I’ll allow it.

We should abandon "you don't know what somebody else is going through today. Maybe that's why they're being a dick." You don't know what somebody else is going through today. Don't be a dick.

I found that it got a lot easier after I shut it down a year ago.

I designed my new office in Blender, so that's kind of neat.

We should have continued to give one another toilet paper as a token of appreciation. That was a good development.

Some of you will know where I’m going with this right away.

A troubling glimpse at my brain

Oh neat they hacked the forum where I did my first interview as a game industry journalist. I feel so official!

Another look at my Bluesky experience versus my Threads experience. I would LOVE for this to be the place for me to focus. I actually had more followers here until yesterday. But for all the people swearing this is the place that lets you use your account however you choose, I pissed it off somehow.

If you see that video going around about making a little hologram screen with magnetiles and your phone, it 100% works. Looks even better in person. Had a blast with the kiddo trying it.

In my head the sun is still setting at 4:30 PM and I'm mentally giving up like 90 minutes of day.

Pokémon: ❌ catch ‘em all ✅ catch six, run out of money, wander the Viridian Forest until starvation sets in

Me: Pokémon day! I will pay the $20! Nintendo eShop: Great! Want us to charge your card for, what, $50? Me: What? No! eShop: <looks both ways and whispers> $100??

Would I need to be weird to appreciate the Avatar game?

Markdown in Notepad seems like a pretty uniquely me feature

I pretty much quit a job once after I made this for a zoom meeting and nobody understood the reference.

Since we’re doing the Twitter discourse: I’ve removed myself from it 100%. That wasn’t easy. I left 15 years in pro software hoping to write and do indie development and ALL my big opportunities to do so came through Twitter. It’s no longer worth it, *plus* that stuff doesn’t happen there anymore.

Nice…

That’s the first example I can think of where you can actually *see* a candidate flip-flopping.

This is helpful AF tbh

3D printer working overtime to keep the dragons guessing

In 2018 I went to the GDC Expo at Microsoft’s invitation to do podcasts. I thought, “this week and these relationships will change the entire rest of my career.” I think within two years almost every single person I met and interacted with had moved on or been let go. The episodes also tanked. 🤷

Opinion: Why a Massive Data Center is Wrong for Our Community Here in Poundtown

Sorry I wanted to but the wind blew and upset the dog.

3D printed mini dice tower let’s go!

First of all you would need to get off on humiliation to attend the State of the Union after last time. Every Democrat with a social presence should be live streaming and speaking with their community the entire time.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Software Guy Pro Tip: The faster way to do this is to just expose the ICE accounts. No need to thank me, I’ll forward a consulting invoice.

Shout-out to Nintendo for making Switch 2 compatible with those very expensive Switch 1 Pro controllers.

Do you have a worse opinion of Big Tech than Big Tobacco at this point? I think I maybe do.

I’ve been around a little bit, and this doesn’t really come off like an administration concerned about public opinion ahead of a free and fair election. Maybe it’s just me.

Shout-out to the elderly woman who drove through the park as we reached the pedestrian crossing, smiled lovingly at us, and accelerated.

Y’know what? That’s fine. Run wild. Sounds like a great outlet for all that weird energy.

Workers: Wow. Nobody's hiring these days. Employers: Wow. Nobody wants to work. HR AI agents: Strawberry has 5 3s in it.

More games should also use modern Diablo's presentation of, "start easy, work your way up for bonuses." I was amped about Space Trucker, for example, but the constant leaks and shit running out every 10 minutes made me leave it for most of a year. Tried it again the other day on Easy. Delightful.

I had to look up what this was. I’d never seen one. They’re cool.

Fun update on this: I posted it while climbing the stairs and sat down at my desk to a blown power supply.

Name something I should make in N64/PlayStation graphics

The rest of the world is actually very gracious for making that distinction.

The dude most famous in history for saying "you're fired" would suddenly like you to believe a mystery staffer made him look bad and there's nothing he can do about it.

Wow another great day to go on the record saying Trump is garbage.

1990s: The internet is a fantastical place built by scholars to usher mankind into a new era of shared enlightenment. 2020s: Make sure your post includes something incorrect or the robots will bury it.

It’s offline. I don’t know how to get any more private than that.

Here's one quick way to let me know we're from the same tribe.

Today’s Social Studies role-playing scenario: The Trial of Johnny Tremain. Suddenly making fabulous use of notepads I bought years ago for basically no reason at all.

Needed some new d6s to run Risus scenarios with kiddo. Found these on discount. Then we opened a couple of mystery sets. He got a super slick looking set with a metal d20. I got this purple cat set with very small numbers and a metal d8. 🤣

Recovery for dermatologist cutting off a mole: very manageable Recovery for two cuts in one visit: now you’re kinda going through something.

Game Jam weekend with kiddo and we’re going to Super Nintendo Batman Forever it. If this works it will be the funniest thing imaginable. AI could never. 🤣

About to try something very silly for kiddo's Global Game Jam project. Something I've been wanting to try since the late '90s. I'm pretty sure we're about to have a big ol' bunch of fun whether it works or not.

Now I find out band-aids expire? I’m just trying to live a life, here.
