Only just found out that tomatillos aren't like...another word for small tomatoes. These things have husks? And they're sticky inside? Wild.

Alright lawyers, does this count as established precedent? If I spot a fed while holding a footlong, is it my constitutional right and civic duty to huck a hoagie at them?

Hey game dev friends, if you're in need of a senior producer please let me know. Most recent experience is primarily in VO/PCAP/Localization production but also have produced design, art, and engineering teams aplenty over the last 13 years.

I met two dogs today! Just adding to the good vibes.

Please, please god, I need the Bluejays to win. Think of how funny it will be when people get mad they don't visit the White House. We'll enter a new golden age of bad-faith articles. It will be glorious.

Hold up, this is relevant again.

Watching your peers go feral on the internet is America's true greatest pastime.

First day in the books at @systemera.net! I've joined the @starseekergame.systemera.net team as a Senior Technical Game Designer for the next six months, and they've been incredibly welcoming! Looking forward to collaborating on some cool stuff with everyone here.

Love that my first day at a new gig perfectly overlapped with the first time I've had a cold in over a year! Alas, we persevere!

The past fifteen minutes have been a wild emotional roller-coaster of finding out a new Fire Emblem released last month and then reading about what it actually entails.

If you are a big company and want to pay me $100k a year to tell you "Don't do that" when you are about to do something stupid, I will save you hundreds of millions of dollars and otherwise mind my own business. Standing offer.

Every consecutive walk of the same player should give them an additional base. You walk that guy four times in a row? That's a Home Run, baby!

If this keeps going until Sunday, do they have to fall back an inning?

I think they should add Shahrazad to baseball.

Promise Mascot Agency feels like playing a modern LEGO Island, which is the highest honor I can bestow.

Dreamt that I made friends with a fat baby possum, and it's the happiest I've felt in months. A happy round little fur ball could fix me.

I'm still having a good time, but running in circles trying not to get murdered by two Machop and a squad of Drilbur while desperately trying to catch a Gibble with stats that don't suck ass is truly testing me.

Someday, after League of Legends is shut down, the only remnant of the first fifteen years of my career remaining will be my physical copy of Borderlands 2 for the Xbox 360.

Not to get all conspiracy tin foil...but are we sure they're actually building a ballroom? Like, yeah, it's on brand, but have we considered that maybe they're turning D.C. into a giant transmutation circle or something?

So glad I picked up Pokemon Z-A already after only playing for ten minutes. The cooldown battle system has me theorycrafting right off the bat.

Finished signing some paperwork today, but I'll be starting a new position soon! I'll also be continuing work on the indie game I've been developing with a handful of collaborators, so this is going to be a *very* busy year for me. But I'm super excited to be able to share news on both fronts soon!

Is there a consensus on the best alternative to Spotify? I pretty much only use it to listen to podcasts in the car and play chill music through the night to help me sleep.

BALL x PIT could probably run on a PS2, and it's already dunking on most modern AAA games in terms of genre innovation. Not to mention just basic bang for your buck.

If I had a nickel for every time a right-wing podcaster was assaulted by supernatural forces this year, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm at the stage of my life where I'm in multiple, unrelated group chats that are all popping off about the new grocery store opening up nearby.

Straight up, we do not need new consoles. The current generation is plenty powerful enough. This will only further balloon production costs for no real gain and further the weird self-sustaining player propaganda that every strand of hair must be individually rendered or the game is trash.

Surprise meeting with donuts.

Sucks that my favorite hobby and my career and a burgeoning art form truly coming into its own became the target of the dumbest (yet somehow most impactful) American political movement of the century and the dumbest (yet somehow most impactful) scam of the century all at once.

I guess this means I can talk about what I was working on for most of 2023 now! I had to learn a bunch about physics, treads, and combustion engines to get these tanks working. Especially the hover ones, that was some fun vector math I hadn't done before.

I gotta know, is anyone here an Argent Skull enjoyer? Every aspect of that weapon feels awful to me compared to the other Nocturnal Arms.

I wish I could try a sample of the Stupid Juice they make all tech executives drink. Just to see what it's like to have no self-awareness or foresight for a few hours. I bet it's exhilarating.

"...separating hype from high-leverage opportunities..." Alright boss, here you go! I put all of Gen AI in the Hype box and nothing in the Opportunities box. Sorted accurately, just like you asked. That'll be $430,000 - $840,000, please!

I only went to Costco for some groceries, it's not my fault they had a big display for the Lego Game Boy directly in my path!

Getting contacted by a recruiter for a defense contractor has me nostalgic for the simpler times of being inundated with messages from Web3 recruiters. I didn't have to be polite to those guys, they didn't have drone missiles.

Sorry, can't work today. Motivation got raptured.

It's a great day for dads!

Yeah man, this isn't new information. Everyone who does computers has been saying this shit since day one.

I ended up just hijacking part of my UI to print out the relevant log messages, but still would love to know if anyone is aware of a fix for this for the future! #GameDev

Have an Unreal bug that's only manifesting on Shipping builds. Unreal doesn't log in Shipping, so overrode that with: bOverrideBuildEnvironment = true; bUseLoggingInShipping = true; Now Unreal won't package in Shipping with a linker error for default engine LogType macros. Anybody seen this?

Luckily, this isn't something that could ever happen in the real world, and only four or five people will ever be trying to access their servers at once. Definitely not a stunning foundational flaw that makes the whole thing even more embarrassing.

The budget for this could have ended world hunger.

My dad loves Kimmel, so hopefully this will be a radicalizing force for center-left boomers everywhere.

I know Etsy witches who use subtext, and they're all cowards.

Just got back from Weapons, which is a pretty good horror film and a fantastic comedy.

I grew up with an SNES, so I didn't have Sonic as a kid. I had Bubsy, which I never owned, but which I rented on a near weekly basis from Blockbuster. I don't think I ever made it through even a quarter of the game. I'm so excited for this game. I fucking love Bubsy.

I need a little Trello board just for keeping track of my own tasks so I don't drop anything! How do you live like this?!

I'm not a savvy poster, so instead I'm just going to politely ask you to follow the account I made for my game team if you're interested. It would be very cool and I would appreciate it and think you're very cool.

Hey there, world! It's time to introduce ourselves. We are Braver Cat, a small indie team working together to make a cool video game we think you'll all enjoy! We hope you'll follow along for updates as we progress.

hi!! I did the cover artwork for the third volume of this zine. As always, it has so many amazing artists involved, so please check it out♥

Gonna start off the week with a wild shot, but hey, @samreich.bsky.social and @dropout.tv, if you're interested in publishing an indie video game...hit me up!
