. Autistic friends, I love you and your brains.

these two sweeties!

Postmates forcing me to accept a delivery robot so I'm uninstalling after this order. Saving a few dollars on tip is not worth anything. I want to pay a human to do this job.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Rough morning, but the cats are cute.

Face getting upgraded today. Surreal week with a dear friend going in for very serious emergency surgery while I get ffs. Awash in emotions.

Hey it's wild how much figuring out my adhd has improved my life. Like I've still got plenty of problems, but being able to understand myself and have tools like medicine and community to dig myself out of problems means I'm able to get myself out before anything gets too bad (like it used to).

You cannot convince me that we are anywhere even close to ready for consumer-facing AI agents. "but AI moves so fast!" yes queen, so do drunk drivers

Letting the child watch tv

So happy that the children are getting along

It's been such a joy working on the script and with voice actors the past several weeks. Really taps into the theatre parts of me I've barely touched since getting into games.

I assume it's ideal ergonomics to rest my keyboard on my knees so the cat has plenty of space to sleep on my desk

with so many companies dumping out generative AI slop garbage in their products, I believe that it is not an exaggeration to say that *a lot* of us indie creatives are legitimately turning out *more professional* work than huge companies in many cases

Bean has learned to climb the stairs. New power means she's unlocked a whole new area in the metroidvania that is my apartment.

Just added "More consequences for flirting" to my backlog

Evan is live-posting as he reads the Skrmetti decision. Follow along here:

You can see why MARINES are necessary.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

CNN: Protestors are holding hands and singing. People of all ages and races and genders are present. I'd say it's been a while since I've seen the city so United, but we saw it sadly earlier this year with the wildfires. LA is tired. Tired of climate change, tired of fascism, and fighting back!

We've still got so far to go with the game, but so many beautiful things keep coming together kinda magically.

This is Bean. I brought her home yesterday. She's adjusting nicely. Hasn't met Vlad yet but he's very curious and keeps sticking his face under the door.

When sleeping cats lap their tongues are they dreaming of eating food?

happy pride and remember to live out of spite

would be nice if all our highest profile cis allies would stop blindly adopting right wing vocabulary (“biological sex”, “normal man/woman” “real man/woman” “preferred identity”)

Not typical me, but ready to start some shit.

You can't be pro-unions and also pro-AI. AI is the ULTIMATE scab.

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

We really lost the Mandate of Heaven when this stopped being the guiding principle for fantasy movies

There were many beautiful moments at Sara and Dave's wedding, but I love this magical moment of being handed a friendly Swallowtail. (Don't worry, I brought it to the bride afterwards).

Screaming! Thank you, @pyunidae.bsky.social

Yes, we can all laugh at this, but it also demonstrates the entire point of the AI push: They want to make you dependent on it to inform you, and then control what it tells you. It’s why they buy newspapers and social media, too. Elon is showing the billionaire playbook in the dumbest way possible.

i have three types of ttrpg characters: * The chaotic one trying their best to be very sensible * Small abandoned magic child, probably violent and sensitive * Smart, reckless hedonist

As I get older my tastes steadily move more and more towards games I would describe as "charming"

Got the prologue story roughly into game last night and played it with the team today. Few highs are as high as a line getting the exact reaction you hoped.

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. no cheating! If you look closely, I'm COVERED in cat hair.

Draft number 6 complete. Needs a little cleanup, but don't think we need a number seven. Prologue is coming along!

4 favorite films of the decade so far

Mahou Shoujo High School RPG @cursedmagic.bsky.social

This video is absolutely fantastic, breaks down every single nonsense argument on GenAi made by GenAi advocates, and does so in such a succinct way! Plus its always a joy to watch people work on their craft! Watch asap because it’s spot on! youtu.be/1L3DaREo1sQ?...

Not sure how many examples we need of standing up to them not just being the right thing to do, but also the best outcome

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

On a fundamental level, I don't understand sprinkling RPGs with quick time events. Like I'm not signing up for an action game. Who is adding action 1% of the time for?

Pleased with my eyeshadow today and sharing. 💚
