Or Cuck Schumer, since he really does seem to love watching his people get fucked

I'll drop you a line post-GDC. Hope you have a great show!

This is so fucked. So so sooooooooo fucked. My heart goes out to the all those people who joined Wildlight to make a living and build a cool game.

For my people outside of games:

This is about a lot of things but none of those are "this failed because it's a bad game."

Not for me this year sadly but we are overdue!

The stickers are the hard part for me. Especially while he's looking over my shoulder. Can't mess these up! But yeah, the rest of it snaps together easily, this is great.

An unboxed, unbuilt Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage toy with all the pieces still inside a brown cardboard sleeve.

Will it break me or will I break it? (Hopefully neither of these things happens.)

I'm about to build a 3-foot-tall Hot Wheels... thing for my kid. Let's see how this goes....

Oh yeah, don't bother lol

It's hard not to look at Dutchess County, NY closing schools today when the weather is best described as "light snow, with rain later" as the teachers and admin just wanting to fuck off for the day. (Which I support, teachers work HARD.)

Journalism request! 🌟

I'm writing a story about the VR industry in 2026, and I'm looking to speak with people at GDC who've been in it over the past decade and can speak to where it was and what it's like now. If that's you, DM me here!

Happy birthday!!

'The Artful Escape' review: A space-rock celebration of live music This interactive audiovisual smorgasbord is steeped in an immense love for music and live performance.

Yesssssssssssssssssssss. So hype for this new one from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the team behind my PFP (and The Artful Escape aka my favorite game of 2021.)

this was funnier in my head

Well said. 💜 Thanks.

I hope you find what you're looking for!

Things are so so terrible right now, and the unfortunate truth is it's hardest to give ourselves grace at times when we need it the most.

If it helps: Try to hang on to the idea that age is just a number. I'm 48 and still working on a career transition that started 4 years ago. You can do this.

*first gen

wtf is that autocorrect????

I have the stage gen Bose Ultras, which I love. Never used XMs but I do have Sony's WF earbuds from a bunch of years ago (XM3) that I still use to this day, and they also sound fantastic. I think either way you're getting best-in-class headphones.

HOLY SHIT

Yup across the board

Appropriately, I had to delete the first version of the post and tweak it

An appreciation post:

Editors perform such an important and undersung role in helping an audience understand things.

Thank you to all the editors who have helped me not look like a jackass in public. Thank you for killing my darlings. For murdering every last one of those sniveling little shits.

Ehhh, not so much "sprawled across the whole internet" - chatrooms and forums are that, too. But I feel like Twitter mainstreamed that immediacy of global communication in a way the AOLs and CompuServes of the world did before broadband.

Yeah, exactly. That was the core appeal of Twitter when I first joined. All the fun of online forums or chatrooms, but sprawled across the whole internet. Great way to meet people, make friends, share interests. That's the good shit.

More than that even: Actively engaging too heavily with the worldslop that surfaces on platforms like this has a (provably!) deleterious mental health impact. I don't want that for myself or anyone else!

I lived inside a social media firehose for the 5+ years I was weekend editor during my 7 years at Mashable. So while I'm as susceptible to doomscrolling and emotion-driven soapboxing as anyone, I also believe deep down, philosophically that these simply aren't and never were good platforms for that.

This is a great articulation of something I think about pretty much every morning when I plug back into the dreamscape/hellscape that is social media
