Would you have preferred “hunger for the flesh?”

I would say 2 oz. 4 oz. would be a quarter-pounder, and unless you're having a hamburger, that's too much meat for a balanced sandwich. 1 oz. feels too small, too thin.

GAME OVER: $25k+ of tech stolen from Kent arcade Tens of thousands of dollars worth of vintage video game equipment was stolen from a Kent arcade this week.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

I don’t recommend it, because it’s brutal, but Broadchurch, for me, captured what grieving feels like.

To be fair, you have one of the most challenging portfolios to represent, like, ever.

Just a reminder that we would not need SNAP benefits for working people if the minimum wage were actually a livable wage.

SNAP is a corporate subsidy.

Buyout / going private with Saudi money or Yves died - has to be something material to enterprise value.

C’mon, people. We’re a creative industry.

I was so disappointed when I was old enough to buy my own appliances. That much money had always been for fun things.

I am going to make it a personal mission to mock everyone who posts a NYT link from now on.

Pretending they have any legitimacy left is foolish.

I was going to say…

3. Profit

Seconded. There are some rough patches, as you would expect from an indie title, but overall worth the money if you need to scratch that Vampire Survivors itch.

I really liked the city layout meta-game as well.

I pity the fool who tries to get AI to do what I do. May god have mercy on their team.

Which leads to this hypothesis: Interactive art can contain non-interactive art, but the reverse is not true.

❤️ this whole line of thought. What a lovely gift for a Tuesday.

Counterpoint: A poem does not stop being a poem when it is included in a game, or recited on stage, or filmed in a movie. Games can contain sculpture, painting, even drama (they did a version of Hamlet in GTA V).

Happy day! Thanks for persisting. People who challenge authority to live up to higher principles make me happy.😃

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

Ambrosia Sky: Act One is out now.

Support is everything right now. If you purchase a copy: thank you. If you enjoy it, please leave a review. If you like what we're doing as a studio, tell a friend.

Discovery is lifeblood in games today, and grassroots support makes the difference for indies

New conference on Game Dev Interest Sheet So, I floated this notion on LinkedIn over the weekend about a non-traditional conference for game developers. The constraints are pretty simple: Less than 50 contributors / speakers because that's m...

I posted this on LinkedIn, but they're terrible about squashing external links.

If you or someone you know would be interested in a new game development conference, feel free to take the survey and/or share the link:

I feel like recall elections need to be more of a thing.

Just because you were elected does not mean the people should have no recourse if you screw up.

Fetterman, for example.

So, I get why people are pissed at the senate democrats, but he still can’t open the government without putting the house back into session.

Odds are better than even he finds another excuse to continue the shutdown. Or the Epstein files come out.

That’s a tough fork.

I think it’s hard for numerate people to understand how terrifying numbers are to most people.

My bestie in grad school used to give a quiz on estimating surface area. People would say stuff like “I’m 2m tall and 3m wide, so my surface area must be 6m square.”

Is it reasonable is unknowable.

I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that it’s been years and all we get are more promises?

Maybe it’s the informed people who’ve been saying the emperor has no clothes?

The studies that all show limited to negative productivity gains?

Throw away the pundits. Treating politics like sport is part of the problem.

Together?

Good job, NYC. Thank you.
