Show me a cool physical game

Rough day for a bunch of my friends at Bungie. Wishing you all well, please reach out if there's anything I can do to help ♥️

Got around to updating my demo reel. Definitely overdue - the last one I put together was four years ago! I've worked on two more expansions since then, plus other stuff. (I'm working on something else these days; I look forward to sharing that work too in the future.) vimeo.com/1199631789

Today my partner held up two jars and said the word "binks!" He stood there grinning ear to ear until the joke abruptly dawned on me. Get yourself someone who can absolutely demolish you out of nowhere with a visual Phantom Menace pun.

From a lovely photo meet @victoriascott.bsky.social organized! The highlight of the evening was meeting lots of cool people, but I did got a few shots with my 4-year-old iPod 😄

I don't know how to celebrate pride for @trangirlismo.bsky.social considering we are basically always us, but I am just going to say: I'm extremely proud of the show @victoriascott.bsky.social and I are making, and I think we make one of the most honest podcasts in the automotive sphere

Another podcast I've gotten really into is Be Gay Solve Crimes - a show that discusses detective movies (and sometimes detective games) from a trans perspective. A refreshing break from the increasingly "Be Crimes, Solve Gay" world I currently live in 🤡

1) I abandoned Google's search engine forever-ago 2) The way I know I've accidentally opened the wrong browser and done a Google search is that there's a confident-but-incorrect answer above all the links 3) Getting rid of the links and keeping the incorrect answer doesn't sound "convenient"

Sad to hear that my old friend Limmie Pulliam passed away this week. Not only was he an incredible singer, but a nice and often very funny guy. He also had an incredible ear and talent for mimicry, which could make his jokes especially silly or biting.

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

I wrote a short piece about Juniper's memory and the duty all of us have in her passing to build a world where this can't happen anymore. [free to read/no paywall] www.patreon.com/posts/158697...

Submitted a comment on this today. Well worth speaking up. The trans community does not deserve to be treated like this. (And neither do all the groups who will inevitably be next.)

(Thank you for listening, subconscious. "Scout from TF2 has a terrible singing voice and nobody shows up to his concert" I can handle.)

Listen, subconscious: while the "friends being laid off" dreams are an improvement on the "friends dying" dreams, they still ain't doing me any favors. Could we just go back to "having difficulty reading this menu" for a bit, please?

You'll need to excuse my complete lack of a singing voice - I wanted to make a parody song for @trangirlismo.bsky.social and no power on Earth could stop me.

Chat, is it bad if your therapist has to remind you that "we didn't start a nuclear war after all" can't really be characterized as "a good thing about this week"?

Naoki is a friend and former colleague of mine! Reposting this to spread the word. www.gofundme.com/f/help-nolla...

if you're here, let me plug my gofundme gofund.me/571b433ba let me also plug my twitter bot that rules @esnupi.me

folks, it's bad when the plane does that

I listened to the first episode of this and it is every bit as spectacular as the name would suggest

A cool thing my sibling did! 🏳️‍⚧️

Life be like 😭

I continue to be glad that I have my senators on speed-dial. Actually reached a human being today instead of a voicemail. Was told they're getting a lot of calls supporting trans rights. Glad to hear it. ✨Let's give them some more calls.✨

The decision to put my senators' DC office numbers on speed dial continues to pay off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (Erin's post includes links to articles with more information.)

A thing I worked on this year that I can actually show off 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef3W...

Long ago, at a company that no longer exists, I heard someone say our games needed to get better at "driving the compulsion loop." And, I mean, no disrespect toward that person - our studio was struggling to survive at that point. But I did think to myself: "Wow. Is that what we want?" 😐

Real talk: I got my start in the game industry working on little handheld movie tie-ins! They can absolutely be good games if 1) the dev team has the skill/resources/motivation make them good and 2) the client/managers grant that team the time/budget/leeway to make the game good.

Calling my credit card company to ask why they're destabilizing the industry I work in (and thus threatening the cash flow that funds every transaction I make with them) was not on my bucket list, but here we are. We had a long, polite, cordial chat. I plan to have more.

I hope the author gets a chance to visit Greece, NY someday. You know, to see the Parthenon.

I'm several months late to the "four games I've worked on" party, but I'm doing it anyway! 🎮

Immediately thought of you, @paxthewerewolf.bsky.social 😄

(If you think my posting here is sporadic, you should see how often I posted on FB post-2006 😃)

A queer dev who worked on one of my favorite indie games (while homeless, I later learned in an interview??) is trying to flee to safety. Happily donating some of my Pride month mutual aid budget. If you're able to chip in too, that would be lovely. Even small amounts help. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

I would like to live in a society where geeking out about stuff like this is my greatest concern. I am willing to fight for a society where geeking out about stuff like this is anyone's greatest concern. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNeA...

I was not expecting to be spellbound by an hour-long documentary about this creepy photo I've seen all over the internet for years. I also was not expecting the origin of that photo to tangentially involve my home town. 😮

The FDA is taking away your access to the Covid-19 vaccines your tax dollars paid to develop unless you're over 65 or at high risk. Speak up here. The public comment period for this move ends soon: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Hello! 📣 We're working on an adventure game called Phonopolis where every single texture is hand-painted on a piece of cardboard, and even particle effects like flames and smoke are hand-painted frame by frame. Please wishlist on Steam if you like:)

This but in real life, please, thank you

Not me somehow misremembering that the deadline was April 17th, realizing my mistake this morning, and then racing to do this in 2 hours before work instead of working on it methodically over the weekend like I'd planned 😅

Somewhat heartened that the local protest I attended the other day (figuring it would be tiny and need more people) turned out to be a sprawling sea of humanity.

How does this song slap so hard? How am I bopping my head to a primer on properly assigning tenses to subjunctive verbs in Latin? www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ7y...

Please add this to your activism list: Submit a public comment from the link below to tell the HHS that gender affirming healthcare is evidence-based and lifesaving care. This new policy will effectively BAN HRT as it will no longer be allowed to be an "Essential Health Benefit" 1/3

It was challenging to find a calm way of saying, "Hey, don't set the building you live in on fire because you don't like the people in apartment 12J. (Also, hi - my friends and family live in 12J, what the hell?)" Worth it, whether it makes a difference or not.

I will eventually, like... watch people and post stuff. Just getting this account created for now, amidst the flurry of other stuff I need to do.

Fleeing yet another social media platform that's decided to treat LGBTQ folks as a punching bag, hoping that this social media platform will be marginally better for the next couple years at least. (Wheee, moderated expectations! 🤪)
