NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

True

Don't think I posted about it formally, but I moved to Vancouver, BC in Canada recently. I now live full time with my husband and cat in a beautiful city that I love. Glad to not have borders between us anymore! :D

Amazing vibes and views today in Squamish, BC

it's my birthday today so everyone has to be nice to me

Been quiet on work for ages BUT big news! I wrote the chapter The Future of Game Accessibility is Grounded in Ethics for a brilliant book providing a framework for ethical accessibility Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech is out May 6th #DigitalAccessibilityEthics

Thank you for explaining my joke for me, it’s always funnier when someone does that

Rolled credits on Resident Evil Requiem last night - very good game! Highly recommend

The forced RTO after tons of GOTY/record breaking revenue games came out during 100% remote work conditions is just so transparent and awful. Making people uproot their lives to sit on the computer somewhere else is madness.

@dark1x.bsky.social Hey dude, wanted to say I really appreciate your work. I always love the thoughtfully delivered insight on gameplay and sound, which aren't usually mentioned on the channel. And the retro stuff is very appealing, I love older arcade games and have a MiSTer. Keep it up pal!

@keits.bsky.social found this while downsizing, think I'll keep it

Hey all I'm looking for work! I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

ten years ago today no one clapped

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Video games are good

I enjoyed Silksong so much that I went back and completed Hollow Knight for real. Had done around 90% of it many years ago, and it was the right time to finish out the rest. The DLC content was excellent!

obsessed with the antifascist frogs in Portland, I hope they continue to multiply 🙏

Finished up Silksong with 100% completion last night. I had some initial frustrations, but ultimately found that engaging with the game on its own terms was deeply rewarding. Such a great experience I'll not soon forget!

Picked up Hollow Knight: Silksong over the weekend and it rules so hard. Thoroughly enjoying my time!

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

now

word to your mother - i hope she is in great health

No matter your politics you should be able to agree that legislation named "The One Big Beautiful Bill" is stupid and disgraceful. There should be a level of decorum expected from public servants, they should be expected to Speak Normally. Saying weird stuff constantly is just the standard now.

Zohran Mamdani stuns political consultants with revolutionary campaign strategies like telling people “I want to make your lives better” and pointing out “the other guy is an evil pervert.”

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad

Seeing creatives get caught up in the AI BS is disheartening in a way I've never experienced in the industry. Real "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" moment. You were supposed to be better, to care about the craft & actually making things. Let alone the stupidity of pursuing self-obsolescence.

this was 100% planned

Elden Ring Nightreign just keeps delivering those amazing highs. Sometimes you get a win on a nightlord you've already beaten, and it feels like your first win (and all of the emotional highs of a first win) because of the context of multiplayer.

Elden Ring Nightreign has delivered some of the best gaming in my life. When it hits, it HITS. It's perfect for me since I love Elden Ring, co-op, and roguelikes. I keep trying new Nightfarers and finding a whole new way to enjoy the game. I'm so happy y'all.

it's journalistically irresponsible to have sane-washed this as "the anti-vaccine movement" or whatever in the past decades. a "movement" is like, when you're fighting back against oppression. antivaxxers should have been called insane sickos and children-killers from the start.

Reposting due to discourse. It's obviously bad to regularly see & interact with people who hate you for immutable aspects. The common sentiment to the contrary is simple nonsense. Social media peaked when it was a place to see what your friends are up to, share funny jokes, & post pictures of cats.

it's so great how we have presidents who will defy the law to do Horrible Things but we cannot ever have a president who remains steadfast when someone tries to stop them from doing something Obviously Good
