People are saying Battle Suit Aces is one of the most soon to be released games of all time!

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT...it's only FIVE days until Battle Suit Aces launches on PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch! 🤩 if you like mecha, queer found family stories that warm your heart, devastatingly beautiful anime-style characters, and addicting gameplay, check us out!

I worked on a new gallery exhibit, featuring hundreds of paintings from Ellen Harvey's project The Disappointed Tourist! Come see some art! Hear some stories! Remember some places lost to time! Use my cute lil' digital experience boxes! Opens Sept 29th at the Chicago Architecture Center!

In light of the GDC news, @bitbashchicago.com will now be a conference where some nice people sit quietly listening to a talk about optimizing shaders while thousands of tech bros mill about an exhibition hall hawking the shadiest businesses you've ever heard of

i am sorry WHAT

As of this week I have lived in Chicago longer than I have lived anywhere else in my life combined, and despite that fact every single Chicago local I know will still refer to me as "from Miami." I love this town.

One of my co-workers collapsed from exhaustion on his way to work, spent several days in the hospital.

Been a minute since I've been part of a new exhibition, but happy to say I'm part of the team working on a new show about the art of Ellen Harvey at the Chicago Architecture Center opening at the end of this month! Come by and check it out! www.architecture.org/visit-the-ce...

gamers gonna come hard against the Chicago Department of Transportation

Happy anniversary to two of my favorite people on the goddang earth.

I've got 14 hours on a train to and from Minnesota next week. If it's out by then... what a way to go.

How one of the papers that was once the epicenter of film criticism and thrived off its power and value can deem it unnecessary is absolutely beyond me. Especially when you're employing one of it's best contributors. That's not identifying the inessential, that's a failure to support your talent.

MSN, Ow!

I've been developing edu/all-ages games for most of my career, it's astounding how much desire & how little output there is. People contact me constantly about my old flash games, or asking for recommendations. It's the most obvious sign we're an industry run by people who don't know their market.

never a better time than realizing you'll be at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social for over 11 hours when somebody asks what you're up to this weekend

Any folks I know wanna join my fantasy football league? We got one open spot! Super casual, no buy-in, just a buncha nerds and a chill Slack. Lemme know!

89.3 The Current was the most influential source of my musical tastes growing up. RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT is a close 2nd.

my most toxic trait is believing John Travolta is brilliant as Edna Turnblad in HAIRSPRAY

It's that time of the year, friends. Bit Bash is back in the Chicago game developers charity kickball tournament, and I need some of y'all with dough to back us and help kick these AAA snobs butts. Chip in if ya can, it's for the kids! givebutter.com/Kickballers2...

paying $75 dollars at the sphere to see a movie that looks like when they used to insert billy crystal into the oscar nominees

Really can't figure out why Fantastic Four just hit me as like, a flick I loved where the reviews of folks whom I'm usually in tune found it "pretty good" to "awful." Like sure, I'm glad I loved a movie, but I just can't pinpoint why it clicked so hard for me.

quickly realized why these marlins/brewers seats were 18 dollars it is 90 degrees and direct sunlight

From where we started, I had no idea where we'd end up.

What an absolutely bonkers and amazing thing we did.

We did it! We put videogames on a river! Thank you SO much to everyone who came out to Chicago Style, our first annual fundraiser, together we earned $4000 for Bit Bash, the Lake Effect Fund, and Urban Rivers! Couldn't make it and still wanna fund Chicago artists? Donate at www.bitbashchicago.com.

Truly my favorite part of working on the Wild Mile yesterday was seeing SO MUCH WILDLIFE returning to the Chicago river. Caught a few pics but we also saw otters, turtles, and a giant beaver who just splashed around and hung by the bar a good portion of the night. What an amazing place.

TONIGHT is Chicago Style, our fundraiser to support Bit Bash and the Lake Effect Interactive Arts Fund! We're projecting Chicago-made indie games at the Wild Mile, floating on the river! This is easily one the most unique event we've ever done, you don't wanna miss it. www.bitbashchicago.com

Some other shots from putting up the Bit Bash banner on the Chicago River today. This is gonna be one for the books.

I genuinely cannot think of a cooler place to be setting up our little circus. Like... it's a river. There's not... like... electricity. But we're gonna make it happen damn it. And kick off the future of VGA at the same time.

If you've ever wanted to play Johann Sebastian Joust, while floating on the water, Friday's your chance. WE'RE RAISING THE STAKES

Join us this Friday for Chicago Style, a special fundraising event. Play a retrospective of Chicago-made indie games projected along the river, enjoy free cocktails and live music, and support the continued development of Bit Bash Chicago, LEIAF, and Urban Rivers’ Wild Mile! bitbashchicago.com

i am on a 7000 series CTA train for the first time, getting on at Jefferson Park, and all the digital signage says we're going to be running express to Forest Park and hm, that could be bad for my commute

I visited the Earth Room on a friend's recommendation when I was in NYC a couple years ago. Spent about an hour, just transfixed. Asked every single one of the questions in this article to him. Wish I'd known more about him, but at the same time, feels nice to just be part of the legacy.

xfinity's "THE WIFI IS BOOMING" is the "Bear Down For Midterms" of ad campaigns and this post will be understood by no more than 3 people

got hit on my bike last night... by a rat. it just ran across the street, jumped and slammed straight into my gears, and i went down can I say I'm from Chicago now

Man SISTER MIDNIGHT kicks ass

When Dairy Queen first opened when I was in Singapore, the flip thing was in all the ads, and for the first two weeks until they gave up, they'd make your Blizzard, you'd both watch in resignation as they poured it on the ground, and then they'd begin making another.

my man YOU'RE the weather app

Not working on this one but I helped out a liiiiittle bit in the early days doing IT to set up the development space, and it's a cool project. Glad to see it out and truckin'.

@blankcheck.bsky.social will you be covering these on the patreon

One of the best Xbox features was its search. On any movie's page you could select the director or cast, and see other movies or projects they made, available for rent. Inexplicably, they killed that entire search function, but left the cast and crew credits as buttons to search their names. So now:

like... 5-6 am, maybe 2009-2010. walking up michigan along Grant Park on my way to get a coffee, I look up, see Simon Pegg coming the other way. Still half-asleep, my mind just interprets this as a person I know so I say "Hey Pegg." Not missing a beat he replies, "Hey Stranger."

taskmaster, cashmaster, or assmaster, nobody rides for free

@trinandtonic.bsky.social I'm very anxious and exhausted!! How are you holding up, nemesis? Hope we can both get a good night's rest after this!

sox crowd chanting "REACH A LONG-TERM AGREEMENT THAT ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK TO OBTAIN A FUTURE CONTROLLING INTEREST IN THE TE-EAM"

@neitherworld.bsky.social thanks bud!!

havin' a great time at Bleak Week the past couple days, but pretty bummed @amcinematheque.bsky.social only sent out shirt sizes up to XL. Like I get it, I run events! I know there's extra costs with sizes! But I like to keep mementos when I can from my film experiences and am bummed to be left out.
