Look Things are bad BUT HOCKEY IS BACK. Can’t wait for my Sharks to give the Tkachuks the lumber on Thursday.

Sad to not have been able to pick up a JDM Seiko 5 Field Series while I was in Japan but I did pick up my dream watch while I was here 👀:

Very excited to have the new version of my Plugin Manager code merged into the @obsproject.com codebase for v33! It has a bunch of behind-the-scenes changes in how plugins are loaded/stored in OBS, and will enable a bunch of amazing new features for OBS users. And huge thanks to @warchamp7.ca for...

Hey! So after seventeen and a half years, October 2nd will be my last day at IGN. It was genuinely a dream come true to do this thing for so long alongside some of the most talented people on earth. I got to travel the world, meet my heroes, and make a ton of really fun shows and videos. An honor ♥️

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

An incredibly illuminating interview here, both as a look at making Andor and understanding the skeletal structure of story. The entire series of conversations with the writers is terrific, but it’s Tom’s chat that burrowed deep into my brain.

The OBS project is one the most important pillars of a creators toolbox in the last decade and it’s free. Open source software is one of the few things that brings me joy, so supporting the team through Patreon is the easiest decision I’ve made in a long time.

In an age where user customization in apps is at an all time low, customizing a Linux distro or my terminal of choice feels so good. Being able to unify a theme across the entire OS is just brings me a sense of calm that I’ve never got from computing.

From not being a sports fan most of my life to being obsessed with the NHL, the past few months have been great. The game has a lot of veterans presence but also a ton of rookies that are playing just out of their minds. It’s really the best time to get into hockey.

Rogue One teaser trailer hit 10 years ago. The final moment blending the Force Theme and Imperial March still knocks me on my ass. Forever grateful for this movie, especially a decade later with two Andor seasons attached to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wji-...

The great thing about becoming an hockey fan this year is that the Sharks are much better than last year. The bad thing is watching them choke their playoff chances. At least Macklin Celebrini is fun as hell to watch.

If you want your computer to be reliable & fun, this is probably the best time in history to try Linux. Media & gaming support is pretty damn solid. I've been daily-driving Mint for months & I havn't had so much fun with a computer since Puppy was resurrecting my late 90s hardware back in the 00s.

Games need to be built differently. If every game lives or dies by its day-one, there is no future, period -- live games demand new production plans, and your first year needs runway/planning. For employees -- not content. Because you need those to make stuff. Infuriating and sad. Love to the team.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Anyway Expedition 33 is the game that should truly trigger full embracing of 'JRPG' as a descriptor of a certain subset of mechanics that emerged thru Japanese adaption of Wizardry, Ultima etc for consoles, rather than just 'RPGs made in Japan'. Diachronic process is real, language & context changes
