Years of playing video games has prepared me for this very moment.
A long, drab hallway in beige, brown, and white stretches towards a point of light in the distance. The doors in the foreground, of which four are shown, are white, and have black question marks on them.

Pride month means it's illegal to say "let me get this straight" in meetings, you must say instead: "just so we're queer" "making sure we all have bi-in on this idea" "not to lose anything in trans-lation"

My ideal RPG is one with a massive, hulking monster companion who is a pacifist, but the first time you hit or hurt an innocent animal, it punches you in the head. …lightly.

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

wdym you didn’t grow up with the sexy carrots
A bag of baby carrots from the brand “Bunny-Luv”. The logo is a black and white rabbit on a purple heart. A distinctly feminine rabbit, slim, wearing a deep v-cut, long sleeve black shirt with a bow around her waist poses.She has lipstick and eyelashes and is holding a carrot and looking at it askance. Little hearts surround her head.

Not that I had intentions to do so, but I’m feeding right into the rumors of being a cryptid. Showing up briefly late at night to leave a comment or two before disappearing into the bayou. Befriending alligators and possums. Causing local dogs to bay into the dark.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.
The primary composition of the painting is in the contrast between the solemn jester (Stańczyk) – the focus of the painting – and the lively ball going on in the background.

I am ???% into a project that requires me to wade through AI slop to make it readable, and let me say with absolute certainty: I will *never* take on this kind of work again. It is exhausting and frustrating and so, so demeaning.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

I thought AI was supposed to make games faster than usual dev time. It’s been at least a year. Where they at? Where are the critically acclaimed, fully AI-powered games? Show them to me. Bring them forth. Let us see.

Two weeks ‘til Consume, my twine horror short, comes out. In it, you play a monster who puts out an ad looking for someone who consents to being eaten. Stay tuned.

Hello, dear friends. In a month’s time, I’ll be releasing my very first twine game, Consume. It’s gory, it’s horny, and it’s fraught - just the way you like it.
