i have personally gotten better over the course of my lifetime

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

this post has been localised for an international audience. imagine how you'd sound saying "potato scones" in real life. "one bread roll with an egg and a potato scone please" hahaha

if EA stops making the sims it will destroy my life. ive spent my whole career one bad decision away from from starting work on an alternative and a gap in the market that large would surely consume me

do i think it would be good? bad? irrelevant. i think it would take up every waking hour for the next decade with little to no chance of actually being released

do you think ghosts get offended by the term "ghosting"? because if you think about it, that's the opposite of what they do. sticking around and bothering you is like their whole thing

you're never going to believe this but i sorted all my boxes of paperwork and somehow didn't end up with stacks of paper left sitting forever on my floor

sorting is such a high risk activity for me because categorising objects is one of the most fun tasks there is and putting objects away is one of the least

if you're into some of the worst people you know having a terrible time: airbnb has changed it's rules so owners can no longer require guests to clean up, do dishes, take out bins etc, and as you can expect they are all being super normal about it

Games are made by people and game studios are made of people but game studios are also made of institutional knowledge, continuity, practices, standards, technology, resources, and IP. And those things do mean something, and it is a loss when they're discarded.

did you know that PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, after originally standing for Personal Home Page? just one of the many terrible things i would prefer not to know about this language

i mean, probably not to make games but if you're working on something cool around may/june next year then maybe give me a shout

snow on the hills again last night! everyone locally is cheering on the Sphinx Snowpatch, a now tiny (~1m²) patch of snow on Braeriach from last winter that we really want to survive the entire year. let's go little patch of snow!!

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

had a phone call with the MOST helpful GP who sorted out my awkward testosterone logistics without a second thought and now all the stress has drained from my body

i have so much fear around talking to doctors about hormones because of past ones who were clearly after any excuse to cut me off. best not to remind them you exist. you could almost hear my brain clicking things together as it slowly worked out this Dr was really gonna go out of her way to help me

going to change my name to Powerful. pals introducing me like "hey, this is my friend. he's Powerful. he is pathetically weak though"
