I spent most of today watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Danny got it for me for my birthday) and doing a puzzle! I also figured out something really good for my game and I feel really energized about it again. Also old man fell asleep next to me while I was working. 😊

Just because I have had multiple people tell me he didn’t know I no longer worked for GDQ. Here’s clear proof of a direct lie he spoke just today.

Sorry - one quick follow up. Brossentia, after blocking me, posted lies about this interaction, calling me GDQ staff and saying I was trying to bait him into outing victims. It's just more proof that he cannot be trusted.

Hey all - I typically would not say anything publicly, but I want to make a single statement on this and then move on from having to think about it again. I stupidly reached out to Brossentia this morning because I wanted to try to understand why he's been posting a bunch of lies about GDQ lately.

holy moly

i don't know how to make my ideas interesting. i don't know why i crave someone to think what i'm doing is interesting. i can keep making what i'm making but i keep hesitating because i want to be interesting. everyone will make a more fun, more interesting game than i can.

figuring out where to start a story sometimes feels impossible once you've written enough stories: phone is dying, just woke up, going to bed, getting out of the car,

I don’t give a fuck about that isle of dogs movie but every time that “I bite” montage about the neglected dog comes up I uncontrollably sob

Got through Breaking Bad with the 14 year old and now we've moved on to Better Call Saul. I am going to break up the episodes by having them watch Higurashi between BCS episodes. This is really, really good parenting. No one can stop me.

I signed up for a monthly perfume delivery thing and the first scent I got just smells like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Somehow their scent quiz seems to have nailed what I like to smell but I don’t know if I want me to smell like this.

Had a dream that there was a way to bring people to life. I had a deep conversation with Saul Goodman about the difference between him being alive now and my sister bringing back her dead (in dream) wife. (The difference is that I could make up whatever I wanted about him because he wasn’t real.)

Today is my birthday. I didn’t really plan anything or do anything for it. I feel kind of bad about it but I guess I am not special and it’s just a Sunday.

google really thinks that JJ902 was real and that cracks me up so hard. this is why LLMs cannot be trusted. and I find it impossible to think of a way for misinformation to be sorted out by something that just is hyperpredictive text.

damn. making video games got hands

Extremely minor spoilers for the new episode of The Boys but the stuff with Seth Rogan was literally the least interesting or funny thing they’ve ever done on the show. I actually was so excited when it ended.

most of my favorite characters from media are liars with "positive" motives (Saul Goodman, Ben Linus, Kokichi Oma), yet, anyone who likes Nagito Komaeda is ???? like what's wrong with you??? who hurt you???? are you media literate? did you watch that one 2.5 OVA or something?

I've been back in my Danganronpa era because I'm waiting for the "remake" and I am so glad, more than for any game, that I have videos of me experiencing these for the first time.

I need to add a note here that Carlos in RE3make also does this shit but he’s kind of the same archetype and Jill repeatedly tells him to shut the fuck up. I don’t remember if he does it in RE3OG tho.

Tomodachi Life really falling short in some important ways to me. The inability to share items (I am a bad artist and don’t have the time) and the lack of writing songs is making me sad.

the geese are honking in key with Chihiro by Billie Eilish and I’ve already been too emotional this morning

Finished Resident Evil 9 with Danny (he played Grace and I played Leon). It felt like they tried to mashup 4 and 7 while referencing 2 and 3. It didn’t have the coherence it could have had they picked something and stuck to it. It just made me want to replay 2 and 7. It was fine.

Leon Kennedy is allowed to say such corny fucking bullshit because he’s the only one who does it. If every character talked like that, the series would be insufferable. He’s still an annoying little dork but it’s endearing.

wyd well I’m going to the Hatsune Miku Expo with a sinus infection that’s stripped me of most of my hearing in one of my ears

Andy Weir: I fucking love hard-science science fiction me screaming at how unrealistic the language shit is in Project Hail Mary

trying to do my day job and go to the dentist and make an appointment for 6 months in the future when the world is like.... this.... is ridiculous

me when a guy I hate is bald (derogatory) and ugly

Brekkie Bros. out NOW at sadfolks.itch.io/brekkie-bros These are the only bros that are OFFICIALLY pooting with power!

I feel like at times I’ve investigated myself for so many personality disorders and things and it usually just boils down to “no one played with me when I was a child” which is something I like to jokingly say but as I explore my youth uhhhhhh it’s like actually I was neglected?? so it’s hehe uh oh

can’t stop thinking about how at the first day at my new job one of the dudes ended a meeting by going “ok guys, that’s it for today *suddenly remembers I’m in the call* well…not guys anymore” and I had to be like “no no hit me with the ‘guys’ whenever you want I’m guys we’re ok”

game developers don't owe you fun

I have no idea what I’m doing hehehehehe

Balatro Gambit

so all the puzzles are post-game loaded. I found a lot of them to be clever. I had fun figuring them out, but I wish the game had let you in on some things earlier so you could intersperse them throughout. also for a soulslike the movement was extremely frustrating. overall, it was ok

Tunic is not a puzzle game Tunic is a soulslike game that has metroidvania elements and knowledge check points I just rolled what I assume is a bad end and I do not feel like I solved a single “puzzle” hope I get proven wrong at some point if I keep playing

trying not to let playing games by people better than me make me feel inferior as I try to learn how to make what I want to make but holy shit I am but a speck

I actually have streamed more in the past 2 weeks than in a long time before that because I started Look Outside and I can't stop playing it

had the honor of playtesting this one! unique and interesting nostalgia based gameplay with just enough heart and character that I wanted to keep going even after game overing .... repeatedly.... something that could only be made by the person who made it. and it's free!

I typically avoid expressing things about what I went through at GDQ because the staff member who was the reason I quit still works there and I find my feelings about the good the org does outweighs the negativity and spite I still have in my heart. Somehow.

me when someone I never liked turns out to be a bad person: oh noooooo anyway

becoming a better story teller by rolling dice

it's been a really stressful couple of weeks: I found out that my team at work was changing & I was being demoted (they said it "wasn't a demotion" but one of my peers would have been my boss). the same day I found this out, I got a message from an old boss asking me about a role he had open.

I JUST REALIZED BREAKING BAD IS DEATH NOTE

I finally got a negative review on "In The Foundations." I think maybe when I was younger I would have felt bad, but I think that it's maybe more interesting to me now to see someone not being able to understand something I wrote, especially with the context they left in the review.

Hey. I realized the ultimate story like this is actually Prey (2017). Top 15 game of all time to me.

tried to scratch the puzzle itch with The Talos Principle but the amount of samey puzzles has me at the point where I unlock floor 4 and see I need to solve 10 more red piece puzzles to even get to 5, and knowing there's at least 1 floor after that... girl I'm tired

I love having a favorite band and I realize the band is so un-famous that I go to the lead singer's instagram and he's posting things about the cigar bar he works at or all of the band's music is on some licensing site for $20 a song

been playing Talos Principle and while I feel beat over the head in every game that's theming is "what is humanity? is human human? what is means people? huh?? how know soul?? HUH?? is robots human??", this specific moment was violent

awww it’s almost the anniversary of the event that caused one of the other *** employees to try to ruin my life because he didn’t learn how to communicate

me: why do all these awful things happen to me at work like sexism and retaliation and stuff and they never happen to you? my white husband (without pausing to think): i'm a man me: yeah..........................

I think I've been taught that radical candor is good but I think I was stupid to apply it at work. it's that fucking "the risk was calculated but I'm bad at math" meme AGAIN.
