Friend: Sign language is amazing. They managed to come up with a sign for everything! Me: ...Are you messing with me? Friend: No, why...? Me: You have one organ that makes glorified fart noises. They have a whole body for expression. Frankly, they should be throwing you peanuts for doing tricks.

If I could legally mandate that every other discipline in game dev had to do QA for a year, I would.

I have cochlear implants these days; same problem with batteries and beeps - back when I used aids, I used Phonaks.

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that reading a vintage version of Mary Shelly‘s Frankenstein on the balcony of a quaint château in the French countryside whilst sipping a glass of Chenin Blanc and having a plate of emotional support croissants “won’t fix you."

Against all expectations the new Lanterns series has gotten off to a good start. Fingers crossed!

Also worth noting that Sovereign Tower is the first game I have bought off Steam that opens with the Godot logo. It’s definitely making some inroads!

Really enjoyed The Incandescent by Emily Tesh. Mostly because it’s a Magic school story told from the teachers point of view. Nice to have the pov of a professional forty-something to whom things are going wrong. Very wrong..but that’s magic for you..a bit like software..

Was talking to someone the other day who thought JK had invented the wizard school genre. LeGuin immediately entered the chat. Although I suspect it’s older than that..

Another day, another round of panic and screaming as everything breaks; another intricate bug sent to the bowels of computational hell ( probably the MS Excel internals ). I am enjoying this project! Shame about the NDA!

Finally bought a new game: Sovereign Tower - kind of a round table simulator. Haven’t gotten far ( it’s hard ) but am enjoying it!

Really disappointed with everything in Supergirl. How is it possible to spend millions on a film and systematically strip away everything that made the source material good?
