I see you are getting tired of witnessing so much peace. More coming! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Googling where I can get Oud lessons in Los Angeles now.

I can’t believe how much peace this president makes. It really is incredible. Best at peace ever.

In the very last Scream movie they’ll unmask the killer and it will be a whining Kevin Williamson feeling paternal about any other storyteller’s contributions to his legacy while taking revenge on any critics of any of his less than good ideas. I had fun, but Radio Silence made me feel alive.

Nothing compares to the way everyone gives every other stranger the side eye leaving a new Scream movie on opening night

I told you so.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

I genuinely thought this was a recap of the Stare of the Union.

I spent two hours with my instruments for the first time in months. Maybe longer. Rebuilding my recording setup has been hell, but it might finally be used again.

Some of us are going to have to become employers (again) and it might be the best possible thing that could happen to our industry.

Today sucked. I had people come for me or let me down from the moment I got up until right before I went to the concert. One single solitary friend said they liked something of mine. Made all the difference.

Good morning and happy Monday. I am pleased to announce I had a bad day last November which ended in me buying myself two tickets to see a rock concert in 2026. It’s today. So I’m bringing a buddy of mine to what promises to be an incredible night.

I like how all of the animals in this shot are checking to see if you, the reader, also feel like the AP should have workshopped that headline

Can I have this button? I mean, I can. I can make all kinds of things. Can I wear this button? That’s the real question

As @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social said last week: FINAL BOSS OF MILLENNIALS

When I was a kid just getting excited about drawing I found tracing paper FASCINATING. But my dad, the best artist I knew, discouraged using it bc I wasn't expressing my own ideas or creating anything new. He would have DISOWNED me if I used GenAI. He already thought TRACING PAPER was stealing.

Hey. Genuinely could use some help. It’s the middl of the night here in Los Angeles. I’m listening to the rain outside and I can’t sleep because I can’t stop thinking about the many good games my alt control/attractions/arcade games class have been whiteboarding. Here’s what I need help with: 🧵

Timeline cleanse: today I saw corgis race.

The full map to the original Castlevania. This is a brilliant map. Despite seeing a map in between stages, you don't really think about how it all connects, but the flow lines up almost perfectly making one cohesive castle.

First playtest of alpha 2 with the 10 year old. I literally designed, built, and fabricated a one of a kind custom toy just to feel any joy or purpose in 2026. Two rotary encoders, 77 RGB LEDs, an Arduino uno, and (coming) one speaker and one battery pack. Lots of refining to do, BUT it’s Fun!

It also feels like an impossible story to cover in its entirety. There’s nothing you can write, at least that any mainstream outlet would publish, that feels sweeping enough to capture everything that needs to be said about the Epstein files, so each piece you reads feels so unsatisfying

After two weeks deep inside the Epstein files, I've come to view his operation as something close to an elder abuse scheme. Pitching old oligarchs on the collapse of the global order as a way to fund his sex trafficking operation. www.garbageday.email/p/a-singular...

I just said the phrase “very cozy games adjacent woke GTA-lite in a Target” unironically

Pretty good progress. The game progresses.

Actually, OpenAI, when you say “You Can Just Build” let me tell you the building is kinda the hard part. I’d vastly prefer you come do all the tedious soldering and let me write my own damn novel.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Here we go again.

The Accuratus Mouse Phone was an optical mouse that doubled as a Skype phone

So it's not a total loss, I cut out all five video game commercials from the 5.5 hours of off-the-air nonsense on this tape. Enjoy video game commercials from 25 years ago. I kind of forgot that the year 2000 was still very much the 90s.

Books about game design should be just a little more like cookbooks.

I’m building some “new retro” electronic portable games, like from the pre-screens era of the 70s and early 80s. As a thee I’m designing them based on playground games. The first one was tug-o-war, with dueling pressure sensors. This one will be tetherball.

Prisoner transfer from cell block 1138

the entire business model of Gimlet was to strip mine public radio, privatize all the types of shows that used to be on public radio, and then have a few guys at the top fuck off with all the money and fire everyone who actually made the shows

I just bought this and am thinking I might run a birthday game for myself if it comes in time.

I saw many good animals at the San Diego zoo this weekend, but check out this JC Penny ass senior graduation photo I took of a tiger.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Anxiety hit tonight outta nowhere. Tonight would be a good night to make a cocktail and do some hacking but I have fucking grown up shit to do like answer emails and do workplace harassment training and sksksjshsnsnsuz

Gosh it sure seems like local politicians CAN do something. And it sure does seem like it doesn’t have to take forever to make life better for not just citizens but people coming to your city.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

I just sent filament to some of the heroes printing whistles. Consider donating to ship or sending hero matterhackers supplies.

Something has to be done. This is supervillain stuff. This is un American. What do we do?

In today's episode of 'everyone THINKS they can be a game designer'.

"New Star Trek is bad, new Star Wars is bad, new superhero stuff is bad," Yeah yeah yeah man I get it, I was twelve and had a dad too it's not a perfect system read Faulkner or some shit don't worry so much about this stuff

This extremely hasty sketch is going to be my next project. I spent my free time today in Fusion designing the object but the 3D printer needs some maintenance before we can start fabricating. Oh also I have a lot of coding to do.

#1 tip i have for this: -come to know yourself (difficult, most of the work) -reckon with your weaknesses as you notice them -recognize challenges to those weaknesses as you encounter them in the world -step up to them with the confidence that you will overcome them that builds emotional muscle!

We need to reform the Nazgûl, it would be too extreme to abolish them

The IDIC symbol the author got a tattoo of was conceived by Gene Roddenberry to create a piece of merch to sell to fans. Nimoy hated it. It was always a profit machine, it often wasn’t a profit machine for good people. But what it says still matters and inspires. Seems more emotion than logic. 🖖
