On Sunday I spent longer than I care to admit editing a photo of a cool photographer/journalist/podcaster's cat for a throwaway Star Trek in-joke. Hope y'all had a fun weekend too 😄

A few years ago I made an X-Files parody video for Old Motors. It recently occurred to me that this is something @victoriascott.bsky.social probably needs to see...

Got around to updating my demo reel. Definitely overdue - the last one I put together was four years ago! I've worked on two more expansions since then, plus other stuff. (I'm working on something else these days; I look forward to sharing that work too in the future.) vimeo.com/1199631789

Today my partner held up two jars and said the word "binks!" He stood there grinning ear to ear until the joke abruptly dawned on me. Get yourself someone who can absolutely demolish you out of nowhere with a visual Phantom Menace pun.

From a lovely photo meet @victoriascott.bsky.social organized! The highlight of the evening was meeting lots of cool people, but I did got a few shots with my 4-year-old iPod 😄

A shaded beach with distant mountains across the water and dramatic clouds in a partially clear sky

A crowd of people with cameras standing on a beach in evening sunlight, photographing a passing train. More people watch the train from a bridge over the train tracks.

A dimly lit beach. The last sliver of sun is setting, leaving a bright highlight across the dark water.

I don't know how to celebrate pride for @trangirlismo.bsky.social considering we are basically always us, but I am just going to say: I'm extremely proud of the show @victoriascott.bsky.social and I are making, and I think we make one of the most honest podcasts in the automotive sphere

Another podcast I've gotten really into is Be Gay Solve Crimes - a show that discusses detective movies (and sometimes detective games) from a trans perspective. A refreshing break from the increasingly "Be Crimes, Solve Gay" world I currently live in 🤡

1) I abandoned Google's search engine forever-ago 2) The way I know I've accidentally opened the wrong browser and done a Google search is that there's a confident-but-incorrect answer above all the links 3) Getting rid of the links and keeping the incorrect answer doesn't sound "convenient"

Sad to hear that my old friend Limmie Pulliam passed away this week. Not only was he an incredible singer, but a nice and often very funny guy. He also had an incredible ear and talent for mimicry, which could make his jokes especially silly or biting.

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

Submitted a comment on this today. Well worth speaking up. The trans community does not deserve to be treated like this. (And neither do all the groups who will inevitably be next.)

Listen, subconscious: while the "friends being laid off" dreams are an improvement on the "friends dying" dreams, they still ain't doing me any favors. Could we just go back to "having difficulty reading this menu" for a bit, please?

You'll need to excuse my complete lack of a singing voice - I wanted to make a parody song for @trangirlismo.bsky.social and no power on Earth could stop me.

Chat, is it bad if your therapist has to remind you that "we didn't start a nuclear war after all" can't really be characterized as "a good thing about this week"?

Long ago, at a company that no longer exists, I heard someone say our games needed to get better at "driving the compulsion loop." And, I mean, no disrespect toward that person - our studio was struggling to survive at that point. But I did think to myself: "Wow. Is that what we want?" 😐

Real talk: I got my start in the game industry working on little handheld movie tie-ins! They can absolutely be good games if 1) the dev team has the skill/resources/motivation make them good and 2) the client/managers grant that team the time/budget/leeway to make the game good.

Calling my credit card company to ask why they're destabilizing the industry I work in (and thus threatening the cash flow that funds every transaction I make with them) was not on my bucket list, but here we are. We had a long, polite, cordial chat. I plan to have more.

I'm several months late to the "four games I've worked on" party, but I'm doing it anyway! 🎮

A queer dev who worked on one of my favorite indie games (while homeless, I later learned in an interview??) is trying to flee to safety. Happily donating some of my Pride month mutual aid budget. If you're able to chip in too, that would be lovely. Even small amounts help. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

It was challenging to find a calm way of saying, "Hey, don't set the building you live in on fire because you don't like the people in apartment 12J. (Also, hi - my friends and family live in 12J, what the hell?)" Worth it, whether it makes a difference or not.
