It’s truly insane how hard it is to ethically rehome an animal!!!

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

So a uh, little work update from me! Starting today I'm officially stepping up as the Head of Publishing at Panic! I couldn't be more excited for what we've been doing, and will do my best to be a positive influence on where we head next 💖

💖💖💖 some of the best ones!!

Anyways all that to say this is the first year in my adult life I didn’t get at least one tattoo so the whole year goes into the dumpster, thems the rules 🤷

I started learning Italian to be able to build a relationship with my “in-laws”, eventually. I put time into discovering a personal style and having fun with it. I lost 50lbs and it only became like, 2% of my personality, max!! I started seeing a therapist who doesn’t suck ass!! (Related??)

I set some personal boundaries around work (I don’t have my work email in my phone for the first time since 2015?!) and started putting in some real work on healing from burnout! Work is still most of my personality but like, I’m actually doing something about that after years of threatening it.

I finally went to GDC and had a good time! I watched TGYH win a bafta, despelote win an IGF award, and had games show up in a TON of peoples “favorites of ‘25” lists! I went to Switzerland to hang out with Okomotive and the Time Flies guys! We launched 4 games, which was both dumb and great!!

I am unfortunately prone to melancholy, so looking back on the last year I have an automatic reaction of “trash, bad, 👎” but that’s also just… not totally true?? My mental health might be in the toilet but some objectively very cool things happened!!

(Everyone is okay btw!!! Gordon may have pulled his elbow because he’s a dumb puppy lmao)(I do not want to do the math on how much Derno alone ran us this year thank you)(cooper has had no issues outside of his terminal bastard disease 😔)

Someone please tell me if it’s possible to go to the vet and not leave (at LEAST) a grand poorer I’m losing faith after this year!!

Been doing a bit of a sweep through some games to catch up on, and got absolutely gut punched by the last moments of “and Roger”. Diminished slightly by @wizardmoobs.bsky.social immediately hitting me with “which game was that again? ‘Wrong Dave’?”

Local Angeleno seen prepping to BRAVE winter storm*. (From last night)

*Moderate rain makes freeways scary

Been kinda losing my mind at this for a few hours now!! A man of taste!!!

As long as we still have you we will give you all the love we can, happy 1st birthday baby Gordon 💖💖

The running dialogue I've had with myself whenever I open this app lately with all the compounding discourses is "hey you know you don't HAVE to post right". This has kept me safe at several junctions. Hot Tip!!

Honestly I don't know specifically! He came into game dev via mods which feels such a deeply foreign world to me, but I think he's fallen into the desire to be a "do it all myself" generalist hahaha

Honestly that's a really good call!! Will be worth investigating for sure if I can get him an info exchange with someone who's in a similar lane as what he wants.

Ohh great rec! I got him Jesse Schell's Art of Game Design last year so this looks like a good addition to that library

I came in CLUTCH with a playdate for him a couple years ago! That's also how he realized where I worked (and I think finally took me seriously) 😂 The Derek Yu book recco is a great one!!

also of note -- he has felt that he has not gotten much out of his program and that bums me the hell out tbh! How can I help that!!! (yes I have bitten my tongue on the state of the industry more and more as he's gotten close to grad I'm not a monster or maybe that makes me one idk)

Question for Game Design homies!! My lil' cousin is graduating from his game design program this year, and I'm trying to figure out a clutch Christmas gift as the ""insider cousin"". I've done literature in the past and not against doing it again if there's something seminal!!!

I am a tabi convert they are sooooo comfy!

Anyways I felt cute as hell last night and think that’s pretty cool

If I post the picture I took of the backside of Miss Piggy & her puppeteer will I be hunted down

oh yeah for anyone who might care I'll be at TGA with @despelote.game ! If you see me know I am probably overstimulated (but still say hi if you'd like!)

After ongoing threats of “we’re gonna do something different with the next trailer”, I was SO delighted when the first draft of this dropped in slack. Love working with criminally funny people who make great and moving stuff!!
