there was no force on this earth that was going to prevent me from helping our game studio get funded. this game fucking rules & i am so goddamn excited we get to finish building it on our own terms. plenty of hard work ahead, but so grateful I get to keep enjoy doing it at @gardens.dev

Equally thrilled and humbled to announce that our studio has secured $35M+ in our Series B to develop our upcoming "strandbox" game Gardens. Some new hints to what the Gardens grow, new key art, and a sign up for our Closed Pre-Alpha Playtests, in our new blog post! gardens.dev/blog/gardens...

🧙‍♂️ Very thankful for an amazing adventure party 🧙‍♂️

what people are missing about the whole tarik skubal situation is that no baseball player is any better than any other baseball player. some were for quite a long time, but in 1979 the lord struck down one and all and condemned them to wear only one glove. now they're all wretches in god's sight

we'll be posting a couple more roles later today. come work with us

we're hiring for two Technical Gameplay Designer roles: one for Player Abilities & Combat and one for Creatures. come join our adventuring party! ✅ fully WFH studio (US + Canada) ✅ competitive salaries & benefits, pay transparency ✅ incredible team, exciting project! gardens.dev/careers

Dark Souls 2 is so mechanically obtuse that it makes me love it more. Armor is basically meaningless and a full Havel’s set has the same damage reduction as a single specific ring. Poise is fake. Your I-frames are dictated by two arbitrary stats that both contribute to a third arbitrary stat. ❤️

Christopher Nolan has said fans won’t see his next movie for “at least” three years, after directing The Odyssey pushed him to his limits. https://bit.ly/3T7d7E0

the odyssey is proof of a thing that has been true my entire life: conservatives are giant fucking dorks with zero cultural sway or pull because they are giant fucking dorks

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The world cup obviously has a loooooooooong history of corruption and hosting nations being given unfair advantages but a host nation actively hindering another side in the tournament (as the US did with Iran) is a reason why frankly anything the USMNT wins in this tournament is hollow.
