"Level 0" Luke Rideout

I asked, her response was "My mom likes it", so I guess still a win for the cashier, since my mother-in-law is still technically Korean family.

The lady at the cash register at Paris Baguette asked me if I have any Korean family because I was buying a bunch of anpan.

I mean yes, my wife is Korean, so she guessed correctly, but I just lived in Japan for 14 years and prefer less sweet East Asian snacks. I’m not sure my wife even likes anpan.

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

A small torbie cAt is curled up on a gray couch cushion with a white towel folded behind her. Her tail curls up around her haunch, and her rear leg is extended slightly out beyond her face. She has a peaceful sleeping face.

Happy lazy, cozy Caturday from Maruko and me.

Tutorial from Baldur's Gate. (The first game). Dialog window. Character asks "Tell me about THAC0."

If you can answer this question this is your reminder to schedule a colonoscopy.

A lot of ppl I know

Before this video: Sam Altman should be removed from public life and imprisoned for the damage he's done to the world.

After watching this video:

The Outer Worlds 2 on Steam The Outer Worlds 2 is the sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment.

The Outer Worlds 2 is now available on your major platform of (Auntie's) choice.

The only drawback to doing this is that I have to stop and giggle to myself for the entire runtime of the Order segments on the how the average color of space is beige, or Fabwich, the perfectly mathematically formulated sandwich.

Not just missing out on like 3.5 hours of music composed specifically for each of the 3 main game factions, but a ton of talk radio content that adds miles of depth to the game's lore and reacts to your actions.

I had the pleasure of being involved with the audio team on OW2, and the music and radio were some of the most exciting things to work on in the project for me.

Interleave, one of the studios we worked with, is producing a behind the scenes on the music that will be a fantastic watch, guaranteed.

I am disappointed to report that a friend, due to a mishap with autocorrect said “straight up dog” in Discord, instead of “dmg”, and I set that one up with a perfect, pristine “What’s ‘up dog’?”, but he completely fumbled the spike.

I think about this a lot.

Ryoko Kui Portraits Pack 105 MC portraits drawn by manga author Ryoko Kui. 21 portraits for dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings and humans.

Didn't really intend to mod Baldur's Gate II, but the Ryoko Kui (Dungeon Meshi author) portrait pack, including the ones she made of the actual BG1/2 cast (!!!) is a must.

(And I think simple enough to work on Steam Deck with a little desktop mode fiddling)

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but to any indie devs feeling bad because their game didn't sell or wasn't played as much as you wanted:

You still made a god damn video game. You did it, and that's harder than anything most people will do. I'm proud of you, you did great.

It’s been a day of milestones for me - Outer Worlds 2 launched, of course, but I’ve also made it to the gym and done an hour on the treadmill for the 100th day in a row without missing, and I’ve also lost almost exactly 100 lbs since this time last year. Small personal wins but I’m happy for me.

My pal Julia is too fucking cool. The game’s super cute too.

I'm thrilled and honored to have been a part of the team that brought The Outer Worlds 2 to life.

Massive kudos to the amazing folks I worked with on the game's audio and gameplay teams, and really looking forward to hearing what everyone's favorite radio station is (Mine's Grand Plan Wireless).

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

Today marks the two-year anniversary of a great modern sci-fi show: Scavengers Reign. 🥰

A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Zidane is absolutely getting smacked in the nuts by those free-hanging belts any time he moves at any speed higher than a careful creep.

And now it’s Space Station 13.

according to the Gildersneeze scale: all of these draculas are draculas of some kind

if you suffer from draculism (the illness what makes you a dracula) you're a dracula that's pretty much how it goes

remember this halloween season: don't go in spooky houses a dracula probably lives there.
