Please, Amish is an ugly and outdated term. It's preferable to say "un-smart-housed."

I once wrote a comedy called "Dr Doolittle at the World Council of Animals." Near the end (spoilers) Dr Doolittle reveals he had an affair w/the wife of Mr Sheep. One anonymous feedback read: "Bestiality is NEVER funny under ANY circumstances." This reply reminded me of that, for some reason.

I see you, engineers using PEMDAS instead of parentheses, and I will not be part of your dick measuring competition.

HOLY CRAP. I just found out there is a Highlander anime directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll)

When you think you need to be perfect, remember that Batman: Arkham Knight said "close enough is enough."

A terrific thread on animating in games. The comments are kinda a who's who of modern indie game animation folk.

Going to GDC this year? Me too! Here's some GDC panels I have marked as "can't miss" for Mon/Tues:

When you rewind 5 seconds on the Apple TV interface (the web interface anyway) it automatically turns on closed captions for the next couple lines. WHY ISN'T EVERYONE DOING THIS

In this house, we do not git-blame. We git-forgive.

My activation phrase is "Snorkel Parka Music Practice Room"

Bruce Campbell announces he has a type of cancer that's "treatable" not "curable"

Want to take a second to shout out a thank you to every technician or expert who takes a second to write down their process. (goes back to reading documentation)

Cards Against Humanity once again acting more "for humanity" than a lot of companies.

This is what the Internet was intended for: someone getting too emotionally invested in the specifics of horse evolution: www.instagram.com/reel/DSBXlFE...

Is it true the Democrats are actually arguing with him during the state of the Union?

I can't imagine how scary it is for billionaires right now. California moving towards a wealth tax, and the escape to New York suddenly cut off by the friendly but firm face of Zohran Mamdani.

Was talking about Vince Gilligan's work the day, and realized if you frame Breaking Bad as a very gradual horror movie, Jessie Pinkman is the Final Girl.

When you are stuck at a stoplight in front of your destination, you should be allowed to get out right there and send your car home with a Fulton recovery device like from Phantom Pain.

Everybody talks about how weird cybertrucks look from the side. Nobody mentions that, in your rearview mirror, it looks like you're being chased by an angry spatula.

Really fantastic breakdown of how (not) to interpret feedback from social media, with great examples and references.

stop. betting. your. future. on. autocomplete.

@zerotrickpony.com Just finished playing IntelligenceGame - and it was great! Really enjoyed your work. :)

I propose we treat every claim that "AI will replace everything by (very soon)" the same as everyone who keeps saying Jesus is coming back tomorrow. If I don't see you selling off stuff to prepare for the Rapidly Approaching Utopia, I don't believe you.

My friend @dragonglitch.bsky.social released Mercenary Leto, the coziest space mercenary game in existence. There's a very strong story, and it has a lot to do with cuddly space dragons, and I will leave you to discover the rest. ♥️ store.steampowered.com/news/app/893...

how come everyone wants to legislate all the mean stuff in the Bible but they never want to legislate the "take care of the poor" and "rich men go fock yourselves" bits of the Bible?

that moment when I was trying to stream an After Effects tutorial for a department of video producers and I realized Microsoft Teams was blocking all the After Effects shortcut keys and after 12 years of animating I had no idea how to find any-goddamn-thing in the menus

Someone wrote "are metroidvanias just a cheat to making a game fun" my guy if you have a cheat to making a game fun, you just "know how to make a game fun." I will pull whatever "up up down down", "my dad works at Nintendo" BS I have to

Dear me from 2010, You don't know it yet, but in about sixteen years, you will spend a significant amount of time interacting with AI. Specifically, searching how to disable it after every update on every device you own.

Edmund McMillen in full marketing mode is a delight. I will brook no argument.

I saw someone say "KID ROCK is just slang for Epstein's island" and I'll never be able to think of it another way again.

Perfect Muppet Show guests: Richard Ayoade Pedro Pascal Taylor Swift Glen Powell Olivia Colman Amy Poehler Jemaine Clement (someone else is supposed to be musical guest, and Flight of the Conchords has to fill in)

I hate not to "yes and" a bit, but are we really calling Blusky posts "skeets"? Does that mean threads are going to be called "skeetskeetskeets"? I'm going to need to get goggles.

Every AI advocate is Syndrome from The Incredibles.

If code is basically thought patterns written out, then refactoring bad code is basically playing Psychonauts.

The other day, someone in the gamedev discourse said (paraphrasing) "I know a lot of programmers who have made games. I don't know any games made by project managers." Snarky, but it's a good excuse. Let's talk about great project managers. (AKA great producers)

Call me crazy, but I think the Democrat platform for the midterms needs to be: "Daddy's home." No more of this "let me be clear, uh, um" 1990s Hugh Grant energy. Straight to the point: "The President has committed crimes, and he will see justice, as will every underling who empowered him."

California, your turn.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

I started my day asking a Post Office employee if they had an envelope. How you doing?

I was driving all today and didn't see that Catherine O'Hara passed. She was a powerhouse of a comedian, and she left a permanent mark on the culture in the best way possible.

@mattfnwallace.bsky.social Permission to come aboard, sir.

"Sell out your profession before someone else does!" Call me crazy, but if someone offered me 300k a year for five years, with the promise of eradicating my career field, I would not take it. I would rather be unemployed now than unemployed later and a traitor.

Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts -- -- hang on what's there

“At its best, America serves as a haven of individual liberties in a world too often full of tyranny and cruelty. We abandon that ideal when we subject our neighbors to fear and chaos. The court expects this Order will be complied with in all respects.”

Hi. I've never donated to a political candidate so fast. This is the message I want to support.
