I have 15+ years of game development experience, with an expertise in tool design for 3D editors and OpenUSD workflows. Work with one of my clients has finished, so my schedule is freeing up at the beginning of February for a long term commitment.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

This was a grim read. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

The childhood immunization schedule affects the health & safety of millions of children. Changes of this magnitude require careful review, expert and public input, and clear scientific justification. That level of rigor and transparency was not part of this decision. spr.ly/63320ClpPO

Sometimes men, always men, get stuck on this. They'll wonder "so what, you're saying I have to be longtime buddies with everyone I disagree with?" I would ask for you, in the most respectful way possible, to examine why you feel sacrificing unsolicited disagreemeents with strangers is unbearable.

Since I quit weed last year, I guess I’m just sober sober right now.

You've probably been following the story about fraud in MN. I wrote about the people who provide services who are being driven into bankruptcy, thanks to the Walz' administration decision to hire Optum AI to screen all payments. It's a disaster.

Someone mentioned The Image so I'm bound by law to post The Image again

Introduce yourself by what almost killed you: Hi guys, I’m cancer.

Well, call me a big sap who‘s a bit tired and emotional after two weeks of travel, but the Stranger Things finale landed beautifully for me.

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

Merry Christmas from Calvin, pouting because he’s lacking in holiday spirit and doesn’t want to share his blanket with cousin Walter.

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

In NYC there are plenty of people who don't celebrate, and people who do, who dont have anywhere to go. So as is our tradition, Anyone Comics in BK and Everyone Comics at Queensboro Plaza will be there to entertain from 12-5pm and handing out free books for those who feel left out!
