the scope of these layoffs feels so overwhelming—that's 1,600 people whose lives are instantly changed and thrown into chaos. i think about how getting laid off impacted my life, then times that by 1,600... it's hard to comprehend.

my sister is using lego batman to learn how to video-game-drive and it has not been going well

how are (anxious) 30-somethings making local friends nowadays?

fun personal update that matters to no one but me - after posting a poll on instagram that was 80/20 in favor of this, i am growing out my bangs and have them split down the middle for the first time since i was 20. inconsequential to everyone else, very very very strange to me.. who is that..

And also there’s our longstanding feud.

if you’re wondering why you haven’t heard me on remap lately it’s bc after i got back from the mom-health-emergency trip i started a new job! i wish doing freelance/part-time games stuff was feasible for me but alas it is not. i am excited about my new job - i’m doing communications for my city :)

i’m finally back in seattle after 43 days in italy + 4 days in california! my mom is doing relatively well all things considered, and her doctors are all taking her condition very seriously which is a huge relief! once i recover from jetlag i will revisit my beloved video games….

Thanks to @rascal.news for bringing me and @possibleworlds.bsky.social to the podcast to talk about Realis, bringing a game from conception through production, and simply making stuff for the sicko in your heart.

accidentally ordered the Big American Joke Drink (xxl cappuccino) at a busy cafe this morning and the entire place erupted in laughter and cheers as the guy brought it over, placed it in front of me, and handed me a foot-long spoon to stir it with.. italy rocks

The Blender blockout! The Greenharbor illustration was a bit of an experiment in spending more time tying down the composition and lighting in the model before drawing into it.

Sol Cesto is on sale right now for under $10 🤫

the universe is telling me to give voyager a chance

im gonna be so scared tomorrow yall but having danika, chat, and the spirit of big boy and walmart yodel kid will make me brave

literally so excited for this!!!!! i'll have my hand over my eyes for most of it i'm sure but that's okay natalie will carry us home

looking at the posts from all the people in my phone

Star Trek does close-ups very effectively, the actors blocked with just enough eye grabbing colour and background detail behind them, and the show's main cast and guest star character actors have wonderfully expressive faces.

between pokopia and slay the spire 2 i feel like i need to really lean into being someone who sits on the couch and plays video games all day

i love you

Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

getting ready to play some marathon on remap and it's going to be really awesome because i went to the eye doctor thinking there was no way i'd need my eyes dilated and.. surprise.. they've been dilated and i CANNOT SEE LOL

marathon i really want to play you but holding me hostage on the licensing agreement page every time i attempt to launch the game is making that very difficult… please… let me in…
