When words fail and you just don’t want to think, go make a big pan of baked Gouda Mac and Cheese and start meal prepping so you can get ahead of your brain’s desire to sabotage you. #whatscooking

Hey friends, if you're heading to PAX East (or MIGHT be heading there) and are a mutual, and want to be on our annual 7 out of 10 panel, let me know! Trying to get a varied group of people on the panel again for PAX East 2025. :)

Got the fancy glassware out for Christmas!

I hope everyone has the best holiday - if I haven’t texted, it’s because I’m so eepy sleepy from all the new meds the doctor gave me for my flare up so don’t be mad. I’m just a little guy. 🥺

Damnit. My heart. Vince was one of the good ones. The ones that when you thought “Ugh. Men in this industry—“ he wasn’t who you meant. Ever. He held doors open for people in every sense of the phrase. He’ll be missed.

Christmas come early, folks!

I got up in the morning yesterday and made twice baked potatoes but also if they were filled with jalapeño poppers? Damn good choice on my part. #whatscooking

My last post I'm sending out re: work for the rest of the year -- so allow me to drop a little note? As a treat? Working these two titles (can't say the others yet) but send folks my way who want somma these in 2026! 1. Starsand Island - Sims meets Stardew 2. Everwind - Minecraft for grown folks

You heard Bri, folks -- this game is a good one and I'm incredibly biased. Let's make sure to talk more in January and if you know people who would get down with a game that will let you build your life on this island in a way not seen in many cozy games? Send them my way.

After spending way too much time at the hospital today and coming home with a heavy sack of meds -- I officially would like to stop that for the rest of the year. I will be a good Candice and take all these meds but it would be SO cool if my body would ease up off the clutch.

Okay. I was influenced. @comtar.bsky.social wanted @belluh.bsky.social and I to experience Expedition 33, so he gifted us a copy. What should I prepare for? No spoilers.

There are a few things in my collection that I'm very happy about. Proud, even. This is one of them and thanks to some eagle-eyed friends, I have it. The absolutely batshit insane live-action Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Everyone should see this movie at least once.

Do NOT give me ideas...

Made an easy cranberry syrup/glaze for Thanksgiving to go with a recipe and it was a hit, so here I am making more for some homemade buttermilk pancakes! A can of jellied cranberry sauce, splash of hot water, orange or lemon juice and some spices in a blender and it’s done. #whatscooking

It’s Homemade-Chex-Mix-in-a-Tin time! #whatscooking

"Most anticipated game" you say...

I am begging, once again, for people to start buying physical media again and start protecting what little of it we have left while we can. We're about to watch SO many films get blinked out of existence as studios fold into streamers big pockets discard catalogs that don't rate to young demos.

And I’d love to talk to y’all about it! I’ve had to keep things quiet so long! 😮‍💨 If you’re a Creator who covers Nintendo Switch content, email me — Candice @ renaissancepr . biz! Subject: Starsand on Switch! Come talk soon! I’m really excited to get folks ready!

One of the coolest things I've seen in awhile and it's a @strangescaffold.bsky.social hit. Definitely check this out if you haven't.

Somedays, nothing feels better than the validation that you were right about the people that you had to leave behind. You do not need to be everyone's friend. There's not enough time to do it and it will never fill your cup the way a handful of wonderful people can.

Whoever tried selling "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" as a comedy and keeps putting 'comedy' in its descriptors? You have some goddamn explaining to do.

Snowed in soooo… no hockey game tonight BUT— Snow day coziness has been achieved! ☃️❄️

🚨🚨🚨WAX HEADS NEW TRAILER!!!🚨🚨🚨 We've been doing a set of dev logs showing cool new stuff in Wax Heads and in this one, @rothiotome.bsky.social (partner in crime at Patattie Games), wonderfully walks through our game loop! So excited to present, please share this far and wide! Plz and thank you!❤️😭

Have a happy (and slime-free) Thanksgiving! 🦃👻🍂

I’m so excited for Wax Heads that I can barely contain myself — and music like this is partly why! Check this out and get to wishlisting! ❤️❤️❤️

I hate to tell y’all this but Pauly Shore’s hit movie Son in Law is a Thanksgiving movie. And, I feel, it’s the best one.

defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

I'm working on something -- who of my people here get into GM'ng TTRPG actual play AS WELL AS video gaming and RPGs on YouTube/Twitch? Doesn't matter the size of the channel -- just matters that they're active. Bonus points for not the 'usual suspects' because new folks need boosting too!

Decided to make a recipe from this Kraft cookbook from the 70’s called “Philly Avocado Dip” and it was actually quite good! To be honest, I’ll probably use this as a toast/bagel spread rather than a dip. 1 pkg cream cheese 2 avocados Lemon juice, Diced onion, fish sauce & salt #whatscooking

It's time to watch a live game of Fifth Season: Roleplaying in the Stillness at #PAXU with @cypheroftyr.bsky.social @urbanbohemian.com @dmjazzyhands.bsky.social @ladyluck34.bsky.social @quincystavern.bsky.social & @taruhunter.bsky.social! Very excited to see these awesome folks play this system!

this used to be the kind of thing you’d see in a Grand Theft Auto game as an over-the-top parody of America

One of the best things about living out here in St. Louis is that I feel seen when it comes to how many R&B and Soul musicians come out here. Never had that back in Nevada. It's been incredible to just be in a city that LOVES music of all kinds here.

I'm running out of goodness juice. I'm going to become evil soon.

My nuclear take is if Half-Life 3 gets announced I am going to be INSUFFERABLE about demanding Left 4 Dead 3, which I care about far more.

In today’s “Things You forgot you recorded for a friend” — Me stirring a big cooker of beans while chanting “Beans in the trap! Beans-Beans in the trap!” (The beans were great, btw. Had them and some saltines all through the day! Eat more beans, people! 🫘 Note: This isn't chili!🫘 ) #whatscooking

Started these baby russet potatoes baking at 1pm and then by 5:30pm I had cut them in half, mixed some sour cream, seasonings, fresh grated cheese, crab meat and green onion and stuffed it all back in there. Baked once more and served next to a baby greens caesar salad. Not bad. #whatscooking

First homemade Chex Mix of the season and let me tell you - this batch tastes nearly identical to what my Great-Grandma made me so many years ago. Tastes like California in the 80’s. The secret lies in homemade ranch seasoning, fish sauce and @belluh.bsky.social’s magic touch. #whatscooking

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Within the past week, I feel I've danced dangerously close to using 'xD' in chats casually. I haven't done it, but I've almost considered it. Screw whatever other 'experts' point to -- THAT is a 'Recession Indicator' right there. THAT.

What a cool thing to see before bed. #northernlights

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

So, I told @belluh.bsky.social that I haven’t had quiche since I was very young and it sounded so good. Played an episode of Dispatch and this was what she made me. Best. Daughter. Ever. Spinach, andouille sausage, mushroom and cheese! #whatscooking
