One of my favorite bits of the holiday season… Sauce Day! Making 12qt of my Great Grandma’s spaghetti sauce

Putting together our annual Christmas LEGO set

Is there a good alternative to Wirecutter for product reviews? I’m never giving NYT a dime and they aggressively limit how may free pageviews I get a month.

Ok. Season 2 of Dispatch when?

I’m a few weeks late to the party but holy crap… Dispatch is good

Share a tv series you’ve watched all the way through more than once or something.

I've used TurboTax for most of my adult life. That may be changing when it comes time to do next year's taxes...

Fuck cancer

Can we spend the next 3 years harassing Trump and every GOPer with "But his e-mails!" ? That sound fair to everyone? Good. Ok. Lets do this.

Reading the WoW Midnight Beta Forums really is an excellent reminder of why game devs don't engage with their communities anymore :\

Myst is the reason I got into game dev in the first place. It holds such a special place in my heart as it was the first game I became truly obsessed with. I had pages and pages of notes. That signed edition is really calling to me, but sadly I can't justify $1k :(

welcome

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

I find it poetic that on the day Dick Cheney died, NYC elected a Muslim mayor.

New hobby / money black hole…

Nov 1… time for all the Christmas ads to pop up everywhere

We set candy out with a sign to take 3 pieces. I expected someone would get greedy and just take all of it given the chance. What I did not expect was that it was a parent that did it after their kid walked away.

This is the kind of trolling I'm absolutely here for!

Ok... so I finally bought a 3D Printer (Bambu P1S) since there was a killer sale. What are the first things I should print when I get it set up?

My wife has volunteered at a local food bank for years and confirms what many of you have probably heard: in this case, straight cash is a good donation if you can do it. The food banks have better access and buying power than individuals do, and can try to address item imbalances as they see them.

If you're in the North Texas area, please please please consider donating to the North Texas Food Bank. Goods or cash, though cash goes further ($1 = 1 meal). It's never been more important to support your local food banks & charities. The GOP may want people to starve, but I don't. ntfb.org

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

I just picked up this game and it's excellent. And knowing nothing about the game makes it so much better. Go buy it. It's his birthday! Just wish I could figure out how to open the garage door...

The more I watch this, the more hilariously unhinged it becomes

Something they don't warn you about if you work for a co-dev studio: The sheer number of different VPN programs you'll have to connect to various partner's systems. I'm up to 4 right now.

This is my favorite joke from my favorite Christmas movie and I want it so bad… www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/207...

It seems like this is the absolute worst time, as a news organization, to introduce subscription paywalls. First CNN, now the BBC. I'm running out of places to get reliable news.

We’re looking for a Narrative Design Intern for this summer to come help us work on Star Wars: Jedi! www.respawn.com/careers/narr...

Despite being a Millennial, I completely missed the boat on Pokemon and do not understand the hype. It seems like it’s effectively the same barebones game updated slightly every few years and packaged as new. And the gameplay isn’t even very interesting.

Today I was reminded again of my all-time favorite YouTube video on game development... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUtd...

“CEO played a new game…”

This looks like it could be a lot of fun...

#Pheonix 🤘🏼

Now that @npr.org is no longer govt funded, I’d be absolutely delighted for them to go aggressive on every false statement from the Trump admin. Don’t go Fox News on them, just hold them to account. Every. Single. Time.

I feel this deep in my bones

What do we want? A producer! When do we want them? Did we ever write that down? Where would we even write that down? I don't know I just memorize them That makes sense What were we talking about? I dunno Probably not that important then If only we had someone who knew

Review/Cert on Every Platform: "You've failed to meet the requirements of Cert X. Please re-read the vaguely written docs on Cert X, address the issue and re-submit" "Um, I'm meeting every element of Cert X in these ways. What am I missing?" "I'm sorry, I can't tell you that..." BLOOD BOILING

There's a little game I play on LinkedIn about once a week.. Anyone I see posting AI or Crypto content (either writing it themselves or sharing others' content) I un-link from them, and if it's egregious, block them entirely.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Game fails to sell: Layoffs Game sells better than any other in studio history: Also layoffs

Hey, in the year of Our Lord 2025, can we all agree that trailers do not need that ridiculous "The Trailer.... Starts.... NOW!" opening bit? I know it's about to start. I just clicked on it to watch. Just let me watch it. It's like a pre-roll ad that adds nothing of value.

EA has so much great IP locked away that they have zero interest in doing anything with themselves, but at the same time aren't willing to let anyone else do anything with it either.

OK, who wants to help me get together a crowdfunding campaign to buy BioWare from EA once they go private? I don't think the Saudis are going to care about anything that isn't The Sims or Sports games making billions.

Timeline cleanser 🐈

There’s no way this EA buyout deal is going to be a good thing.
