That time of year, back on my gamedev bullshit. This time digging around in Godot/C#. Little 2D turn-based dungeon crawler RPG using card mechanics and skill trees.

if they're drinking nounwine it's fantasy. if they're snorting a verb it's sci fi

Bluesky breaks once a month. Doordash sends me text alerts despite having them disabled. My car’s app sent me a bunch of push notifications for other cars. My mortgage company’s website just straight doesn’t work. The list goes on. Big mystery why all this software is falling apart more and more…

the Air Bud Double Negative Rule is so, so important. Every server and community needs it

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

gotta feel for the guy, probably his first time realizing people were responding to his stand-up comedy in a way he didn’t anticipate or like

They're going after horror, we said this would happen

What if it happened today. Can you imagine? We wouldn’t know what to believe

“Death of the author” is about literary analysis, separating intent from interpretation. It’s not relevant to the current issue, but it does suggest a solution that I could get behind.

Hardest part of building Lego sets as an adult is being left alone with your thoughts.

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Been cranking out first draft models. Nothing to write home about, but this little fox merchant guy turned out pretty cute.

The silver lining to the modern “7 year gamedev cycle” is that means many devs might have job security for 7 years and 2 weeks.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

zoe i have new orders

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

We only found out the true depth of the atrocities after the war. It’s not unreasonable to assume there may already be death camps and mass exterminations happening around us.

ICE apparently lacks capacity to oppress more than one city at a time. This is performative authoritarianism. performative authoritarianism that has killed people, yes. It’s not a joke. But it is also incapable of any sort of meaningful authoritarian consolidation. They lack the numbers to win.

In my mid-20s, I started telling hair stylists “cut off enough to last me a few months, but otherwise do whatever you think would look good on me.” Doesn’t work if you go to a cheap place, and don’t do it in like Oklahoma (unless you dig farmer chic), but that aside I get 100% better haircuts now.

The only times I ever apologize for my demographic groups is when these hollow-eyed empty mayonnaise jars in suits stomp around doing racisms while saying they’re doing it on my behalf. Fuck off into the sun.

Once more unto the breach

I’ve got the next 4 weeks of my gamedev project mapped out. The timeline is aggressive! And it’s full of things I’m not good at! But if I can survive this month, if should be far enough along to kick off a real closed beta. Or at least at a point where I won’t be embarrassed to show it to people.

I have something special to share. We premiered this incredible video last night at the dinner auction. This is a Game Tech. This is a job Child's Play created and YOUR donations make possible! Please take a few minutes to watch this and share it if you can. vimeo.com/1140232457/1...

We’re staring down the barrel of yet another once-in-a-lifetime huge financial crash. When tariffs derail the chip manufacturing economy and investors stop floating the collective lie that AI has any real value, this bubble is gonna pop HARD

I’ve had an EV for 2 months now, and every time I leave the house, I still get that panic anxiety flash of “do I need to stop for gas?”

For 2 years, whole industries have been taken by storm. New software tools are making workers more efficient at their jobs. The feared drawbacks never materialized. And workers widely report actually enjoying the paradigm shift. The year is 2022 and remote telework is a huge success.
