The crippling isolation when you like Dungeons & Dragons, Lego, and 3D action/adventure video games but your online Discord friends like Pokémon, Magic: the Gathering, and 2D platformers is the hardest reality I have to face every day

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate medium.com/@treeform/st...

We are modernizing the user interface Pray we do not modernize it further

Figma rolling out an actual entry in the effect dropdown for Apple’s Liquid Glass is not something I expected, but it’s pretty neato

Brewed a Potion of Haste

Death Stranding 2 is consuming me, I love it. More than the thought of getting a walking pad for under a standing desk while I work, the thought of using a walking pad while playing DS2 is now probably going to put me over the edge to buying one today lol

Found a Ridge Racer Type 4 press disc on archive.org absolutely loaded with high-res renders. This is my Holy Grail. 📀 archive.org/details/redu...

Today the discord found out that the bluesky logo SVG has — probably erroneously — what they’re calling a benis

Beat another Night Lord last evening, can finally access new fashion options. The real Dark Souls begins here

Just beat the big doggie(s) in Night Reign for the first time (for me) with @fartdirector.bsky.social & @notexactly.bsky.social — played as Ironeye which apparently turns Elden Ring into a third-person action shooter _and I loved it_

Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole! ...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance. 🧵 A thread:

The APWOT Trilogy Reprint campaign is NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! 📚 Help us bring back these 3 timeless publications that are as creative and playful as the people and games featured within them: ⭐️ kck.st/4kjrqhj ⭐️ Sound on! 🔉

Really like the look of this app (seems legitimately useful for B&W photo enthusiasts, and it’s a one-time purchase; no subscription) and its marketing site: www.nuevo.tokyo/agbr

The new sans serif font family, GT Standard, from @grillitype.bsky.social is crazy good: gt-standard.com

What pharmaceuticals did you use to complete your portfolio, and then promote yourself on social media without crippling anxiety, feelings of unworthiness, imposter syndrome, heavy procrastination, the urge to escape, depression, and/or shame? Asking for a friend

I guess this leak of Figma Sites was real after all, neat

Hello, happy Friday. I wanted to publicly note that I’ll be moving internationally from Orlando, Florida to South Korea sometime at the end of June or early July with my partner. This is a major move for us and I’m super excited. We’ve lived for months at a time there, but this time, it’s one-way ✈️

I hadn’t cleaned up my files for at least a year, so, it’s sort of like as close as I can get to a spiritual cleanse, a ritual, to wipe away the afterimage or scarred battlefield of old projects — which can accumulate so many files chaotically during their time — and stand ready for something new

Process.

Folks, I’m happy to report that we are down to only 43 unsorted files in the Download folder, and the number is dropping steadily

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

What would be most interesting to see from me, in terms of a case study? — Logo & brand design process for a AAA video game studio — Story of rebranding a sneaker company and putting the logo on the new shoes — Refresh of a ecommerce brand’s visual identity that +40% conversion

Finally did some weightlifting after a 16-day break. Depression & anxiety wombo combo’d me. What helped for me was doing a writing exercise last night. Feel like it broke some ice in my brain; re-engaging the neurological pathways towards feeling sadness and anger I was probably suppressing, helps

This screenshot excerpt of Figma shows a supposedly leaked new ability to create a “Website” I first saw it on LinkedIn but it could have originated on twitter. It feels real, even if things like this are easily faked. Really interesting to me, as someone who worked on a website builder for years…

Gotta go fast. #gamedev #sonic #pixelart #redpandas #cozygames

Lovely little exegesis by the great printer Theodore Low De Vinne on why in English we use ridiculous quotation marks v. Europe's. He tried to import French guillemets in his new Century typeface but soon reverted to inverted commas. From The Century, 1896:

Quietly, finally working on my site again. Consider this v0.1 since it’s mainly a manual port of my Cargo 2 site to Cargo 3 (way more work than I expected). Just wanted to make a note. I will do the thing where I regularly send out updates and changelogs. Next up is new case studies dmacisaac.com

Less than halfway through the day and I have done a workout, met and exceeded my protein macro goal, and did two loads of laundry. Unlimited possibilities await

Current favorite word: modalities

Figured out what I’m going to make for Famicase this year

There has been a distressingly low amount of emoji reactions on my Discord messages as of late

Everyone forgot to post a photo of Monolith Productions’ greatest game so let me be the one to fix that
