Americans mention a terrible politician who needs to be removed from power, and it's always some man who is no less than 120 years old and can only be voted out during a solar eclipse or something 🫠 Bad here in Canada too but damn some of those USA positions should not be held the way they are

I hate when what looks like an otherwise fun movie stars Mark Wahlberg 😭 Why would you do that? Why would you make me a nice burger and then put something so unpleasant in there? Annoying 🫠

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Me seeing everyone finally talkin about things that have needed talkin about for ages. Lol welcome to the partyyyyyy

Making a game is like making a movie except that when a shoot day begins, sometimes your set is underwater. Or your camera is a banana Imagine that. Imagine the camera is a banana and you have to shoot the same movie you were shooting yesterday

Most folks who spell my name right on the first try cite growing up with these novels as the reason "Alanna, like the knight!" 🥹 thanks @tamorapierce.bsky.social 🫶🏾 I sadly didn't get to grow up with them (didn't know the series until a few yrs ago). Get a young person this book for me alright 😁🧡

Being a producer involves giving your devs deadlines and organization and support and structure but also a little forehead kiss sometimes

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

BREAKING NEWS: Politician wins with groundbreaking "vote for my values and policies" strategy, rejects years-long traditional "prove you hate the other guy" technique

Can someone draw Miles and Peter Spider-Man congratulating Mamdani on the win I just think that'd be nice 😂🙌🏾💖

If a person's desire to *be* the change outweighs their desire to *see* the change, be cautious of them no matter how virtuous the cause they're leading the charge on They may want credit more than progress

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

I am too bad a bitch to have a headache

Whenever I see someone breathlessly insisting "AI is the future" and "you'll get left behind" I think of this @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social bit about the square wheel Just a bunch of folks hoping they can sell me "what if you want to get somewhere slower" 😂 Link: vt.tiktok.com/ZSyAbcv4H/

Having now spent a year as a producer at a studio, I'd say this is my best depiction of what game development looks like

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio

This scene from Community will never not be relevant to me

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

Good luck to all the pet owners who must explain to their domesticated creatures why breakfast is an hour late today

I think it'll trigger a Groundhog Day-like purgatory from which we may never escape

*looks at Bluesky feed* Okay now I'm confused is there a revenge arc happening or something? Has blood been spilled?

Are the baseball birds doing well or poorly? Difficult to decipher the current Toronto outdoor sounds 🤔

Today is cold and cloudy Today is vid game and bed 😤👍🏾

The first like 20 minutes of Thunderbolts does this and part of me hoped the rest of it would too 😂 Still a good fun time tho They're wracked with something but not guilt. Ennui, maybe 🤭

To the man dressed as an escaped prisoner waiting to get into my condo building: I have a theory on why security is not unlocking the door for you

The grasp those Bitmoji or Memoji things have on my parents' generation is wild The people really do yearn for a character creator huh

Best way to describe Bluesky is that it is the Medium Place

"There are many landlords who own properties and not putting them up for rent because they're afraid people might move into them for a long time" motherfucker do you think of the words you say or do you just say them

Problem: Much housing being owned but not lived in Solution: More strict vacancy tax + crack down on AirBnB profiteering Ford Gov't Solution: If we give greedy landlords the power to evict at will, that should inspire them to put the empty investment properties they're hoarding on the market 😡

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

When your custom character appears in a cutscene.

I'm the type of AO3 reader that's not only aware of the comment character limit, but also very relieved it's 10,000 They did that for people like me. I need to give the author a full review. I gotta set the scene before I explain how they've altered my brain chemistry

While we're finishing up Dosa Divas, we're still shopping around two smaller new projects. We wanted to let folks know with enough time and severance. Here's a spreadsheet with info on each person and I'm happy to provide any recommendations for any of them. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

It's a palpable loss to us as individuals, and as a society, for us to stop doing creative things just because we're not in the top skill or popularity percentages of people who do them. We don't do ourselves any favors by thinking stuff we create has to impress or sell to have value.

Based on the volume in downtown Toronto I'm guessing we succeeded at a sport tonight
