Tfw you write a song 4 different times and the melody you like best is the first one you came up with. New lyrics are much better though.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

I helped make a Steam Sale, and it's right next to Control: Resonant! gdoc.events/sale2026 Fantastic sale filled with games made by people of color from AROUND THE WORLD. Check it out! (And please share it too 😉)

it could be a niche historical thing, a pop culture thing, even A PERSON (gasps in the audience) for real, my advice as someone who's been a salaried game designer for almost 20 years is to just, obsess about something, anything, then make something, see you on the other side

Very petty and pedantic but I want to remind people chastising trans people for “doing nothing” if they’re considering not voting for an anti-trans candidate, that you can actually influence your community and local politics even when it’s not an election day. You can do it so many other days too!

This is my main beef with Blueprints. Something as simple as obj1.function(obj2.property) is eight clicks—with typing in between! And that’s not including soft obj ptrs! Accessibility to non-coders wins out and I’ll be sad to see it go for that reason alone, but man.

Request for all you tool designers out there: reduce the amount of clicks it takes to do something No, reduce it more If I'm clicking, I'm not writing or designing and it disrupts my flow. Plz, I beg of you, fewer clicks. You can do it. I believe in you

No, Link is not “too wet” in the Zelda remake That’s an innovative new gameplay mechanic called Hylian Juice. Link needs to stay moist or he dies. You will have hours of fun maintaining your Juice Meter

The face of a dog who very likely saved me from getting bit by a rattlesnake that snuck up on us while sitting at a picnic table. She jumped back and started pulling at her leash, and I was able to get away as its tail started rattling. Good girl, Twyla!

Black and white mutt curled up on the couch and giving me the side eye, oblivious to the fact that she is a hero.

Wrapped my Street Kid playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 (picked the DLC-exclusive ending, which felt fitting). Now it’s spooky season so I want to start a horror/adjacent game. Thinking: The Sinking City Gloomwood South of Midnight The Axis Unseen Alien: Isolation (replay) Any recommendations?

Pretty sure I got the Bad Ending in Phantom Liberty, and I've been reflecting on whether I want to go back and make different choices. But at the same time, every choice I made in the moment was right for the V I played and the ending I got felt meaningful for that reason.

Focusing on your craft does very little. Games, movies, etc that are bad are not bad because the people making them are bad at their jobs individually. They're bad because the people making them were unable to coordinate. Learning a lil of other peoples' jobs is what will make you better at yours

The happiest a writer gets is when they’re sketching the map at the beginning of fantasy books and naming places that will never show up in the story. Making some zigzag line mountains and labeling them “The Widow’s Teeth”
