Welp, I am now also an out of work game producer looking for their next opportunity - not necessarily exclusive to game dev.
My strongest proficiencies are in servant leadership, project management, and business development. Here's my LinkedIn for now.

It's such a joy to laugh and sigh and gasp in shock with a packed theatre. It's heartbreaking when you find yourself disagreeing with most of the reactions.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
Now that I've got a 4K copy of Linda Linda Linda, I'm hungry for someone to release I'm A Cyborg But That's OK on Blu-Ray or 4K. Dramatically underseen Park Chan Wook film that I've long loved.
I'm getting greedy.
During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it:
IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!
I feel like all the Bioware retrospectives have not yet dwelt enough on what an absolute watershed Femshep was in terms of female playable protagonists
My partner in France just started watching Interview with the Vampire with me. I've never been so excited for someone's take and thoughts and feels. She's deeply familiar with Anne Rice, as well as the cultural, religious, and general histories of various places, including New Orleans and France.
I recently picked up a soundbar as a little treat for me and my roommate. Today I'm watching Tron: Legacy as a lovely demo. I can't speak highly enough about how this movie looks and sounds, particularly with a TV and audio a cut above average.

Saw Klara and the Sun last night. I've never read the Ishiguro novel, but want to do so now. Something tells me Taika Waititi might have been a tonal mismatch, but I liked it just the same. And it was a joy to watch Jenna Ortega play to the cheap seats.

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...
Today is a good day to pause, close your computer, open it back up, and tell people who make a positive difference to you that they are doing good jobs.
I spent two weeks training as a call center rep for Dish Network/Echostar when I was 18 or so. That part was awesome: learned about engineering and tech of satellites, had lunch at a nearby bar with trivia.
After starting the job proper, it was so horrible that I didn't go back for my third shift.
Criticism is being engaged and interested enough to really understand something and say "what if we looked at it like this?" Or "what if this was different about it?" Or "what if we applied this to something else?" And that skill translates to building a functioning, healthy democratic society.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
The Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival made by @adamgryu.bsky.social is back again this year with some new secrets to discover ๐ updated graphics ๐ and lots of unseen updates to its bones ๐ฆด go check it out!!: adamgryu.itch.io/pumpkin-carver
wife saw this tweet and said "you know what? I CAN. i love this album" and i said "yeah, that tracks," and she said "what do you mean??" and i said "I've known a lot of hot chicks who love Portishead's Dummy" and she said "that's RIGHT"
the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)
Now, you may notice I've been making fun of Jonathan Blow a certain amount. I should clarify I do have various positive things to say about his work. Which I will be keeping to myself for the entire rest of my life
"We're not getting any younger, and the world seems to be ending, so if we were ever going to make Machinarium 2, now is the right time," Amanita CEO and designer Jakub Dvorskรฝ said.
llms only โexistโ to give one reply at a turn
you: x
llm: y
then the whole process starts over. there is no continuity. each reply is 100% fresh. the context of your previous โconversationโ is included, hidden from you, in every request you make. continuity is an illusion
Great explainer. I don't think LLMs are conscious but a few additional arguments for LLMs nearing AI consciousness here:

โ๏ธ No Games for Genocide Xbox boycott pledge signed
Most of our team have been individual signers for a while of the @nogamesforgenocide.com and as you would assume, those behind The Arab League of Misfits refuse to associate with any corporation complicit in the ongoing genocide.
