Happy Hades 2 Day!

Got my flu vaccine today! 💉 Hoping it doesn’t mess me up too badly.

Loving my new phone. 3-4 hour screen on time is leaving my iPhone Air at 60% at the end of the day, which is perfectly fine for my uses. Not sure why anyone would be on their phone more than that. *Looks up American daily average…* SEVEN HOURS?????

Hello from the worlds thinnest iphone 📱… now only to download a bajillion apps

you should hire Bruno. this is sort of reverse-cronyism because yes Bruno is my friend but Bruno is my friend because he’s a talented writer who is good at giving feedback and is also funny, even when we disagree

My LoRa Meshtastic radio came yesterday! I've had it up and running in Chicago for a day now and I've already connected to 150 nodes spanning from here to Michigan and Ohio! I went with a Lilly T-Deck for my first device. Really fun to play with. Callsign: JJB1 📡 #meshtastic #chimesh

Go Blue! 💛💙

Bought and iphone air! It comes tomorrow, and I’m pretty excited. I’m still using a 12 pro max from 2020, which isn’t that long ago, but it’s about my preferred cadence. I went with sky blue. ☁️ Not sure what to do with the old phone, though. I have it and an even older one sitting around now.

practice self love. accept and defend yourself like you might a best friend or family member. you need to be your biggest fan. you decide you. i say this as someone who has unfortunately spent a lot of time trying to understand myself only thru the lens of what i thought other people thought of me.

my wife just referred to diet cokes as "fridge cigarettes" and i've been stunlocked for the last five minutes

I'm a senior pixel artist, concept artist, animator and art director looking for studio work. I make your game look good. Reposts are appreciated.

PSA the latest version of Microsoft Edge is capturing ALT + SHIFT + S at a system level. If you use Visual Assist and enjoy it's "search symbols" feature you might need to rebind it. Killing edge in procexplorer works temporarily, but likely it returns on reboot. Disabling visual search doesnt help

lol. ddosing yourself is practically a rite of passage. in a past job we accidentally ddos'ed ourselves by having the retry timeout on a health check ping accidentally be orders of magnitude wrong. (think ms -> sec). hopefully the engineers involved arent too hard on thenmselves... & then quit meta

God bless the wanderer crest. It has improved my enjoyment immensely. #Silksong

had to scroll back to find Emma’s portfolio, but look. I would work with Emma again. that’s the best praise a director can give, imo.

Friends and colleagues, I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)

Here are the first vaccine recommendations issued by the West Coast Health Alliance, which includes California, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii:

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

In the mood for American historical fiction (anything early 1900s and earlier) so I am giving Boardwalk Empire a try, never watched it before. I’m 3-4 episodes into the first season and am on the fence still. Not emotionally invested yet, but it’s interesting, plus I mean: Steve Buscemi.

Just realized I haven’t listened to podcasts regularly since going to remote work. I’m very taken, but when I put one on it’s usually: - The Daily - Search Engine - Decoder & Verge - Triple Click, Gerstmann, Easy Allies, Bossman, Bombcast My s/o puts on Normal Gossip on car trips and it’s great.

MDEV IS APPROACHING www.mdevconf.com

had a psych appointment today. wasn't sure how to bring up despair brought on by witnessing the slow-motion collapse of our democracy, so i just went with 'doing okay i guess'.

12 week update! Total weight loss: -33lbs (-11.16%) Had a bit of a stall for 2 weeks while on vacation, and have been taking the same dose (5mg Tirzepatide) for 2 months now. I think I've finally acclimated to it, with virtually no side-effects now. Been losing 1-2lbs a week which I am happy with.

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

Ray Romano and Brad Garrett unironically had me wheezing. It was very dumb how long the bit went on, but I totally appreciated how real it was.

Wait that was it?! #Emmys. I donno why but I wasn't expecting it to be over yet, I thought there were at least a few more awards. It felt weirdly anticlimactic to me. Also the whole donation counter bit was awful, I don't think they'll ever do that again.

What did John Oliver saaaay???!!!
