Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 14/09/2026also a newer fan, it’s interesting because monaco seems totally defensible to me as “historic”, or “quirky” or “unique”, but building a *new* track with a similar race day feels against the spirit of the sport…somehow. 010
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 08/09/2026sure, PAX was fun but the big megacorp everyone hates right now didn’t have a booth so was it even worth it? 010
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 30/07/2026hard to trust something called “Captive WiFi” 010
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 11/07/2026nice! i’ve never climbed in colorado but obviously it looks awesome! 000
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 28/06/2026it captures the *feeling* of making a game, even if it gets aesthetic things wrong. and as others have said, the author doesn’t give brenda romero her due credit which is ironic considering the themes of the book. in my opinion it’s ultimately not an insurmountable flaw. 020

Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 26/01/2026saw it for the first time a few years ago and didn’t find any fault too large to keep me from loving the movie! 010
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Love the Jackbox mention at the end, happy to be making the alternative to the nightmare that is adult scheduling. 000
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Well well, my talk on team dynamics is on YouTube! Never mind the slide loading issues, they do not persist.

Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Excited for him but so sad to see Andrew Schulz up there…the contrast! 000
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 09/12/2025great video. longtime destiny player (stopped after final shape), I decided against playing the new borderlands because of its reliance on these mechanics. 000
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 05/12/2025My guess is the Switch would struggle a lot to render the game. Maybe Switch 2? They got Cyberpunk somehow. 110
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 30/11/2025loved the film having both Blanc’s rant at the beginning and father Jud’s call with Louise 010
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Finished it today, it’s really good! Didn’t expect to hear the word “playtest” so many times! 020
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 11/11/2025I'm at 70 hours...and even with that, had someone a few weeks ago start telling me about something I had never heard of (search "Atelier Blueprints Maze" if you want). 020
Michael Siciliano @mikesochill.bsky.social · 24/10/2025And to be clear - the “reduction” in price is really coming from no longer including vault access with the talk pass. I think it’s great those aren’t bundled by default, but the obvious solution is to decouple expo hall access from talk access and provide three price points: expo, talks, talks+vault 010
