Photograph of English countryside, clear, sunny blue skies with hills framing the background. There are green fields toward the hills, then trees, and then some brick houses close to the camera that have construction on the roof.

Trains + Sun + English countryside are my favourite. If trains weren't so expensive, probably.

Jealous to not have a garden! Happy birthday weekend Tami

Hope you enjoyed your blueberries and your pancakes Jeff 🥞🫐

Been a while since posting, hope you lot enjoyed WASD if you went. I'm tired of yapping lmao

Producer discourse again?

Okay.

If you're frightened of cuts, and you're holding on, you'll see producers tearing your darlings away.

But if you've made your peace, the producers are really angels, freeing you from scope creep.

I am now a PROFESSIONAL scrum master..... I PASSED BABY!!

Penny's Big Breakaway is actually so adorable lmao. I am affiliated with T2 (not my studio, but you may take this with a pinch of salt ha) but it's got a sweet nostalgic feel of old school platforming... And the music is so groovy.

My inner Sonic Adventure love is re-emerging. Didn't expect this 🤣

DID YOU CALL YOUR CAT JIRA?? This is amazing Tami 🤣

Damn I love my job

Back on the Sims 4 again... Back to creating yet again the 5th recreation of me 😵‍💫

I'm making it canon now that they all have different variations of my name, and they're all aliens from alternate universes except the OG one.

Although I don't know which one is the OG 😭

I always found it was strange that the leadership, comms and people skills aren't commonly spoken about for art directors, or art leadership positions in general. I've not seen these skills being taught to people aspiring to go into art leadership roles, only when they are in the position 🤔

Muscade is one of the best parts of my feed... so yes, absolutely 🐱

Woooow that totally transforms that space. I'm a little jelly. Might copy you 🤣

Contacts are so weird. Astigmatism in one eye just makes me hyper aware that my left eye exists 😩

Honestly the switch between education to career for me has felt like my brain has suddenly unlocked a new map area. Suddenly I know how to eat healthily and take care of my wellbeing. What is this sorcery? What happened to me??

Power to the Jacks of all trades! 💪
I love writing that in my resume, as much as people kept telling me to avoid it. I will say I'm a jack of all trades as much as I damn please! It is in my blood! 😤

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

So far...? 👀

Oh Christ, Jen. I'm sorry. That's shit.

And ROCKING the Bluey outfit! Fashionable head-toe-toe!

Keepin up with the intros!

Howdy, I'm Harvey (aka Jonesy to many), game dev. Currently in the lovely land of Production for the wonderful people over at Zynga/Take-Two.

Feel free to nerd out about Lego, BG3, CotL, D&D... or scrum/product/des stuff. Also a disability/LGBTQ+ safe space over here ♿🏳️‍🌈

Game Dev newskies:

Get on over to the Game Dev list so you can find loads of cool folks to follow and hang out with.

Back on the Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough! My PC was NOT having a good time once I got into Baldur's Gate city. Bummer. Oh well. Very grateful for PC > Xbox cross-save.

I could only turn my room into a sauna and stare at flat, textureless surfaces for so long

picture of a sleeping cat with "where's Madeleine" written below it - game is very image-dependent, can't be played text-only

Spent an hour today with @v21.bsky.social's "Downpour", an app for making little games on your phone (still in beta). Made one about our cats called "Where's Madeleine?". Perhaps my greatest work? Takes 2-5 minutes depending on how good you are at finding Madeleine.

Hilarious that PCGamer reported on this lmao
