Why do all these apps want to wrap my year before the year is even over. Don't do the month of December dirty like that.

A stack of blu-rays including The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Willow (1988), Dogville (2003), Mickey 17 (2025), The Power of the Dog (2021)

Bought some new films.

The cover of the book "But Not Too Bold" by Hache Pueyo.

Really enjoyed the novella But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo. Great gothic horror vibes and the sapphic romance with a humanoid spider is both alluring and disturbing.

My cats are thrilled about this because it means I'll be spending more time with them on the couch rather than in front of my computer.

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form:

How The Game Awards voting works It’s the press and fans, not game devs, who vote on The Game Awards

A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...

One of the horrors of being a freelancer that isn't talked about enough is having to spend way too much time scrolling through LinkedIn while looking for opportunities.

My favorite first-watches of October 🎃

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

wizard frog is insane

Been working on my personal project today and damn, I didn't realize how much I've missed writing something that's not for work.

Replaying Jedi: Fallen Order before I start Survivor and I'd completely forgotten how good this game is.

Dill, a tortie cat, looking very cute while blepping.

Haven't been on Bluesky much lately, but here's a cute blep from Dill as a little treat.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

we have so many reasons to be angry and ultimately we are fucked if we keep directing that at the easiest and closest targets rather than the most powerful and impactful ones

A lot of people using "don't comply in advance" today

What makes you believe this was a voluntary decision? (Don't comply in advance = don't do this voluntarily)

Also, some of you have suggested "alternate payment processors" as if that's a real thing. It's not.

I've been looking forward to this game for a while and bought it only a few days ago, but have now refunded it. This is extremely disappointing to see, especially from a studio whose work I admire.

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Watching the final episodes of Andor before work was a bad idea because how am I supposed to focus on anything now...

"Grogu with Hover Pram" Lego set.

My boy is home!

A tortie cat lies in a cat bed on top of a desk while looking judgemental.

Silently judging me for not working hard enough.

Just finished the new episodes of Andor and I'm not okay.

Me: "I shouldn't spend any money until I know how my new story is performing."
Also me: *Spends $100 on Lego.*

I have a new story coming out tomorrow and I'm crossing my fingers everything goes well so I can continue paying my bills 🤞

I mean, how could you not?

Oh, to be a sleepy cat completely unaware of the state of the world.

Had my most productive work week in a long time after coming back from my break. Wild that taking time off actually works. Who would've thought.

Also that Mon Mothma dance though.
