bring back FLUDD

btw I’m 38 now 👁️💋👁️

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Jenna woke up and decided to choose violence today

you can have nuance when unions protecting employee rights are the norm. until then fight with all you've got folks

No.

Got this to hang in the office bathroom

We're predicted to face the worst flu season in a decade, as the major strain =/= strain targeted in seasonal vax. If you want to reduce your risk of spending holidays ill, I recommend using a good-fitting mask. I like the Canadamasq Q100 a lot; it's earloop but N95-equivalent, breathable, 🍁-made.

We make our games the old fashioned way: no AI and with 11 secret herbs and spices

*bangs fist on table* LUMINES!!!!

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

Begone from me! A starter PC? This PC is a finisher PC! A gaming device of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!!

The new Lumines has absolutely killer art direction precisely because it has zero fear of being perceived as corny. It will just throw every idea it has at you and maybe not all will land but at some point you WILL cry about how all humans are connected while matching broccoli and tomatoes onscreen

honestly, the d-pad adds a lot

on bluesky, you can’t even say “i hope u die” you have to say “enjoy the camps”

lol, so bsky really only did admit it because a journalist called up techfash are vile shitheads, but the other thing about techfash is that they are fucking incompetent

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

Well I can see Bluesky is handling a PR crisis in their normal competent manner

There are few people I would stop shitposting for, and one of them is Sarah Kendzior But more importantly Jays and Aarons need to be gone from Bluesky, or we all go.

I like that every indie is like fuck it were releasing in November now no more rules

Goodbye Volcano High (2023)

still sober after almost 4 months and i might actually go a little insane

No.

i prefer to lower costs on videogame development by underpaying and exploiting my workers the old fashioned way: crunching them to the bone

👏farm👏to👏table👏video👏games👏

Cool cool this is the most chilling thing I’ve read all year

Waiting til the sun goes down so I can Rotate Some Blocks with my full attention(!!!!)

sorry new game is delayed cause i gotta lock myself in a room and play lumines arise for a month straight

what if for my birthday we announce a new game

The Curb Your Enthusiam music started playing in my head as soon as RFK noped out of there bsky.app/profile/atru...

when you're a game developer trying to diagnose achievement bugs

skill issue

“We are going to achieve austerity through AI” is going to be a very fun fuck around and find out time for Canada 🤪

if you'll allow me a little bit of libbing out when mamdani dropped some arabic in his speech it hit me in the feels. I'm not immune!!!

Wow if Zohran can do that, maybe I, a fellow Millennial, can also run for office (immediately has emotional breakdown attempting to organize a potluck)

Producers are not game developers. Period. Producers are tortured creatures operating on anxiety/adrenaline, convincing stakeholders that "plans" are real and not fanfiction, while praying to whatever sick god they worship for the game to ship. These things are not the same.
