As a grown-ass man, when I look at the time and it's 13:37, I still whisper to myself, "The planets have aligned. This is your moment."

Go wishlist this shiny game my friend's making! Rule America with an iron fist, except iron is rubber and your fist is a chicken. store.steampowered.com/app/3705900/...

Got it confirmed I'm part of the mass layoffs at Funcom, so if you come across any writing roles, slam them into my face please, thank you.

Trying to find a job in video games right now is like crawling through hell: aftermath.site/video-game-rec...

Ha. I reviewed Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire in 2018, and the first sentence is: "cRPGs are niche". The world's in a deplorable state, but at least we fixed that, eh?

Silksong's lovely and all, but yeah, no. I sat on a bench that killed me with an axe. If I reached a bonfire in Dark Souls by the skin of my teeth and it just exploded and killed me, I'd quit that too.

I get frustrated seeing arguments against generative AI being that it's not "good" when we're already at the lowest requirement for mass consumption. To me the question is why would we want endless "good" AI art? I value art due to the implicit assumption that it's the result of a human process.

Did a cool trick with a Babybell and no one saw it. I am the cheesebender in the shadows.

Some of my latest stuff is on elegantliterature.com/magazine/ for free: "The Chair of Solitude" - Elegant Literature #034 (contest winner) "Just a Bunch of Cheap Meat and Probably Mustard Seed" - Elegant Literature #033 They're uuuh, pretty different, in case the titles didn't give that away.

I first heard Paranoid in Rock n' Roll Racing when I was 6. Years later, hearing the actual song - recognizing it, Ozzy's voice coming in - it blew my mind. Heard it just now again, sung by a 76-year old Ozzy at the farewell gig. Still blows my fucking mind.

Not too bothered by ageing in a general sense, but it hits different when the conversation with the doc goes: "My foot hurts. It turned purple." "Oh yeah, look at that." "So what do I do?" "No, it just does that now. *pokes at purple bruising* "Yep, yep."

All right, but I'm not tagging people! Food: chili Season: winter Drink: julmust Colour: uh, purple? Anime: I'll go with Princess Mononoke. Oh and for a series, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Broke my brain.

I have created FIRE! Definitely didn't use all the accelerant, still fail, then get help.

Sometimes I like to spend 15 uncomfortable minutes on a plane successfully convincing myself I've forgotten to raise my mental age and am therefore a year older than I thought I was, then realizing nah, haha, haha, nah.
