Jesse Harlin (derogatory)

👋 Hello, new people. A bit about who you just followed: - Composer in the video game industry, on-staff at 2K working on BioShock 4. - Indie #ttrpg author working on my first game. Called @arrhenius.bsky.social, it's about surviving the next Ice Age in the year 100k - Cat person (don't tell my dog)

“Why does Dude, Where’s My Car? take drug-addled millennial buffoonery as its subject but not spend an equivalent one and a half hours on Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Elizabeth Warren, or any one of the other wealthy white women liberals who have deranged contemporary society?”

Do you want Paw Patrol in real life? Because this is how you get Paw Patrol in real life.

Some progress on my second Halloween project, a Jack-o’-lantern but this ones based on the traditional turnip. 🎃

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

I worked with BioWare for 13 years on #SWTOR. They were always wonderful people with great care for the game, the franchise, and their fans. I’m really sorry for all of those employees to hear that they’re being closed.

Goddamn it. You know what? I think maybe the Amish have been right the whole time. Don’t tell them I said this.

It is so freaking noisy inside my skull all the time.

My dog seems to believe that there is only one squirrel in the world. And he hates it with a passion.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? John Cage:

This was the birth of influencers.

I’ve reached The Devil’s Streak in Duolingo.

Mr. Monopoly went to Epstein Island.

I was very honored to be asked to chat with my alma mater, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), about my career as they celebrate their 30th anniversary. I suppose this means I'm also celebrating my 30th anniversary. lipa.ac.uk/news/jesse-h...

It's time! Come warm yourself by the totally safe nuclear reactor with us in the first actual play episode of ARRHENIUS! We've got drama, we've got goofs, we've got editing and we've got an absolutely amazing world to discover! @Arrhenius.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3UOy...

My #TTRPG “Arrhenius” is getting the #ActualPlay treatment from the wonderful folks over at @diceydiscourse.bsky.social. Ep 1 is up now in which they create their characters and begin to dive into the world’s lore….

Knowing English is Cheating When Lesrning French, Part 288:

“TrumpTV” *if you don’t know what this is about… go to the White House social media. 😵‍💫

Your 30s are a season of weddings. Your 50s are a season of funerals.

My wife and I do jigsaw puzzles when we’re stressed out by politics. It stops our fingers from doomscrolling.

The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

"Favorite movie at age 20" seems like harmless fun... until it occurs that it's a phishing for your demographic and preferences (behavioral/personality) information. And elections are coming. And whatshisname in Trump's first campaign and Cambridge Analytica and targeting voters on social media.

I’ve apparently reached the “French for divorcees” section of Duolingo.

So we're all just going to twitter it and call it Lake Ontario, right?

'Til all are one

Being reborn as a literal Force of Nature tells you what a badass she was.

Might be too early, but fuck it. This is one of my favorite Weird Dolly things. 3 *wonderful* musicians covering a great Neil Young deep cut that's about... post-environmental apocalypse? They're doing it on Letterman w/ Ben Franklin's glass harmonica... Very strange. Gorgeoos.

My son seems to think that I’m not crazy enough or petty enough to actually write, record, and release a song about how he needs to go pee before bedtime.

I just had a nightmare that I accidentally group texted the entire contents of my phone to all of my saved contacts.

Fuck AI.

“Lump limped along at subsonic speeds.” Same, girl. Same.

I turned 50 today and I'm feeling very introspective. 50 is a lot of years to have behind me. I can still remember being teased by my former LucasArts Audio colleagues because I was so young. Now I'm the old man who's been at this for close to 30 years.

Adios, my 40s. Hello, over-th-hilledness.

Hey! Check it out! #Arrhenius is now up on the @ttrpgwiki.bsky.social. I know Arrhenius isn't a rules lite game, so no surprise on the Complexity score. But check out those nice Accessibility and Runnability scores! ttrpgwiki.com/systems/arrh...
