There's a certain type of man in the games industry who fancies himself progressive and an ally and, imo, IS well intentioned who can't help but provide feedback to women without an insulting tone and I think more men need to get accustomed to being uncomfortable so we can tackle that.

ok i really don't want to be engaging with gamers on here but the issue is actually not just 'they took a game about a bombed city and compared it to hiroshima' the issue is they compared the suffering of a FICTIONAL. WHITE. CHARACTER. and compared it to real japanese people. oh my god lmaoo

I kinda hate pepe emojis and really hate how common they are in gaming discords and slacks

so far I have a slight caffeine headache but unfortunately my stomach has never felt better this SUCKS

really wished i had bookmarked that post someone made a while ago of "i don't know how to tell y'all that some of you who think are funny are actually just kind of mean" because i think about it at least once a day at this point

happy Steam Next Fest! here's a feed I made of people posting links to Steam demos, if you want to keep up

going without coffee today. pray for me

got so deep into a youtube rabbit hole watching people who live in antarctica I successfully forgot the SotU was happening

this needs to appear in a pop-up that fills the entire screen anytime anyone on this app tries to reply to someone from the discover feed

So anyway, I hope during GDC week in March you participate in #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! It's been a tough year, and we deserve some joy and a bright spark for our industry. Also, to make it easier, we have a feed on Bluesky! bsky.app/profile/drjc...

there are some people here I genuinely did not know follow me lol hi everyone

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

I had sorta forgotten about the Mutuals feed, it's really one of the best out there

having my once-every-few-years realization that coffee makes my tummy upset and I should probably stop drinking it. we'll see if it sticks this time

god this song is so good, it’s been floating around in my head all day I can’t get enough

obsessed with this new band from my favorite songwriter/vocalist (Sucre), my favorite drummer (Darren King), and an amazing cellist (Chelsea McGough). giving me light sigur ros vibes

this is WILD

I know I’m getting way ahead of myself putting a pax east thing in my display name but I’m too excited to see people okay

I meant to cut my hair ages ago but I’m starting to think I’ve stumbled into Good hair

why is nobody on bluesky talking about the guy who just tried to burn down mar-a-lago

Happy 40th to Legend of Zelda 🗡️

the mario party party in front of a live audience is maybe the best piece of video game content ever put on the internet. no one in this business will ever top that

periodic ask: what are the international game dev conferences we should all be going to? I’m ready to rally around a non-US one asap

therapy through programming today

lmao

thank you live camera feeds of sunny places for getting me through the morning 🙏🙏

there is truly nothing worse in this world then your kid being sick. ☹️

🎲🗡️🏹🌳⏲️ most excited I’ve been about a side project in my life

still reposting past drunk jason posts cause he was onto something

would love to see the vibes at the combination North Korea / South Korea / Japan school

hey, body? human body, that I have? just because you hear about someone being sick doesn’t mean you need to immediately start feeling all of the same symptoms. there’s no reason for that. please stop

feeling extra sad about AI today. if other people want to use it and destroy our planet, fine, I hate it but do your shitty thing. but the constant pressure on *me* to use it? by my peers and my industry?? leave me the fuck alone

writing a .bat script feels like writing in a foreign language with my left hand

imagine not having an upset tummy

man, current tipsy jason thinks past drunk jason was onto something here

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

this is the huuuge difference between Rise of Skywalker and the prequels. the prequels were unwatchably bad, but they retained enough of the intrigue of the star wars universe that people still enjoyed digging into that era. I do NOT care about the world of the sequels

idk what it says about me that I'm way more likely to get angry at an arthouse movie that's up its own ass too much vs a badly made mainstream movie but George Washington

I'm weirdly sort of grateful I was burnt out so hard by college. I hit my "I can never do this again" moment before my career even started lol

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

if you're a man and you've witnessed anything like this, and have *not* stepped in in that moment, it's past time to interrogate why that is. * do you not want to make things awkward? (I've been guilty of this. make things awkward.)

"name and shame them" so yeah the number of times I've seen multiple women come together with binders of evidence about a single man and essentially nothing happened to him kiiiinda discourages that approach

I'm actually struggling to think of a single AAA franchise with a theme written in the last 20ish years that I can recall. outside of Nintendo at least. I remember the main theme in Spider-Man coming up a *lot*, but right now I can't bring it to mind 😩

okay well, not as awful as I thought I'd be but I suspect this game is being nice to me dialed.gg

have there been any studies that have shown the difference (if any) in popularity of using AI vs consuming AI made by others? I suspect it's a *huge* gap.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

drove the car to pick up lunch today, came back, and as I took my foot off the brake, I stared at the gas pedal for like 10 seconds wondering “what the hell is that thing” so yeah sleep with a 5-month-old is going great

have you been enjoying the blue wave bots that find the most surgically irritating ways to reply to every post on the timeline? good news! the new atproto site makes it easier than ever
