some folks experiencing their first mariners moment tonight. its ok friends 🤍 this is what it's been like all my life. that's the seattle experience

We should have realized we were living in a failing empire as soon as the fast food places stopped automatically including ketchup when you order fries.

The thing about me is that you can give me money and then you'll end up with some cool music for your project www.megancarnesmusic.com

Taking things to the next level by insisting everyone refer to cornfield mazes as "metroidgrainias"

Need to add PVP

My niece gave me this hat just in time for this game.

Earlier I was thinking that the folks in inflatables were really well equipped for this. Baymax style defense, soft, non-threatening exterior makes militarized opposition seem overwrought. Meanwhile you can totally wear body armor, helmet, and a gas mask inside there and tank the hits.

hire Laura if you want one of the best

It’s worth remembering that for most social media networks, including this one: you are not the customer, you are the product. The customers of Bluesky right now are investors, and they don’t like revolutionary politics. Still a clown show. Pay some damn comms pros.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

Some catharsis in knowing you are not alone, but given the games industry had another record breaking year, it’s more apparent than ever that our organizations should have a fiduciary obligation to the workers over shareholders.

I don’t know a lot about high ranking military commanders, but my general impression (no pun intended) is they do not like having their time wasted.

House of Nanking was literally just down the street from where I worked in SF, and we’d go for lunch and let Peter Kang choose our menu. For a white boy who grew up in the Dakotas, it was a transformative culinary experience and a core memory.

🎶 Take a look, it's in a book 🎶 🥹 After nearly 20 years... Reading Rainbow is returning to motivate, help, and encourage kids to become avid readers with new episodes, new friends, new projects, and of course... new books! Make sure to follow the rainbow 📚🌈 #FollowTheRainbow

I wonder how much of the rise of LLMs and the AI boom is just the confidence of the generated response. Ask an expert to synthesize a large nebulous body of information and they might caveat “it’s complicated” but your ‘AI’ of choice makes it seem simple and clear, even when it’s completely wrong.

anyone found his chatGPT logs yet?

You know what. Fuck it. Mammoth Hog poster

Gonna have to get the new AirPods just so I can understand what the kids mean by “Ohio”

Anyway nothing else is important right now other than the fact that it's Dreamcast Day.

You betcha

I guess I gotta beat hollow knight.

I can’t be the only one reading this as the devs screaming, right?

Another dumpster fire of a day in the games industry, multiple studios where my friends landed laying folks off.

Though it's a big month for movies, I'd wager that the films showing at Seattle’s indie theaters in September make the city one of the best place to see movies in the country. Thus, I tagged in again @seattletimes.com to make some recommendations. Quick thread 📽️ www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

🟥GAMES JOBS - RTs super appreciated because we don't really have a bsky presence yet!🟥 Batterystaple's working on an unannounced 2D multiplayer variety/chaos/yell-at-your-friends game, and we're looking to hire a few talented artists to bring the game's energy to life. Info & app link below!

A thing game studio hiring departments love to do is tell you “we don’t want to waste your time” and then proceed to waste your time in ways previously thought impossible

There’s a lot here, but I am fascinated by the aesthetics of the camouflage with high visibility vests over them. They need to be seen as soldiers to project the power of the state, and they also need to be *seen*.

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲

I mean you guys remember that Blizzard is a Microsoft company now, right?

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

highly recommend you do something nice for someone else tomorrow and see how it goes

due on the 5th!

Years ago when I was playing a lot of Mobile Frame Zero (a really great tabletop skirmish game that uses Lego for units and scenery), I designed a bunch of mecha for it. Put the instructions all in one folder for anyone who wanted to build them too: photos.app.goo.gl/udWQvaWVBMwv...

Writing government policy.

I know the US games industry has collapsed but LinkedIn, do you have to twist the knife?

“AI as the processed food of information” is pretty good.

This was probably what got our studio shut down; they certainly didn’t have an any real data.

Pre-mortems? How about developer tarot readings instead That rewrite you’re planning? Ooh buddy, looks like we drew the Death card, ouch, hmmm that’s not a good sign at all. Bad omen for sure.
