Oh and I was just wondering where "curated" has gone: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/s...

This is what a camera app developer looks like when their custom LUT works.

My fav therapy for imposter syndrome is doing something I can’t even pretend to be a pro at.

It's BYOD Day today: natapokrovskaya.threadless.com/designs/brin...

‘Rollercoaster’ at Cirkobalkana. Processed with @heliographe.studio’s AgBr, my go-to BW app since its launch.

I very much wanted this little app no-one has made yet. Then I turned to Claude and in 24 hours I have it. It works! It actually does the thing I want it to do! I’ve never made an app before, never even touched Swift, and my baby is so amazing, even at this early stage.

Fellow game devs who came into this field from other industries, I have a question for you: unevenly.substack.com/p/w7-and-byo...

That’s how you name your shades to sell them

I've never been to GDC, but it feels like there was some marketing thinking like "'Conference' sounds too serious and boring! GenZ won't get it! We need entertainment! Let's call it… a festival!" thinking behind this.

Fiction: finding a stash of money you have forgotten about in a drawer. Reality: finding a pair of socks in your fitted sheet.

Can you believe this thing makes me look forward to coming to the office every day

Good morning, starting the day with thinking what Nice Thing* I want to have this week. *Not necessarily a "thing".

Job opportunity: Creative Director on World of Tanks: HEAT: wargaming.com/en/careers/v... Come join us in making this "funky as hell" (as our game designer says) game!

Oh, and how handy it's that I have a newsletter with a bit of advice to filmmakers wanting to pivot to games: unevenly.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

Just put up this week’s poster, my homage to @emilymandel.bsky.social. Took the photo yesterday and instantly knew what it was going to be. Which is the purpose of this whole exercise: connecting words and images on a hunch.

I used to be a screenwriter before I became a game writer/narrative designer (not on Major Features tho). There are two sides to this issue. One, there are things game writers learn from screenwriters, especially in the character-driven approach (never not advocating for it). 1/

How am I supposed to deal with questions like this? What if others tell me nothing? What if I've been rude, but there was no-one else to tell me about it later?

My Week 2 report of my 12-week year is up, along with an important message: open.substack.com/pub/unevenly...

Most texts for my posters just appear in my head, but this one is actually real: I spotted it while driving towards a tunnel on a Serbian highway. Can't recall if I've seen it anywhere else. natapokrovskaya.threadless.com/designs/we-a...

MS Word has an interesting take on inclusivity

She has.

Thinking dangerous thoughts. Thoughts on which personal project I'm going to take on when THE BOOK is finished. They know how to wait, just like heroin.
