One of the stranger lore bits of my life is that for a time my house on Treasure Island was the de facto hub for the Something Awful goons of the SF Bay Area.

Finally got around to watching the What We Do In The Shadows tv show and is Mark Hamill's Jim the Vampire dressed as Symphony of the Night Dracula???

Wanted to help this escape Reddit containment: Farscape is popular in prisons (and in my house.)

With The Ivalice Chronicles releasing today it remains my dream to be able to use the phrase Surrender or die in obscurity in a workplace context without being fired someday.

Heidi is a wonderful person who has endured the unspeakable over the last few years. Please donate and/or spread this around as you’re able, and let’s help our colleague.

When you really think about it, the Borderlands series is just Zardoz.

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Because of work slack I have now discovered to my disappointment that the Air Bud franchise has gone to space, battled warlocks, and saved Christmas before ever attempting a skateboarding movie.

I've been quietly joining their playtests and it's been pretty fun playing what is essentially Battle Royale Diablo but also the team behind it is pretty stacked with some great industry vets.

Time to break out the chart

There's also the fact that they want to hide the evidence of their responsibility for his death. Charlie Kirk was recently blackballed from MAGA for calling for the release of the Epstein files. Nick Fuentes was fuming, and Laura Loomer pretty much sicced her followers on him last week:

Happy Orange Skies Day to all the Bay Area folks who remember how surreal it was to be under a layer of ash that was held in suspension in the clouds. abc7news.com/post/today-h...

Since it's Star Trek day, a reminder I am a massive massive Trekkie and used to hang out in the officlal Star Trek AOL chat room as a kid.

According to POTUS this city is a woke hellhole full of lawlessness. Look at all these San Francisco ne're do wells sitting on the grass listening to opera on a sunday for free, don't they understand how capitalism works??

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

In the middle of all the PAX West recovery I wanted to congratulate my dear friends at Tea Witch for releasing Rogue Labyrinth! If you love SNES style graphics and Hades-likes that are about anti capitalism try it out! But also Captain is in it and adorable.

How it feels when all your friends head home after a long weekend together.

We are all this Starfish.

Last day of PAX West is always the saddest. If we haven't hugged or bumped fists, lets do it!

Other than the extremely haunted history of this Airbnb at Pioneer Square, it's been a pretty decent place.

Helping out @savagesparrow.bsky.social til 3pm today at #paxwest. Come say hi

Behold, two of the last SF Natives in games. So good to finally meet @eleniexp.bsky.social in person and find out we almost crossed paths a zillion times across the years in games.

I love that so many of the baguette outfits walking around PAX West are using real bread.

Weird features of my haunted airbnb, there is a peeping window from the bedroom into the living room.

Telling your friends there is a creepy doll in the haunted bar below your equally haunted airbnb results in suggestions of stealing the creepy doll at some point.

@mikeducarmesucks.com @nerdy-mike.bsky.social and @themikerobles.bsky.social made me an honorary Mike.

Welp my plane broke on the runway so we're totally off to a good start here.

How am I expected to work when this thing demands head scritches all day?

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Told my friend I was going to see Weird Al last night and he thought I was going to an AI exhibition about weird products and long story short I need to move into the forest and never look back.

CEOs at AAA studios should be paid based on how many JIRAs they have to close out.

Literally half my RL friendships started out this way

Look, you can’t post a picture of a goddess and claim it’s non religious. 😤

I'll be part of @profrobot.bsky.social's panel on cool jobs for low coders during #paxwest. If you want to find us, we're 30 minutes after the Expedition 33 panel on Saturday and two floors down on the beer garden level.

Trump just vowed to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines, citing debunked lies about voter fraud. Anyone that wants to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

After 10 years being out of print my favorite co-op board game is finally getting a 2nd edition. If you never played, you're camp counselors escaping a slasher in a parody of 1970s slasher films and it can get silly or stressful pretty quick. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

Now to power a Zune or a portable CD player

I put the Thermaltake cigarette lighter/cupholder back in my PC case because I need more mid 2000s PC LAN Party energy in my life. I don't smoke but the added danger makes me feel alive.

My advice to newer creators is *actually* be yourself. Be mindful and have fun with what YOU want to have fun with. Do no harm, take no shit. It might be less celebrated and socialization might be quieter, but the right people will find you in both supporters and friends.

CW: Disabilities, brain damage. My Neurologist confirmed that all the weird unpredictable times I was short circuiting are most likely micro seizure so bad news I now have to worry about seizures. Good news, I now what it is, refuse to be stopped and I will continue to be a problem.

As some of you already know, my little brother has a rare cancer. Less than 200 people are recorded having it since the 70's. In just a month, it's progressed to stage 3. He's only 20. It's been SO hard. If my game dev advice was ever useful to you, please consider: www.mealtrain.com/trains/y5z8yy

Playing MMOs before social media was weird because you would spend hundreds of hours with people on your friends list and never really know who they were. Maybe you got an AIM name or an email or even met IRL but just as often all you knew of your friends was their handle and region and that was it.

Every time I see someone complaining/confused about Gen Z and Gen Alpha memes and weirdness this starts looping in my brain.

I am back on the job hunt. Please let me know if you are looking for: Events Management Content Strategy Scouting / Biz Dev Producer for Live or Taped Segments Someone to talk about indie games for hours Please let me know and please share with others. Contact cthuloops at gmail.com. Thank you!

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

So many folks are looking for work and getting rejected, being reduced down to what qualities exist on a piece of paper. I'd like to counteract some of that, so share what makes you #MoreThanAResume I'm a musician, poet, and cook. I also love improv. RT w a pic for reach, let's start a trend.
