The number of times I’ve spent ages trying to figure something out, not to watch a five second clip of how to do something and then get it immediately on my next try 🤦🏻‍♀️

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Hey, I hate to ask, but if you read my game writing guide and found it helpful in any way, I'd appreciate a review. Someone decided to give me 2 stars because it was too "woke" for them and it hurt my rating 🫠 www.amazon.com/Game-Writing...

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

If you play games, you need to follow this couple. They find bargains and sales from all over the place and post them conveniently so you can shop anytime. And unlike a lot of sites, they don't just do Amazon, so you can order from a LOT of sources. I love 'em. Again, not paid, just love games.

Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

I had wanted to see it because I love Bjork, but the reviews put me off of it hard. I don't love depressing things, though I'm sure it's well done.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

When game dev layoffs happened, I used to post a Tweet in support of those who’d lost their jobs. Now they happen so often that I can’t keep up. Sending love to the Crystal Dynamics folks today. And everyone else who’s been laid off 😔

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
