A friend here in Japan has launched a kickstarter for some of the coolest playing cards you’ll ever find. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jac...

Tails of Mischief 2 - Art Playing Cards
Japanese-inspired hand-drawn art that hides a deck of playing cards, that weaves a journey, and becomes a table-top game.

I would be okay going back to referral only, or invitation access, P2P etc for an extended amount of time if it meant starving the AI companies. It’s a loss for knowledge-sharing, but would certainly preserve / prevent the bastardizing of that information.

This post spurred by going to one of the biggest electronics stores in Japan only to get to the register and find out they DON’T accept mobile payment like PayPay…

Bradley @bradleya.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
A growing pet peeve here is this inconsistency in accepted payment processes. Some places will be cash only, some mobile payment only, and it’s always a coin flip going to new places. Especially cafes. Regardless, by the end of the month, ONE of my budgeted spending streams will have run out.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

I keep seeing people throw out the term "Covid Correction" for the mass layoffs we continue to see in the games industry. We're beyond that. It's far beyond the mass hiring during Covid. It's mismanagement, poor trend chasing, cuts of departments to use AI (not as much but happening), etc.

Some of our social media posts are taking off for murder meet cute, and the comments are absolutely slaying me 😂
A tiktok reel that shows game of thrones role of crows in the reel, with captions explaining the person in the reel worked on it and the plucky squire. In the comments, we see one by Jane doe (literal username) saying 'was that a fucking nonogram' with an image of markiplier, legs up, ass out, looking ready to go.

All I hear is the sound of panic as that $1 trillion bill comes due and they are hoping that regulations give them a way to explain away a failed funding round so companies they owe don’t take them (and economies) for everything they’re worth. Honestly, let the captains sink with their ship.

If you work for a book publisher that has introduced AI at any point in the publishing process, I'm working on a story and would like you speak with you, on-record or off-. Same goes if you're an author and you've witnessed your publisher using AI at any point in the publishing process.

Coincidentally, even on packed trains my bag has never snagged on something. I’ve been here 16 years and last Thursday someone’s headphones, bag charm, etc snagged my backpack 3 times. I was even starting to think of how odd that was starting to get haha.

The off-season flu is really going around and thought to be brought in by tourists. It could be as simple as people with relatives in care not wanting to take the risk. Could also be them escaping the person on the other side of them and not you. Especially if they’re hearing sniffles or coughing.

Play-fighting with my boys and one of them passes my wife his sword and she goes: “Princesses don’t use swords.” And my oldest replies “Oh, right! You need a frying pan!” Now, where did he learn THAT from?😏

I also really appreciate Capcom’s attention to detail in not only the swordsmanship, but the body language too. Most Iaido-ka I know including myself do this. It’s surprisingly comfortable. Like what do you mean there’s an arm rest right here at my hip?

It was an honour and pleasure to lead a team of LQA Testers on Capcom’s Onimusha. Nothing short of a dream come true to work on the newest title of a series that I have such great memories of as a kid. I’m eternally grateful for Capcom’s team giving me the opportunity to contribute. 🙇‍♂️

In case anyone is wondering why trade talks between Canada and Trump failed, it's as simple as this: Trump demands that all international trade deals signed by Canada are subject to his approval. The Agent Orange President is mad as a hatter.
