I CANNOT HANDLE THIS. 😂 Also I would be so effing angry if the answer to my ad getting approved was basically "Re-record this with an american accent" As part of a team who has also spent the last 10 weeks fighting with tiktok ads, I can only wish this team good luck.

Read another book that you all should read. You want to know why the way people in the US talk creeps you out? Read this. A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/558306...

We're not gonna tell you anything about the games in this bundle. These are experiences best entered knowing as little as possible. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/70688/Hidden_Depths/

I read an article last year about this- it was a pretty depressing look at how boys are raised to not notice anything. Like I was expected to notice when shit needed to be done- there's dishes, I have to do them. There's laundry- I have to do it. There's stuff on the stairs... etc.

apropos of nothing... I did 2 sets of 15# (what is that... 6.8kg?) in each hand on lateral raises at my lifting session this morning. I have never been so excited to lift such light weights in my life (my trainer was also yelling excitedly)

What a fucking shot holy shit

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

Here's a reminder, or maybe a notice, that this book exists: Selling Sexy- Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American Icon Both Adam and I have read this and it is 1) a book that is basically a masterclass in marketing and 2) a hell of a look at feminism us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Sorry. It's thursday and I am procrastinating some real boring work. I should not open my social media.

Reading the comments here and so many people are like- where are the games in the middle? What about 500k-1m units? What if you are asking for a million dollars in funding... Funding isn't available for these projects because these are "not profitable enough" Let that sink in for a sec.

This got cut for length, but one of the reasons Veatch uses a few AI-generated clips (which are all clearly labeled) was to test the claims that generative AI programs like Sora can help filmmakers make more money through better deals with studios. Turns out, it's not that simple

CORGISPACE NOW HAS 100% MORE CORGIS (& PUGS)‼️ The newest FREE CorgiSpace update is OUT NOW! There's 3 new games to explore - 19 games total! 🕹️ Play CorgiSpace on Steam or itch.io!

Big purchases count as work for me- same as online shopping, booking flights, etc. Most of the time I take care of any of this in the first 30 or last 30 of my "work" day. I also have a ton of tabs open, usually researching, and I can update all calendars at once and nothing gets missed.

When I answer questions about AI, I generally talk about practical implications (copyright is a big one- if you are gonna sell something, you better own the copyright). It goes without saying, but maybe it also needs to be said, that the algorithms are highly problematic (theft, racism, etc)...

HUNGRY FOR EVEN MORE CORGISPACE? 👀 There's another FREE UPDATE available next week - 3 new games to munch on! Play CorgiSpace on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4044300/...

I did have to run through Detroit Metro... again. That's twice in under a year. It was not fun. I changed my whole wardrobe today so I could sprint from the B gates to the A gates just in case. If I had walked, I would have missed my flight. My luggage somehow showed up too. 🎉

Parent thread on what it was like to prep our house so we could leave for GDC for an abbreviated week (I can't even go for the full 5+ days. Why? Because representation matters and I (we) busted my/our ass(es) to get this circus scheduled so the schedule wouldn't go up in flames while we are away.

Hi it's me, a middle aged soccer mom, currently min maxing her outfit in case she has to... let's see... *sprint through another damn airport, clocking an 800m run time that she hasn't run since high school, with a backpack on, to make her connection, to get to GDC today*

I will be doing things at GDC this year! 1) I am giving a 60 minute talk! schedule.gdconf.com/session/insi... 2) I am judge at GDC pitch (again): gdconf.com/gdc-pitch/ 3) I will be attending Adam's talk! schedule.gdconf.com/session/corg... See you at the show!

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

👀

I don't talk about my kids much online because they are teens now and mostly I would just yell about soccer anyways. But I've been thinking about their personalities and today I was like, yeah so that one is more like a semi truck hitting black ice on a freeway and yeah. yup. 10/10. no notes.

This is has me cackling this morning.

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something. www.ign.com/articles/tun...

You: Do you let your kids play Roblox? Me: Absolutely not. Blah blah blah it's on parents to monitor, blah blah blah- yeah. You want to know all of the other places my kids get to play games? It's most of them. There's a reason (about a million) that Roblox is a non-starter in this house.
