If I could give my younger self, or anyone else, only one piece of career advice for the 21st century, it would be”Don’t make anything. Don’t move anything. They’re both suckers’ bets.”

If you are in the mood for a... movie, go see Disclosure Day. There's moving pictures and sound and actors and the odd "moment" with swelling music. If you are in the for an *interesting* movie, hope for a sequel. If you are in the mood for a *good* movie, look elsewhere. This is not for you.

Welcome to the new wilderness years.

I really wish I were more financially secure. I have an urge to offer my dev and editorial services pro bono to projects that are valuable to the community. Alas…

Tell Me Why is spectacular - easily one of the best adventure games I have ever experienced, and I'll bet one of the best you'll play as well. It's entirely free right now on Steam! Honestly, cannot recommend this one highly enough.

Designing a game is like reinventing the wheel with 3 random objects chucked at your head by your childhood bully. When you're done you're pretty sure you've made cottage cheese. Manufacturing and delivering a game is the same that except you're on a tightrope in a tornado and blind the whole time.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

And now I shall assume the position.

Confirmed - both that the folder / files exist, and that you can get rid of them with the recommended change. More info in the comments.

The rumors of my demise are only slightly exaggerated.

I don't use TikTok, but my girlfriend does and she often sends me stuff like this. Thought I'd share, as this is essentially how my brain has operated my entire life. It's also why I view typicals with such... hesitation. Yeah, let's run with that.

All of this. #AmericanFoundationsAct

I think if I could live in a hermetically sealed bubble somehow magically free of dust, sweat, all forms of contagion or irritant, people, and any other debris of life, I would jump at the chance. I might climb into a catapult at the chance, actually.

Boosting this signal because this is a product that needs to get made. Best of luck to Katina and her crew in their final week of funding! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hoo...

Congrats to Heather O'Neill and all the other new board members at GAMA! boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

The next step, of course, is folks and / or services that figure out how to game this by putting the least possible amount of effort into a shit site that is *improved* by Google.

I cannot envision a future where this goes well.

Who had "Ghostwritten by Taylor Sheridan" on their Lanterns bingo card? Anyone?

I guess this is the new trend - unlikely badass heroines. I hope they don't burn out the concept. It would be cool if the formula stuck around for a while.

Against all odds, this looks pretty good. B&W: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgMb... True Hue Color: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Bl...

My latest freelance project hit Gamefound today, and it's an amazing achievement by Fantasia Games! Stan Kordonskiy's Rurik is back with 2 expansions, top shelf goodies, and pledge tiers that are an outright *steal*. This one's well worth a look, folks. For Glory! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Movie promotion of the year. Maybe the decade.

AB Con 2025. The team crushed it, from the looks of it. No surprise. Game on!

Fair play, internet. I forgot about Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. So it' s a tie for my most anticipated Q1 flick. I do have to ask, though. What does it say that both of them feature Zazie Beetz? Hm...

A reminder for all my Cali peeps that you can sign up for DROP to get at least some of your data removed from some of the brokers out there. There's a backlog until August, but it's worth getting in the queue now, if you haven't already.

Well hey there, new movie obsession. It's great to meet you.

So we’re just straight up pirates now?

Vaguepost observation about the Stranger Things finale... That scene where Holly and her friends push past Mike into the basement is, I think, my favorite moment in the entire series.

Morgan Stanley: 2026 is “The Year of Risk Reboot” as market focus shifts from macro anxieties to micro fundamentals. Policy backdrop is unusually supportive: fiscal stimulus, continued monetary easing, and deregulation form what analysts call a “policy triumvirate” rarely seen outside recessions.

Plur1bus is my favorite new show this year. If you're not already watching, you're really missing out. It's amazeballs.

Yeah, fucking no. My brief foray into video game design was not with a AAA company, but it still felt a little like this - and some of my tabletop experiences were similar as well. There's a reason I work for myself now, and why I'm largely unemployable these days except as a freelancer.

You can rarely tell whether a movie is going to be any good from a trailer. That's why you should treat trailers as a separate art form and appreciate them on their own merits, separate of movies. This is a very good trailer.

This is one of the most intriguing RPGs I've seen in years. Bravo, @xanderrific.bsky.social! I really hope this gets a full release, so I can pimp it far and wide.

Escape room gaming for the holiday.

You have *got* to be kidding me. The single best scene in all of Season 2 was left on the cutting room floor?!? I mean, it's understandable given the disastrous trainwreck they ran with for the season wrap, but still - what could have been... (Robot Revolution, Scene 43 - video's cued up)

Absolutely wild. Also wildly awesome.

Working on Stargate was a career highlight for me. It's one of the most easily gamified IPs out there (zat guns aside), and I was so proud to power a tabletop RPG for it with our Spycraft ruleset. With so many of the OG creatives in the mix, I'm really hopeful about this new show. Bring it on!

thehill.com/homenews/adm... Can't even keep the narrative consistent within the hour, and the base will still accept it as truth. Rome. Must. Fall.

YAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!!!

A good trailer gets you excited about the thing and maybe tells you just enough about it to spark that engine of wonder that'll drive you to release day. A *great* trailer does all that and forgives three years of waiting and endless weeks of teasing.

Gods, if I never work with Illustrator again, it will be too damn soon.

Another year, another spectacular light show from Magical Light Shows.

Instafollow! And "instabuy" should this version ever somehow find its way out as some form of freebie with a donate box. www.instagram.com/reel/DPM59BF...

Want a guaranteed SDCC badge? How much ya willin' to pony up for it? $500? A grand? Think higher. Much, *much* higher. 115455a.blackbaudhosting.com/115455a/Annu...

Fountain of Youth: They paid Stanley Tucci to walk 30 ft.

There are so many buttons I would push without consideration. One of them is the button that sacrifices 4 hours of every single day of my life in exchange for 12 hours of good, guaranteed sleep every day. Heart. Beat.

Every single bit of this day, and every contributor, sponsor, celebrant, and unintended benefactor of it, can immediately and forevermore fuck off and die. That is all.

Many will celebrate this, and rightly so. But... AI spending is the largest chunk of U.S. GDP right now (consumer spending fell to #2 this year). Enough companies back off AI and the economy craters. Big D Depression, with no fix in sight and hostile, unskilled criminals at the helm.

AB Con 2025's campaign will soon be heading into its Final 48. Let's give it a great big sendoff, shall we? www.kickstarter.com/projects/olu...
