Im having the most stressful month 🫠🫠

Instagram post from the nsgov Instagram account. Black and red text reads “STAY OUT OF THE WOODS”; the foreground is a black silhouette of trees

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

I haven't done many of those events. Very awkward and nervous 😅 Hopefully I'll get a chance to say hi at another one! I didn't socialize as much as I should've.

I think there's a good chance! Despite diff era, a lot of Battlefield's core gameplay elements are there. Seems like it could be a fun year for BF fans

Conquered a bit of travel and social anxiety this week. I've always had terrible anxiety, but it's nice to feel like I'm winning a bit. 😅

Good to finally meet you! It was a fun event

Battlefield 6 Could Be The Successor To Battlefield 3 & 4 The Series Needs Instead of staying in the future, Battlefield 6 makes a safe bet to return to a modern time with a classic feel.

Looking forward to BF6, partly because I think even the bad ones feel really good and are much more interesting than COD. But aside from that, reading @sedoster.bsky.social's preview from the event has me thinking the series is all the way back. www.gamespot.com/articles/bat...

I'm a fan of BF 3&4. This could be a good year for BF, and the build we played felt really polished. I hope this doesn't get fumbled at launch.

My team is hiring again!

We've got two jobs posted: EXPERT and SENIOR writer. In our org chart, Expert is a click above Senior and focused on craft. Senior owns big parts of the game and could eventually be promoted to a direction- or craft-focused role.

Grounded 2 - Guides Hub Learn how to survive the world of Grounded 2 with help of our complete guide hub.

Grounded 2 launched yesterday for Xbox and PC. Really fun crafting and survival game with a Honey-I-Shrunk-The-Kids vibe. Got early access and handled the guides coverage on this one. Can't wait to play more when I get back from LA.

The universe is really testing my patience and anxiety levels 🥲

I've had 4 flight delays so far 💀💀

I'm on my way to LA ✈️

Nice! I'm also on my way to LA. If my flights quit getting delayed 😒

the way i went and downvoted this immediately and i suggest you do the same. do not hate watch. do not give it the time of day. the only way to show people we hate gen ai is by not making it profitable. downvote, don't watch, move on. send this piss into the abyss.

Dude. I'm busy peeping all those TPB. That's quite the collection 👀👀

Teaching a 5yo the TMNT origin story, but he doesn't care. 🤣🐢

The soundtrack is taking me waaaay back. I love how music has the power to invoke such memories.🤘I'm suddenly a kid again, sitting on the floor in front of the TV with my best friend, taking turns playing and completing challenges.

I'm getting real tired of not being able to trust that a video game doesn't have AI crap in it:

My brain just doesn't not want to work anymore unless I've had an adequate amount of caffeine. Like Gfuel levels. 🫠

Went running yesterday in the GA heat. Whew. 🫠 I never thought I'd miss the UK weather 😅 rainy Manchester is much better for running outside

Finally watched I Saw the TV Glow! Wow, that was haunting and powerful.

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike. By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games. @TheZeldaZone@mastodon.social

I really want to thank @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social for inviting me on the show and giving me a platform to speak on. I feel like @gamingvlognetwork.com & I had a really great conversation about what's going on and it felt nice to get some things out in the air. Please give this a listen if you can!

Finally watched Three Body Problem on Netflix and 🤯🤯🤯. Listened to some of the audiobooks with my wife, and the show makes some interesting changes.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a narrative-adventure game about how good it feels to listen to dreampop.

I'm so fucking sick of AI and all the lazy fucks using it. 🤬🤬 You're not real artists if you put prompts into a generator. You've created NOTHING. You're just a talentless thief.

So I'll say this, literally every single time i see an ai asset/background on a stream, & the streamer doesnt know, it has CONSISTENTLY come from Etsy

if you are an artist, do NOT put your work on Etsy.

if you are a streamer, do NOT buy your stuff from Etsy.

end of story

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.
