scheduling recurring events in your early 20s is keeping saturday nights free in case something comes up or you want to go out scheduling recurring events in your late 20s/early 30s is playing D&D most saturdays for the foreseeable future and being thrilled about that

Me, when you try to check out a file I'm working on:

next time my bluetooth speakers start stuttering, remind me to not spend an hour trying to figure it out on my own when all my husband has to do is literally NUDGE it and it magically works again :|

have you ever seen a more perfect wild magic barb (and her mysterious dwarven guardian)

a screenshot of character create from Baldur's Gate 3. She is a strong pink tiefling with dark hooked horns. Her eyes are burning yellow and she has a white tattoo based around her eye that waves out onto her forehead and neck. She has purple textured hair in a half-up style.

A full body side shot of the tiefling. She is tall and strong. You can see her long demon tail.

A dwarven woman in Baldur's Gate 3. She has white hair pulled back into a long high ponytail. She has purple eyes and winged eye makeup. She has scars on her right cheek and her nose. Yellow rune tattoos start at her forehead and run through her left eye down to her jaw line.

i broke my "never been to the hospital for myself" streak on thursday by way of an upper endoscopy in the ER after getting a large piece of food stuck in my throat i could still breathe, so honestly as far as "first visit to the ER"s go...

thats right bluesky game dev squad, i lured you in with industry talk and now you have to see some of the pictures from my wedding last month you absolute fools

the bridal party poses around the bride and groom. there are four bridesmaids with floor length sage dresses with different necklines, two bridesmen with gray suits and sage bow ties, and six groomsmen with gray suits and sage ties. the groom wears a dark green suit with a floral tie. the bride's dress looks as if it is covered in vine and leaf appliques.

the bride leans into the groom as they both laugh. detail shot of the bouquet. it has a large white dahlia, several other white flowers, and then a lot of greenery including ferns and monstera leaves.

the bride and groom kiss at the sweetheart table. so many plants. all the plants.

a photo of the hanging installation above the head table. it is a huge burst of different greenery and plants.

happens in game dev too. assholes can manage to go to new studios without them knowing their reputation. it doesn't necessarily mean their new studio is bad--these people are good at hiding their true form. it does mean, however, that you shouldnt knowingly work there as long as the asshole is there

question for #GameDev fam -- after leaving a studio did you have stress nightmares from it? how long did they last? i know a handful of folks who have but we share a common denominator so i'm trying to spread the question. did it happen right away, or after your stress levels went down?

Going to be the opposite of Twitter and view every thought on Bluesky in the best possible light. If someone says “I like pancakes”, I will think “this person potentially also likes waffles, which are also delicious” Yes bitch, that is a supportive viewpoint, that’s what we are all talkin bout

If you're games industry and following some folks already, reply with who you are and what you do, and then re-post this or whatever it's called. Let's try and find each other on this new place

All Game Designers want is clear specs, a little bit of creative freedom, and to not have to deal with Jira for task tracking.
