A person wants to dress nice for once and gets called a witch and baba yaga (affectionately). Honestly not mad about it.

Got the diagnosis. 😭 It doesn’t change anything except that now I know there’s at least one doctor that believes me and it’s enough.

As a young person with a huge impostor syndrome who uses walking aid, not believing I actually deserve to be using it—this is heartbreaking.

I’m just glad that in my company the employees don’t allow for genAI stuff to go live, and it’s used as placeholders only. I’m not happy about us using it at all, but the people in charge are still deluded that it speeds up the work (spoiler: it very rarely does).

I don’t think you’ll find many companies (except for some indie projects) that don’t use genAI at some point during the production.

kets @ketsie.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Yeah, that’s unfortunately the new norm in Polish gamedev (and everywhere else as well). Execs keep pushing AI on the employees, even if they don’t want to use it.

In all seriousness though, it’s been about 8 years since I started trying to get diagnosed and each time something happened that interrupted the process and I had to get the same tests done all over again and then I gave up. It’s hell.

I’m the closest I’ve ever been to my chronic illness diagnosis, but the last time I was pretty close I got diagnosed with cancer, so maybe I won’t celebrate just yet. 😆

gamedev interviews be like: it was really good talking to you and you meet the requirements, but here’s a thing in your portfolio completely unrelated to the job that we think was not done well enough, so it’s going to be a no.

That thing turned out to be trash, burned as hell. I did manage to find something much better, though!

Saw the new Tommy Wiseau movie yesterday and it instantly became one of the best bad movies I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a lot of them.

Wasn’t as bad as it is now back when the war started. Got much, much worse over time.

No dinosaurs yet, but I had so much fun creating again.

Turned out it started working by itself, using the same methods I previously tested which at that time were not working. But hey, I won’t complain, at least I have both of my cameras operational now.

Now that Adam’s gone to GDC, the cat is even more clingy—which I thought to be impossible. He’s perfect.

Maybe it’s my multi-year break from this game, but Overwatch is actually fun again.

The digital camera still doesn’t work, it’s most probably a firmware issue but I can’t fix it without a cable. So a 20-minute fix turns out taking much longer.

Oh yeah, this. 👆

And once again—just as every piece has begun to fit together and my world felt more peaceful—everything went to shit. Somehow I still have my job, but many of my colleagues weren’t so lucky. I was really proud of what we were doing.

that rare feeling when you propose stuff for the game and it gets listened to and your work is appreciated

another day of living my dream the way things are in the industry doesn’t help me love it, but despite all i do appreciate working in gamedev

Saw Iron Lung yesterday and I honestly think it’s a good game adaptation. I almost screamed of joy when Simon first used the camera, it was so similar of a vibe as when playing the game. Not a perfect movie by far, but good enough to recommend.
