I used to vanpool with a dev who came from Rockstar where they (famously) did not have producers. I quizzed him (a highly skilled sr. engineer) about his role and why left and he was like: “I was always in meetings and managing resources and schedules!” And I said, “Oh, so you were the producer!”

okay so with the emails and this guy gone - let’s be honest, it makes sense the global economy is so shaky. seems like one guy was anchoring everyone’s decisions on how to manage it

why did no one ever say anything about the mid 90s fps cybermage ?????? i thought strife was wild but huh??????

thanks everyone! i think have enough money for meds tomorrow!!

at this point given state of things maybe the state of WA should just buy a new electrified ferry fleet from canada on the cheap and force litigations thru the courts what’s the coast guard gonna do, impound them? our old boats threw a propeller, after having been in the docks for 2yrs for repairs!

[sanders voice] i am once again asking to legalize D2C electrical vehicle sales to demolish the dealerships and to repeal the Jones Act of the early 1900s

before covid it honestly fractured with walmart not even joking if you grew up in a rural town you know - losing little shops destroyed any sense of local sustainability and then the community ties. everything got shipped out, then brain drain took its course making everyone more insular

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Cohost made me realize how much I truly disliked short form posting on the internet (Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon) no matter how decentralized it is. (No shade to the lovely people on here…I just prefer blogging.)

oh hugh morris we're really in it now #art ✧ #TomodachiLife

cohost died for bsky to dominate. we were constantly told by friends cohost was “too different” from twitter ux and that peo would try it later, or it was too slow. now everyone has realized how short term thinking that was but eggbug is long gone

the bus stop for costco in seattle has to be one of the worst bus stops ever

i’m once again now begging you to read Palo Alto & also Worldmaking after empire

“Solar, wind power, and batteries are set to make life a misery for the liquefied natural gas market.” Not great news for Carney’s plan to double down on LNG, but good news for the climate if the LNG projects he was pushing become uneconomical.

Learn how to play Battletech in '94 with some cutesy anime flair! I've shared the cover of one of the Fujimi Dragon Book Fantasy File guides for D&D before, now here's one for Battletech. Absolutely adorable stuff, especially the crew at the bottom.

UnknDoomer from old-games.ru has been doing a series of interviews with game collectors around the world. This week he spoke with guys from Taiwan & Tunisia. While it's stiff, it's an interesting look at the struggles of being a dev/collector in poorer parts of the world: medium.com/@unkndoomer/...

you can basically read this thread and fully understand the 00s-10s - 90s told every kid they were special boys - big mens econoscam rugpulled - 00s now poor special boys want big man to fix system - obama didn’t follow the movie script - bad end ! throw a tantrum after “the end of history”

public radio needs to always exist because otherwise how will you turn on your car radio after dropping your friend off at the train at 11:56pm and hear 3 minutes of droning atonal music, followed by a smooth-voiced announcer saying “thanks for joining us for this hour of bug music”

People say there has never been a truly perfect Star Wars experience and that's how you know they never played the Ladder Map in Jedi Outcast. Yes, it is scored to Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, and the song starts when you ignite your lightsaber and begin to move.

sasha is on a really desperate place and needs our help. if you have absolutely any help to share, it would mean a lot.

so the result is like; even if you yell at a nepobaby, chances are they aren't even *aware* of it It means for the rest of us, we equate visibility with *talent* rather than *connections*, despite having to work so much harder (depending on where you are, economically etc)

i think the reason i resent elite power structures (no matter who is in them - private schools are private schools) is they're so blatantly driven on connections in a way often invisible to the people benefiting from them if that's the system you've known.. you can't imagine a lack of access..

At the heart of every well used US transit system is a piece of infrastructure that was built over 100 years ago that you simply could not build today under any circumstances.
