Just saw someone legit say, with no irony - having a button to fix all game issues before they happen would be great.

Warped Tour 2025 Long Beach was dope.

Had the privilege and pleasure of hanging out with some of our @skateea.bsky.social Player council members last week. I was calm and totally professional. But you know I put on for my city.

I lost most of my 20s (and part of my 30s) to this kind of mindset. I thought I had to act “above it all” to be “cool.” Fuck that. Being openly joyous and liking things with gusto is dope.

Aquachiles + ceviche= aquaviche (with a side of guacamole)

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.   This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Listening to “The Power of Love“ by Huey Lewis and the News, and I was going to say we need more Huey Lewis and the News except that sounds very much like something Patrick Bateman would say.

That feeling when you subscribe to a monthly t-shirt company that works with skate shops and you’re hoping “black, red, or blue” and you open up the package to see a baby blue shirt. I shoulda been specific.

It’s mine and H. Jon Benjamin’s bday today. Am I grilling carne asada and sausage while drinking margaritas and lemon drops? You’re god damn right - Walter White Happy birthday Coach McGurk/Bob Belcher.

We dropped another volume of The Grind today. @skateea.bsky.social www.ea.com/games/skate/...

Jane went to visit her mom yesterday. Kuma rode with us when I took her to the airport. This little nugget - he sat on the couch when we got home and softly woo’d as he waited for her to “get home from work”. He has pretty bad separation anxiety - especially if we’re not both home at night.

My wife constantly tells me to shut the fridge, but she doesn’t realize that it’s a race. I open the fridge , get what I need and make it, then have to get the items back in the fridge before the “door is ajar” sound goes off. Anyone else do this?

Dove into “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” and it’s just fantastic. Played 40 min before bed last night, exploring the vibrant and rich world, and dreamt of adventures. Playing the game is like living an Indy movie. The adventuring, mysteries, story- perfect. Bonus, you get to punch fascists.

That awesome moment when you take 2 days off to burn some PTO hours then wake up that Friday (day 1) with a cold/the flu. At least it was rainy all weekend. -.-

My tiny princess, my niece Lilith gets her Make-a-Wish next Thursday. She's going to be visited by Steve (Blue Clues).

Entering my Peaky Blinders + punk story arc.

My name is Cain and I am now un-Able. What a freakin’ line. (Jenny Says by Cowboy Mouth) open.spotify.com/track/3HSBCz...

the skate. Discord requested a “waddup, brah?”, so I am sharing it with y’all.

No notes. But we now have a new word for *gestures broadly*

Idea: Smokey and The Bandit reboot starring Pedro Pascal as Bandit, Woody Harrelson as Cledus/Snowman, and Anna Kendrick as Carrie. Brendan Gleeson as Buford T. Justice. John C Reilly as Big Enos, Zach Galifiniakis as Lil Enos.

having a chat about the difference between yams and sweet potatoes, and I shared some info. community member thanked me for my tuber knowledge. I replied: I'm not a chef, I just cook a lot. (Big Pun reference from 1998 went over their heads. I'm old. So old.)

I got stupidly and unreasonably excited. For both.

Saw a human with checkered pants (dogtooth) at the pharmacy today. I couldn’t help myself. Me: I love your pants! Them: Cool. Me: Let’s skank! And suddenly, in the silence of CVS, we skanked out to the rhythms in our heads - for me, it was The Specials. #ska

So, at the end of every meeting, huddle, and most emails, I put “stay hydrated”. I’ve discovered I’m NOT the Most Interesting Man in The World, I’m his counter. He said “Stay Thirsty”, I want you to hydrate.

How do you know you’re still a Texan (Austin) after almost 8 years in SoCal? You still slip and say “I’m going to HEB.”

I realized I'm the opposite of the "Most Interesting Man in the World." He would say "Stay thirsty, my friends." I"m all "Stay hydrated, friendos."

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Went to the grocery and stopped to get gas. Saw a dude on a dope foldable e-bike and we started jawing about the features of his e-bike (euybikes) and my dear Black Bess. As the convo progressed, he shared his job and I shared mine. He freaked out and we jammed out talking about

#Flawless The Personal History of David Cooperfield Trotwood: Peggotty? Peggotty? You mean to say a human being went into a church and had herself named Peggotty? Did you mother sneeze when you were christened? Rude. Clap back: “Funny, I thought your name was Pot Kettle Black”…”

Fire Berry salad. Chopped iceberg mixed with baby spinach, cucumbers, onions, strawberries, blueberries, feta cheese, sliced homegrown red Serrano peppers, med-rare grilled steak, and a raspberry vinaigrette.

I think we need an Image CU. Would love to see Marc Slayton (Backlash) and Taboo.

Enter the year you turned 10ish into the gif bar and see what was popular back then…

If Cavill’s Highlander doesn’t include the soundtrack from Lambert’s Highlander, I will be disappointed but watch the hell out of it regardless. open.spotify.com/track/0Uy8lc...

Homemade lemon scones with lemon sugar glaze.

Tomorrow is my favorite day of 2024 (relatively speaking). Today is the earliest sunset at 4:46PM PM. Tomorrow, we gain a minute. Sunset will be at 4:47PM PT.

At Taco Deli I was just told I am the “bastard lovechild of Matt Pinfield and Dave Attell, respectfully of course”. Hahah

Always my adventuring companion, I present: Travel Kuma.

Seatbelt sign has been off for 2 1/2 hours. Announcement and sign goes on. Three dumb-dumbs decide it’s time to stand around the bathroom and cruise the aisle. Grown ass adults. Anywho. Back in Austin for 40 hours.

Legend.

You know you’re with your life mate when she has to run errands for a work party and collect over 100 gift baskets - she need just 11 more - and texts you Bingpot.

You know how Thor calls Groot “Tree”? I named the smart switch for the Christmas Tree lights “tree”, so I call to the Asgardian god “Echo” to “Turn on Tree”.

.... just got Jury Duty Summons for the beginning of 2025. way to start off with annoyance, 2025.

lol

About once a week I think about the visuals and aesthetic of William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet from Baz Lehrman. Also, John Leguizamo and Harold Perrineau stole every scene they were in.
