Saying AI is inevitable is some BORG shit. You sound like the fucking Borg.

I present to you the only photo I took when riding passenger side during our road trip out to Nebraska.

Hey. So. Turns out the jets in whirlpool tubs in hotel rooms don’t just blow air out. They blow water. 7 FIREHOSE sprays—angled upwards. I didn’t know this and turned them on just a bit too early. It was like a Jackass prank. Bottom of Splash Mountain level sprays from all sides right at my face.

Interesting to see McConnell honoring the ancient pharaoh's tradition of taking your pet along with you to the afterlife

senator dickhead mcnospine (D): sending my love to senator graham’s family in this trying time. while we didn’t always agree, we always voted for the same things and hung out with the same people. had some truly great laughs during meetings about the children we bombed. i’ll miss him deeply,

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.

Give me your tips for how you find the time/energy/motivation to create little games as side projects after working full time as a game dev. Genuine request. Because looking at a game engine after a ten hour work day makes me want to wither and die a little bit each time.

Burn-out isn’t an individual problem. It’s a systemic one.

“no, but” is the only way a game will ever ship. learn it. embrace it

I’m sick of living in a SNL skit. It’s embarrassing to be American.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I haven’t done a video edit since high school, but I made a thing for AMV Night. M*A*S*H is anime to me. Thank you @thelukeman.bsky.social and @pizzasuplex.bsky.social for AMV Nights. They’re a showcase of talent and a wonderful celebration of the things people love. 🖤 youtube.com/watch?v=Bl3X...

No other Transporter Chief could stand up to might of O'Brien. Teri Hatcher never had a chance. You don't see O'Brien falling for some two-bit Han Solo fanfic knockoff.

The edibles were hitting good that night in Montana.

Step all over me once: no worries, pal. I’m sure it was a misunderstanding. Step all over me twice: shame on me for letting it happen again. Step all over me a third time: just you wait till I tell my therapist about this.

Some new fish friends. Sherman the plakat betta and one of the five kuhli loaches that now hang out in the tank.

What if I just skewered myself on it instead?

Still the best walk buddy and reluctant BFF Ciao had.

I still think about you every single day, you silly boy.

Brandon knows what he’s talking about.

Happy Intl Women's Day

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H

It’s a little absurd that there isn’t a physical media release of the M*A*S*H tv series that uses the HD scans of the negatives AND gives you the option to turn off the laugh track. Anyways… still one of my favorite shows of all time. Even if I have to watch it in 480p to avoid the canned laughs 😭

God fucking damn it.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

Just a girl and her favorite ninja turtle.

Trying to watch my favorite holiday movie at my mom’s place be like:

I remember when people were shitting on Alan Wake 2 right when it came out because they were mad it wasn't on Steam and were like "oh this is gonna suck, it's a failure, it's garbage" and I was like "nah, this is amazing" and someone was like "why are you dying on this hill?" well, I won lol

Guess who's raising money for Children's Hospital this year? Join us on November 15 for some Eye of the North shenanigans and tales from the vault. #extralife #guildwars www.extra-life.org/participants...

Hey quick tip: you’ll have more success communicating with strangers on here if you’re not a weirdly aggressive and offputting little freak that no one likes

Much of my life has been spent surrounded by Drew Struzan’s art. It’s practically woven into my DNA with so many vivid memories of picking up VHS tapes and books just to stare at his art on the covers.

Great Vancouver show last night by @murderxbryan.bsky.social, Chris James and their guests Jon Gabrus and @stefanheck.bsky.social Was totally worth jumping on the train from Seattle for. Also, we definitely need to spend more than 4 hours in Vancouver next time. Cool city.

I’m reading @monteiro.bsky.social’s book ‘Ruined by Design’ again because it’s more relevant than ever. “Either by action or inaction, through fault or ignorance, we have designed the world to behave exactly as it's behaving right now. These are our chickens coming home to roost.”

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

The tragedy of the UX Designer is being completely incapable of using technology without losing your entire fucking mind.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

Hey y'all- I was impacted by the layoffs at Firaxis this morning. If you or anyone you know needs a mid to senior level materials artist that has experience in building material libraries, lighting, 2D art, and props I'm your girl!https://www.artstation.com/daniellazeman

Maya very quickly became one of my favorite people at the studio when I started. Hire them. Seriously. They’re freaking great and you’d be silly not to snap them up.

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

I was a Firaxis narrative designer/writer and lost my job today. Any help sharing leads on new opportunities would be great! Over 3.5 years, I contributed to Civilization VII and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, helping turn maps, mechanics, and chaos into memorable stories. See my work benreeves.carrd.co

duh i'm Magritte i can't paint faces for shit duhhh

This is what journalism being "data driven" has caused (+growth profit motivation) Being data driven is to be short sighted, reactive, and to lack context Yes, you should talk to your audience - but be informed by them, not driven by them (same applies in UX Research in general)
