He/him or they/them. I used to do game jams a lot and organized a couple of interesting ones (piratekart.com). Professionally, I helped make way too many sports games. Now I work at themeaningfullifecenter.com

Tried to be more interesting by having you manipulate the already-fallen tiles, but, predictably, controlling the falling one is more fun, so I guess I'm making that game instead #fallingblockjam

Send us your experimental game — we wanna help you show it off! Get a chance to share your project onstage at GDC next spring, and help us inspire more people to make strange and experimental projects that change how we think about games. <3

It didn't take much for us to not get mad at Getting Over It! I mean, we got mad, but in a good way.

For a brief moment I actually thought directing attention to under-appreciated games and their designers was the POINT of OotSS. If someone with less reprehensible politics wanted to work with folks to package niche stuff into something that could get wider notice, that'd be rad as hell

Manwë told me Melkor keeps harrying the Firstborn of Ilúvatar so I asked how many Elves he has and he said he just goes to Middle-Earth and invites more Elves on the Great Journey so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding the Quendi to Morgoth and then Nienna started crying.

Since I saw the board game Tsuro, I think I've been kinda waiting for the right excuse to steal them tiles for something, and now there's a spaghetti-themed jam! I just hope I can find time to finish something despite my weekend having been busy #FallingBlockJam

I know ppl are mad about a perceived drop in quality or w/e but I watched the Avatar Seven Havens trailer with my (19yo) daughter and it went: Her: Wow, they made Korra even hotter. Me: Ok it's not just me.

I remember how with Google Glass they tried to convince us that not wanting a camera pointed at us was some kinda bigotry and it's heartening to remember how thoroughly they failed.

Oof. I tried writing up a thing to explain some concepts that I think are under-explained in everything I've been able to find on the topic. I showed my spouse a draft, thinking I'd done a passable job, but clearly not. At least five terms in the introduction confused her. She has a PhD.

It seems kinda evitable to me. Like a few good court decisions along the lines of "no, you don't own what the plagiarism machine makes" and the ROI math becomes unignorably bad?

I wanted to see what it looked like to generate a blue noise-ey pattern from an aperiodic tiling. And it's still cool to me that we have a single tile that can do it.

Part of me understands how it works and thinks its super neat. Another part is dead certain that it should not be possible that I can put my eye up to a hologram of a microscope and have it just work like that and the Museum of Illusions is run by witches.

Within a couple weeks of each other, both of my daughters became interested in programming and asked me for guidance on it, each unaware the other had done so 🥲

I didn't super believe in the 10x programmer until somebody pointed out I absolutely believe in the 0.1x programmer (and negative, for that matter). So I guess I DO believe the torment nexus can radically improve productivity, but in a yikes way

"I'm sure of my talent and I'm sure of my love for life."
do you ever feel that you're a joke

all these years, the people thought the joke was on me, but the joke's actually been on the public

i'm sure of myself as a person, I'm sure of my talent and I'm sure of my love for life. I like the person I am, so I can afford to around with makeup and clothes because i'm secure with myself.
