I’m ordering DoorDash right now. Wednesday night is poppin’ off.

If you followed me after that layoffs tweet a couple weeks back I’m sorry. This is what it’s actually like here most of the time.

Sometimes you just gotta take an edible and stare up at the ceiling light for a couple of hours.

an utter lack of curiosity is a defining quality of the worst people u know

As a maker of exceptionally sexless art, I just wanna say publicly that any attempt at censorship of the arts is to be resisted. NSFW art is always an easy target, but it’s also always only the first step in a chain, not to mention the artistic value of this stuff in its own right.

The Final Fantasy XIV soundtrack rules because 90% of it is comprised of some of the loveliest orchestral pieces in video games, and then they'll say "fuck it, this boss is getting a Nine Inch Nails song"

Girl, same.

@rangutang.bsky.social I remember the movie! Just not making the list. 😆

Reader’s Choice 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century. My Ballot: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Erin Brockovich, The Holdovers, The Host, The Zone of Interest, 28 Years Later, The Assistant, What We Do in the Shadows, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Moon.

Went back through my camera roll and found this. Edibles must’ve been involved because I don’t remember doing this.

Not a terrible list. Honestly, makes a lot of sense the more I look at it. 😅

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're "on the D" and see Picard in red uniform sitting on the bridge in his captain's chair. Looks like he's stewing about something. (Pun intended) Closed caption reads, "("Stars and Stripes Forever" plays loudly)"

It honestly breaks my heart that this resonated with so many people.

workers deserve rights actually

really hot take, i know, but companies shouldn't just do violence to us all the time to extract profit from our husks

To anyone being hit by layoffs today,

It's not you. It's them. It isn't your fault. It's theirs. You didn't do anything wrong. They did.

They fucked up. Not you.

*spins the existential dread wheel and watches as it somehow lands on both "the game industry is fucked" and "the country is cooked" at the same time* Ah. Nice.

If the only thing you walked out of #28YearsLater with is a couple of dick jokes then I don’t know what to tell you.

There’s so much more there. What a beautiful film.

Me every morning these days.

I finally did the thing. I did it, you guys. I worked hard, saved enough money finally to pay off my student loans and started investing in my retirement. I did it!

Oh, fuck.

What a year to be off work lol

Hey. This ride fucking sucks.

Just put them in front of drag queens. They’d never survive.

Can we bring back the whole ‘publicly shaming people on a small wooden platform while loudly booing and throwing old tomatoes at them’ thing from medieval times?

I feel like that would heal something in me.

Milchick matching the mood for today. #severance

The lawsuit includes an apparent threat by the Strains to report "misconduct by NetEase" to Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

I thought I the new #severance episode today was going to be the biggest mindfuck I had to deal with today.

Turns out it's this instead!

All I'll say is that the Crop Circle team is incredible and was a career highlight for me.

And I wish it were easier to make more games without millionaires.

Looking at these court docs is something else. A year ago we all lost our jobs, & the reason given was “an employee talked to a journalist so we had to shut down the studio.” But now, in their own telling, it was actually bc one investor told another investor not to trust them, so the money dried up
