Reposted by LaceyMae @maenots.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The first game I ever made, BroodStar (yes, it's named after the MtG card) is currently on sale for 50% off! It's a shmup roguelite that's easy to get into if you're new to both genres but also has a high skill ceiling for those who aren't. store.steampowered.com/app/1232100/... 24016

Lacey @leissmusic.bsky.social · 01/08/2026finance.yahoo.com/healthcare/a... "The bitter irony is that [...] the fabled "greatest wealth transfer in history"—is evaporating in real time." No duh.

Lacey @leissmusic.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I'm happy that I freelance when I see things like this. Noncompete clauses are destructive to livelihoods. Especially in the games industry where you can be laid off within a year of uprooting your entire life to start a job in another part of the country. This is like salt on a wound. 010
Lacey @leissmusic.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I think video games should be more bold with immersive indoor soundscapes. I don't want to only hear passing cars and rain. I want to hear the distant sounds of water cooler smalltalk and someone pooping loudly nextdoor 030
