Hello hello! I was the person who stepped up in 2025 to “organize” Lost Levels. Something I love about the event is that it springs forth each year from the community vs. having structured organization. The old website used to say as much: that the event belongs to whomever shows up.

YIKES! Illinois folks, it took me 20 seconds to oppose this bill requiring age verification at the operating system level.

Our adventure will (optionally) include feeling the sand under our #GDCFeet, a labyrinth, and everyone’s favorite: a mysterious and ancient sea cave. Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen! There’s also an easy out midway at the Cliff House if you’d like to leave early or join late!

At the most recent Olympics, someone from Team USA traded me their team pin for my Quiplash pin! It was really special to hear that games I’d worked on were helping the athletes relax and get to know each other.

This is beautiful! I’ve been really curious about machine knitting, but often see a much chunkier result from consumer machines. Which machine are you using to reach this level of detail?

aaaa thank you for bringing this to my attention! purchased! lately, i’ve been really interested in the theme of teaching community/scene building through games. any other recommendations for games that cover this?

Lena Guerrero @lenagrrarrow.com · 25/03/2025

this hits. i’ve gotten feedback that i’m too forgiving or open, but it usually boils down to forgetting i’ve accepted this as a good thing, for the most part. if something is important, i write it down or store it in the minds of those i trust to guide me

Mysterious sidewalk tunnels in the middle of the city are like catnip for game devs

A hatch open in the middle of a San Francisco sidewalk, revealing a tunnel underground. A bunch of game developers are circled around it, taking photos.

A better shot of the tunnel itself. It's lined with walls of brick, and has a set of stairs on one side and a rusty metal slide on the other. There's a tile floor inside with a pile of boxes.

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.
