So, Tokyo, how bad can a Level 3 Landslide Warning for the neighborhood I’m in really be?

Realized that Meet, Teams, Slack, Discord, Zoom and other video call apps handle camera mirroring differently. Apologies to all of the partners and indie devs I've spoken to recently who were confused by the mirrored NATAS decks hanging behind me...

A screen capture of Natas Kaupus' Wikipedia page reading: "In 1987, Kaupas had his debut role in the Santa Cruz skateboarding video Wheels of Fire. In the film, Kaupas displayed an ability to ollie which far surpassed anyone else, and his part is considered to have paved the way for the new direction of skateboarding. This role gave Kaupas a sudden jolt of notoriety, however attention was soon turned to the spelling of his first name, as 'Natas' spelled backwards is 'Satan'. Kaupas attempted to explain his name as being the masculine version of the Lithuanian female name 'Natalija'. Despite this however, many schools and shops instituted a ban on any merchandise bearing the name 'Natas'."

Friends! I'll be making my 16th or so visit to GDC in San Francisco from March 9th - 13th. #GDC2026 will be pretty quiet this year, but find me walking around talking about #indiedev, publishing, co-dev, and game development. If you're working on any exciting new games, I'd like to see them!

Thinking of starting a screen capture series of the 90s punk posters and fliers hanging on the walls of the university stoner victims/suspects in old Law & Order episodes. So many good ones! #pinkskyPost
