had an amazing time at GDC and I met so many people that I will remember forever! and familiar faces that keep me going. it’s a tough week as an introvert and my brain is still trying to process it all, but it already feels like the highlight of the year.

“today’s ruling allows the government to remove those individuals and others to any country that will take them—without providing any additional process beyond an initial removal hearing, and without regard to the treatment they may face in those countries” this is basically human trafficking!

We may be new to bsky, but we're not new to gamedev. Anyone interested in a souls-like inspired by Redwall with a 3DS-era aesthetic?

I didn’t watch the election results last night. I deleted all my news apps. Didn’t plan on checking until Thursday. I guess somewhere in my heart I already knew, at least with Georgia. But I was spoiled this afternoon by an email from my fav local burrito chain’s mass email: “A Glorious Return”.
