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

I am SO excited about this! I loved Moon and I still rave about it, eager to get my hands on the next thing this brilliant team has done.

Can’t tell if I had some great RNG but I managed to get to Room 46 on Blue Prince in 18 days on a first go. Pretty happy with that.

Been watching Haiyku!! after work the last while to get my mind off things, and there’s nothing I love more than stories about tiny weird dudes succeeding (because I am a tiny weird dude.)

Congrats to Bluesky for moving forward on the "Become Twitter 2" roadmap with their recent achievement: moderation that over-protects the bigoted powerful against the mildest threats.

🫵 LAZY

AHHH!!

I full on cried during To Zanarkand. It was so beautiful, and I have wanted to hear it live my whole life. Can’t believe I got the pleasure tonight.

It’s SO good. So good. I definitely didn’t cry during Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

And we've hit $500,000 raised for @doctorswithoutborders.org at #SGDQ2025! Thank you all so much!

I was travelling home yesterday so I couldn’t post about it but SO excited for SGDQ this week!! It’ll be such a pick me up!

omg can you believe it??!? #SGDQ2025 is live RIGHT NOW!! Supporting @msf.ca!! Come check out the pre-show with us at gamesdonequick.com!

Omg I also forgot IT'S HEERO'S GOTCHA DAY. Here he was six years ago! Such a little burnt potato...

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

All tucked in.

I bought a Supernote! I’m still getting used to it, but I got the Nomad and the size works perfectly for me. I think it’s going to be really fun sketching with this!

I’m going to need to get the band resized, and set it up, but I have been eyeing this watch for over a year and I finally decided to get it. It absolutely rules.

It's Heero's sixth birthday today! Here are some of my favourite shots I've taken of him over the years. He is a stubborn punk, but we love him dearly.

I lost my sprout in FFXIV yesterday… I wasn’t ready to let it go 😭

also I will say: as someone who has been suffering severe depression for months now, Endwalker’s message of finding joy and continuing on, even among the pain and and sorrow, was very meaningful to me.

Finished FFXIV Endwalker tonight... I got me very emotional at moments, and now I'll never be able to listen to Close in the Distance again without crying a ton. I've really loved my time with this game.

I can't believe FFXIV might be my second-favourite Final Fantasy? I mean nothing can beat out my love for FFX but FFXIV has blown me away in so many factors. I can't believe I waited this long to play this.

Shadowbringers!! Wow!! Whoa!!

Finished Stormblood… a story of revolution and fighting against tyranny, even amongst the afraid and unwilling, hits pretty strongly right now.

Post-Heavensward done... my heart is heavy moving onto Stormblood! I'm also sad to leave Heavensward/Dragonsong. What a good set of stuff

Heero enjoying the snow.

Heero adores the snow! It was hard moving to a place that only gets one snowfall a year, but it makes it so exciting when it happens.

Finished FFXIV’s Heavensward. I can’t believe how long I’ve sit on such an amazing game. What an excellent experience.

OH!! My first time getting this warning hehe

Finished up FFXIV’s A Realm Reborn tonight… I get the appeal of these games now. Am looking forward to the rest of the expansions!

I started playing Final Fantasy XIV with my partner. I… am not an MMO guy but I’m starting to see the appeal.

I love GDQ. What a force of good in this world. I love this event, and it's why I post so much during it. It's for such a great cause and there's always so much fun and excitement. This year was exceptional. Can't wait for SGDQ~

Heero got one of his Christmas gifts early.

You have to be your own biggest fan of your work. You should celebrate it. Sometimes it's so hard to do, but if you can't celebrate your own work, it'll be hard pressed to get anyone else to.

A doodle and a sleepy Heero.

the really important thing about resisting automatically generated stat sheets that services give you is that numbers mean nothing without ~why~. exercise learning to talk about music & why you like it, not just "because i listened to it a lot" or "it's peak". these are skills you can develop!!

Every year, Spotify Wrapped becomes something that feels actively hostile to the enjoyment of music, now with more blatant data mining to train AI. which is bad enough, but also remember that Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is a primary investor in an AI predator drone company
