I am not being hyperbolic when I say (tech) capitalism is alienating (making strangers) of us at a staggering scale. Alienating us from ourselves, each other, touch, feeling, thoughts…from the intimacy and care of touch, bedtime stories, prayers, poems, drawings, community, love

i am FREAKING OUT

Thread for yapping about Summer Game Fest!!

Rare Judero Opportunity!

like anyone, I've realized I'm not annoying enough about my projects. so 💃 I write about (indie) games on my website! it has an RSS feed! AND a monthly newsletter where I collate all the things I've written/made/appeared on, plus a song rec and some other ephemera dialedindie.net/p/newsletter...

Went to my optometrist the other week, prescription got worse as per usual, dr said they’d order in some contacts for me to try (different brand than I got in the states). I come in today to try them and they’re like, hey we forgot to order them but we have a sample pair that are close to your RX

I’m digging (heh) Mina the Hollower so far but there’s a type of pixel art I just can’t parse well. Like the first little town is so cute but I have a weirdly hard time “understanding” it. Guessing it’s going to really limit how interested I feel in poking around for secrets. Maybe I’ll adapt!

Oof, Guillermo del Toro absolutely roasting Gutierrez with subtweets over on X-Twitter... I can't even imagine. I hope the money was worth it.

Even if you’re read it before, a refresher is always helpful. People tend to be over confident in the water as soon as summer hits and recognizing drowning saves lives !

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.
 So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada.
 From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁

Alberta separatism is the endpoint of the right wing radio/podcast post-truth ecosystem: a vocal and violent minority trying to tear everything down out of a belief that being petty lords over rubble is preferable to the tyranny of bike lanes and public transit.

Rebounder has been one of my most anticipated games since I saw it at PAX west last year! Really great lineup overall

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Quite pleased to log onto Steam to grab the games I want to play this weekend and find that they’re in a bundle together! Anyone else playing Forbidden Solitaire and/or Titanium Court? 👀

Dropped my bike off for re-assembly and a tune up today!! Very excited to get it back and check out edmontons many new bike lanes 😌

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

It’s snowing and there are 70km/h gusts , Edmonton why 😭 I just want to garden 😔

out now: store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/...

Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something

Rolled credits on Pokeopia last night and I can’t get over how well it works in terms of mashing up games that are well-trodden ground atp into something that feels new and unquestionably more interesting

It’s 17 and sunny on the day of the first oilers playoff game, we’re so back 🥹😎

Okay, this isn't a live-service game. It's a small, $15 regular 5v5 multiplayer game. The only DLC is a $5 'supporter pack' that gives every character one more skin and the soundtrack. It's exactly what people have been demanding because they HATE live-service games. And then gets punished as one!

It’s five of my favourite games in a single bundle! What a treat!!

So I was just laid off from Vicariously. If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy. Any reposts super appreciated.

huge thank you to everyone involved in this mission for reminding us of the best of humanity and I am tremendously glad it all went off as planned space is pretty cool and so, in many cases, are people

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

It’s snowing today so my mind-occupying strategy has been to start meticulously planning what’s going in the garden beds next month. Visualizing plants is the same as touching grass, right?

It's so easy to feel like we're on the worst timeline, but I will forever be grateful that I got to live through the advancement of technology to the point where we get to watch a livestream of astronauts crying together as they name a crater on the moon after a crewmember's beloved late wife.

already getting emotional watching the Artemis II flyby livestream 🥹 my space-obsessed child self would not believe how many women are visibly involved in this mission

the artemis ii is gonna fly by the moon today!! www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxB...
