If you’re feeling nostalgic Angry Orchard’s Headless Pumpkin cider tastes like a you’re drinking the smell of a JOANN Fabrics store. It’s basically undrinkable but it did bring back memories.

Social media is for sure a bummer now for so many reasons. Deleting my Twitter account was such a huge help to my mental health. I’m still really bummed to have lost connections with so many awesome people but I was in a state of burnout beyond repair and quitting cold turkey helped.

Got another "I don't like your game because Snorpy and Chandlo are gay" emails. If you are going to do this please remember Lizbert and Eggabell kiss in the first few minutes of the game and are gay gay lesbian gya gaaayyyyy. It's simple media literacy.

Having a kid is funny because they pick up your mannerisms and all you can really do is watch in horror as another more cartoony version of you exists. The parental experience is basically the plot to Gremlins.

Absolutely incredible weekend at PAX even tho it was short. I started the year not able to walk doing physical therapy and hanging out in MRI machines, I honestly didn’t think I’d make it back to a show anytime soon. It was also amazing to be doing adaptive gaming stuff again after a few years.

At @themix.bsky.social event at PAX there was a game shown called Serious Bigness where you play as a tiny kaiju who wants to be big, who grows when you smash stuff. I have a kid who’s really into Godzilla, Katamari & Donut County we’re stoked for this. store.steampowered.com/app/4950640/...

While CEO's see "AI" as tool to ensure they no longer have to pay/depend on people, workers adopting "AI" get taught that skills they don't have/other professions are worth less. This destruction of worker solidarity and interdisciplinary collaboration is a core function of the "AI" discourse.

Today is my last day at PAX there’s still some people I haven’t seen yet so hopefully we run into each other. I’ll be in the summit building most of the day. Also fyi I have a mustache now, it’s me, I know it’s weird at first. My kid makes me have a mustache because that’s what cartoon dads have.

If you’re looking for a lighter controller with good joysticks this is a solid controller for playing on PC. The remappable buttons are on the top of the controller which is helpful if you’re coordinated like me and can’t really use buttons on the back of Xbox Elite / DualSense Edge controllers.

Every game that has come out in the last 10 years has already had a remake but we can’t get a new NBA Jam or NBA Street Homecourt? We’re looking at the final years of LeBron James’ basketball career and there’s no good arcade basketball game… LeBron James deserves better.

My son watched a cartoon where the dad said “I need to get cleaned up” then shaved his beard into a mustache. For a week my son told me to get “cleaned up” and now I have a mustache. I look like if Super Mario was just Standard Mario.
