That's about right. I'm the same level of quality as Mass Effect. Something super nerdy made under incredible pressure, and could maybe use a bit more refining.

I’m still like, so angry about this that I get short of breath when I think about it. If Epic pulls Blueprints it will be the biggest mistake they've ever made. It's not that it's a BETTER scripting language, it's that it is VISUAL. IT IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE DIVERGENTLY DISABLED WHO THRIVE USING IT

Okay, NOW the anxiety is beginning to seep in. Been able to mostly ignore it because it's usually nonsense. But realizing this is a revealing of not only my game but the version of myself I've been working on for years to my peers who may only remember the old-busted-me is emotionally complex.

Every major video game company is silent when employees are harassed because they are petrified their bottom line will be affected. That bottom line is a group of toxic, terrible, trifling ass gamers who they should NOT WANT TO SELL TO ANYWAY. But capitalism prevails, and they cower.

*trans girl*: "so not only is a concept of gender as complex and diverse important, at a young age this can help develop theory of mind earlier and with increased empathy. The world would be a kinder place if we simply accepted that people are who they say they are." *cis person*: "as a Hufflepuff

Fuck me I guess.

Please just develop the literacies and dispositions to play old games just like you can watch old movies.

QA abuse? Must be a day ending in Y.

I find my feelings on sex scenes in film sway largely depending on whether or not I'm currently in a relationship. Right now? Not a fan!

If you're having a QA tester look at code, what you actually have is a test engineer and you should be paying them way more.

this is so fucking stupid

How many years did feminists have to deal with being called femi-nazis by Limbaugh listening losers?

I felt weird about calling this a lifelong dream at first, but then I realized that I'm in my 40s and have had this dream since I was in my 20s so that's close enough, right?

I took an online test and it was like "I dunno, maybe?" That's about as definitive an answer as I'm wiling to entertain.

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

Every single time someone frames a population as a problem or capitalized Issue their solution always ends up being exterminating them, and somehow centrists never notice this until the mass graves are already being filled.

"anti anti ai very sane ai"

I really hope I'm as funny as I think I am or when my game comes out I'm gonna feel like an asshole.

I had a couple people call me an indie dev, and I'm not sure that's accurate because that would assume some level of funding - self or otherwise. The vast majority of the currency spent on this game has been my free time. And believe me it's been costly.

incredibly fucking awful

All I do is work, go to the gym and tinker on my game. As my Finnish sister-in-law said - it's my "triangle of sadness."

This video garnered thousands of comments on TikTok pondering what he’s doing his b-man blast at— fleas, eye floaters, laser pointer mental illness, his reflection, im forcing him with electroshocks… only I know the truth. I’ll never tell them. (It’s a gnat)

If you're in Vancouver come play my game this weekend. I've taken all the resentment and anger I've felt over the years of being at the bottom tier of game development for so long and channeled it in to the game. That does mean it will occasionally shout expletives at you, but at least it's funny.

I guess it's okay that my post about some emotional trauma is making numbers if it means I get followed back by several people I respect and make it to 1.5k followers. That's cool too.

How dare you.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Apple or their products, but I've been happy with an iPhone ever since I got the 4S. Whenever I get a new Apple phone I've felt like I'm using the best phone on the market at the time. iOS26 sucks big time. The glass distortion sucks. The colors suck. The buttons suck.

CHASM (2000) Acrylic on Panel - 30" x 20" I keep a sketchpad next to the bed for recording ideas which arrive as I am falling asleep or waking up... prime time for my "muse channel." 1/2

Once a streamer got paid more than twice what i was paid in a year just to play the game I was working on and I'll never forget it.

I didn't expect to like Pirate Yakuza as much as I am tbh 😂

This whole thing continues to be the biggest media circus I've seen in my entire life. And I was around during the O.J. Simpson trial and 9/11. It's beyond nuts.

The three types of game dev job listings

Two incredible games, if you haven't played either of these then I highly recommend you do!

Vancouverites and visitors - @vangamegarden.bsky.social is this weekend! Check out the many cool artists, devs and games, including GRIDHACK! Did I mention it's free entry? #YVR #GameDev #IndieGames

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality But it is not this day

One time I was hanging out with a now former friend and they were complaining about their girlfriend when they got a message from her asking them to pick up an onion on the way home. "See what I mean?!" they said, exasperated. "No?" I thought. "There's three grocery stores from here to there."

Hey all! I'm running a B.C.-specific Trans I.D. clinic at an event this Saturday in Vancouver. I've got funding to cover the name change fees of a few low(er)-income trans folk. If you'd like to take part in this, send me a message or an email!

HI CANADIANS ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK’S FURNERAL ON CBC? Yeah, me too. The guy who’s helmed CBC during this pivot to the right is [email protected]. Complain to the CRTC, the government division responsible for overseeing the CRTC about what was ostensibly KKK rally: www.crtc.gc.ca

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.
