90% of bluesky posts, to me

I’m going to change my pfp for the first time in my career in the next few days. I know it’ll be jarring to see me as a 3D woman but we’ll all get through this together

against my better instincts I watched Love Actually

Christmas was cancelled in my house so what did yall get as gifts. let me live vicariously

the Hitman DLC featuring Eminem introduces The Mirror Dimension into Hitman canon. and I've just been thinking about that a lot.

when is it a good time to admit that I’ve never seen Love Actually

If you're having trouble watching other versions, here's an Internet Archive link for the 60 Minutes CECOT segment suppressed by Bari Weiss in the U.S.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

it’s not the holiday season until I nearly get annihilated by a distracted driver in a parking lot. and today when that raised jeep came within an inch of my corporeal form, I finally truly felt the Christmas Spirit

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Speaking of The Knightling... We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

GDC talk on the professional importance of keeping it in the group chat

I submitted a piece for this about how your first twine game should be small and preferably also insane. I consider myself an expert in that field

probably a throughline in a place that’s wasted literally thousands of people’s hours on unpaid writing tests and other forms of failing to understand labor. who could say

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.

Larian's CEO says they "don't see it as a replacement for developers". How?? If you're using AI to generate ANY artwork, even internally, that's replacing human labour. You can't claim to not be replacing anyone when you're using a tool that's literally doing the work of an artist. Gross.

I’ll never understand the placeholder text argument for AI. if you need AI to write “uhhh some line about a fucking clue or something” then you don’t deserve any of those braincells rattling around in your brain. and before you know it they’ll be dying off anyway

we are tapping the sign once again

it's irritating to me that there's so much funding going into stupid shit like AI when google chrome can't even consistently keep dark mode on

“Oh you should be online to try to provide value to your political side” fuck that that’s nerd shit you should be online because you’re unwell and need to tell people about weird animals you saw

the vibe this Monday morning is “adhd task paralysis waiting mode”

I was Chosen ™️

If devs/publishers genuinely believed AI was 'the future of game design', they wouldn't cry so hard about having to disclose use of it on their steam pages.

trying to piece together the Miss Piggy/Geoff storyline from vague posts on the timeline and I do not like the picture it’s painting

girls make games is a great org and tbh with all the work they've done over the last 10+ years this is super well deserved. i love these girls, i love that they're on stage, and this would've been huge for me to see when i was little www.girlsmakegames.com

remedy if you need someone to unleash their freak for that control 2 i am ready

the quintessential LA experience is not watching The Game Awards but rather reading all the posts about it while sitting in an LAX parking garage while you wait for someone’s flight to land

SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT🥳🥳🥳🥳

if I end up tuning into TGAs it’s because I have friends’ studio trailer premiering. for me it feels fine to show up for that. but also like when your trailer premieres can you message me in case I’m not looking

So proud 💜 Don't miss our debut title, I Write Games Not Tragedies, I'm still crashing out over the ending store.steampowered.com/app/3396670/...

oh hey da walls are closing in boss. youse asked me to tell ya if da walls start closing in, like.

working on my portfolio

spent so long in one spot in LA traffic that I earnestly thought “I wish I smoked cigarettes” and I think I really truly finally understand David Lynch

someone who beat me in bullet chess started harassing me in the chess dot com dms (?!) so I had to hit him with the "I hope that someday you can sort out the emptiness you feel in your heart" and he's been real quiet ever since

me: *asks a twin peaks question*

don't know if I'm more unsettled by the fact discord knows how many messages I've sent over the course of the year or the fact that I'm in the top 0.5% of discord message senders

I cancelled my Spotify premium in about Aprilish but I can absolutely tell you without a doubt that my top song this year was Rocky Road to Dublin from the Sinners soundtrack

well fuck

so what if my two 5 star movies this year are Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man. you think that makes me some kind of freak with religious trauma? you’d be right

not to start Pluribus discourse on main but I feel like people who think Carol is mean and the worst probably also think they’d be like The Perfect Person in this scenario. do you think you’d be all sunshine and rainbows when the hive mind arrives ?? bc I sure wouldn’t be
