No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Amazing time in Vancouver with @nickfunk.com at The Midnight concert!! Got to be there for soundcheck, meet Tyler, and ended up getting one of the band’s setlists at the end too ✨

VERY excited to share this big project. Many games are made in Canada, but few are *set* here.  So, I spoke to 20+ devs who have been making all kinds of games that take place in Canada.  From showcasing stunning landscapes to telling diverse stories, these games paint a vivid portrait of Canada. 🍁

Canada rarely gets to play itself -- these games are changing that

From showcasing stunning geography to telling diverse stories, here's how developers are representing Canada in their games.

Some people seem to get a little annoyed when I spend a good chunk of my design talks on good communication and the ability to trust and delegate being absolutely vital to team dynamics… but truly, over the years I have seen SO many incredibly skilled teams fall apart and it’s miserable for all 😭

Really wanted to make something to celebrate TLD Wintermute Episode 5, so here are Astrid and Mackenzie in my first attempt to "paint" using polymer clay! I very much hope players enjoy the episode, and am so thankful I got to play a part in its completion ❄️❄️❄️ @thelongdark.bsky.social

A magnet out of polymer clay featuring Astrid and Mackenzie close together, with an aurora behind them. The magnet is lying on snow.

A few different photos of the magnet - showing one on the fridge, one in my hand, and a WIP version on my messy crafting desk

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

The moments without anger get shorter every day. I keep iterating “There is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for” in my head to keep feeling, to keep going.
