"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

I think about this quote every single day and I think about how much potential we, as humans and as a country, have lost because of hate. Our Constitution and institutions would be so much stronger right now if they were also built with Natives, Black people, and women as equals.

Smoking on that shit that makes you Gary for the rest of your life

As is tradition by now every year

offside should not count when something would be dope as hell I'm just saying, in general

Some of you are still posting about politics and I need you to understand that Bluesky is now a Cabo Verde stan platform thank you for your attention

[person who has never seen soccer before] “oh no is that guy hurt?”

My man ran into the stands like he just won Wimbledon

AGAIN oh my god lol

cabo verde!!!

i've been having a lot of fun making flyers for events in my neighborhood -- the summer block party, the big yard sale, etc. super fun way to improve my graphic design skills, which don't get a whole lotta use these days, while getting to know my neighbors better.

It really does feel like a run up to a Final Destination type of mass casualty event

this man is an artist

icymi last week, we opened preorders for the Caves of Qud original soundtrack as a 3LP vinyl. we showed off some art, but it's hard to capture just how exquisite @stvulture.bsky.social's signature digital clay sculpture art is

we should all be allowed to delete a boyfriend if we want

i have no strong feelings about soccer so my World Cup strategy is rooting for whichever outcome would make my enemies the most upset

oh, people are noticing it, they're just doing their best to not have people talk about it for the past decade (or longer!), console platform holders made deep strategic shifts towards optimizing for revenue against acquired users at the opex cost of of trying to acquire new users it's TERRIFYING.

I am lucky to have a lot of support in my life but one thing I do not have, and have not had since October, is regular income. I have so many things in progress, and applications out, to try to make ends meet but it's hard as fuck out there and nothing moves fast enough. PP: @StellaSacco CA: #$SACC

there are no people here it is not a place for people or by people but only of monsters and their shadows

this is a direct embodiment of dead internet theory reflected into real life

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.

Elton John if he was from Arrakis voice: 🎵Bene(bene), Bene(bene), Bene(bene), Bene Gesserrrrrrittttt🎵

I‘m sorry, but this reads like somebody with an addiction that genuinely needs help. If a friend told me they were talking and acting like this I’d be really worried!

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

IT'S STONE FRUIT SEASON MOTHER FUCKERS

i guess it was considerate of the post-vacation stomach bug to hit both of us immediately after we got home and not like, on the flight back

quality work here, can confirm

An egg cannot lay an egg.

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

i just thought this was a cute fit (pfp) but every German woman in Mexico City has approached me today thinking that i am also visiting from Germany lmao

reading anything by Le Guin is an exercise in saying FUCK at varying volumes—incredulity at her skill, being again happily returned to one’s place in the world in which smallness is neither detriment nor remedy, awe at the incisive clarity of her language—how is she continually this good? etc etc.

in the late 2000s people used to say "the Internet is forever" meaning online evidence of wrongdoing never fades, but that turned out to be very wrong. this shit is mad ephemeral. I executed a family of six with a claw hammer in 2013 and there's no evidence because I uploaded the vid in flash player

I think it's fine for games not to really have economies

Once again the thing that made Mamdani such a breath of fresh air was that he didn't act scared of what right wing media would say about him, correctly concluding that trying to appease them would be a waste of time.

this is about tv but we are absolutely losing out on good games because dev cycles take 5+ years & there’s so little time given to experiment, so you get a bunch of stuff that rehashes what money people think works & no one on the team has the space to compare 4 different ways theyve done a feature

do you ever wonder what kind of ghost you’re gonna be? i’m pretty sure i’m going to wander between the rooms of my house whispering “where the fuck did i put my phoOoOone”

there are a lot of deeply entrenched myths about how "genius" goes hand in hand with domineering behavior and emotional volatility, and i just think it's all individualist self-mythologizing. great work can happen in unhealthy environments, but that doesn't mean the unhealthy environment is causal!

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

feeling very Frankie Boyle "it was the banks! they showed you them doing it on the news!" about it

during the big itch furor last year a lot of people talked a very big game about how easy it was to spin up an itch competitor. you may notice that, mysteriously, no one actually went and did that

thought we had a gas leak yesterday so the gas company came by, and it was just the regulator in our old-ass dryer failing. not great, but a matter of buying and replacing a part. the dude was sooo envious of our dryer that does not have a computer in it, even with it leaking gas into our house lol

And what's hilarious is that Game Companies ™️ are still requiring folks to move to work at their studio. Lol absolutely not. No no no. Don't do it. Not worth it.
