An image that shows the GDC website, and the name of the panel, “Gaming the System: Creating Your Own Path to a Narrative Design Career!” Neat!

Cool news! I’m doing a talk at GDC with the incredibly talented @zoeraecalamar.bsky.social! If you’re a student without game education available to you, or just someone looking to pivot in their career, we’ve got you!

Hope to see you there.

An image from a medieval manuscript that depicts one man stabbing another man in the top of the head with a small sword. Modern text superimposed on the image describes the stabbed person as "ME." It describes their brain as "MY BRAIN," the stabber as "MY BRAIN" and the sword as "ALSO MY BRAIN."

How it feels trying to function lately.

Today, as the Winter Solstice rapidly approaches, I'm sharing twenty* of my favourite folk songs to keep you company on these ever-darkening autumn evenings.

Mulder saying "both claim to have been abducted by aliens"

Scully looking So So tired

That's it. That's the show.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

I can't be the only person who thinks this sounds like an Imperial probe droid scouring Hoth for rebels.

Sorry, you’ll never be as beloved by Gamers as Elon.

I bet you any amount it isn't just Twitter that has algorithms like this, limiting your reach or engagement based upon word or subject choices. And I bet you this isn't remotely new. But I think we all suspected that by now, yes?

Oo, I did not know that, thank you very much!

A mirror selfie of Paul looking perhaps a little too satisfied with himself. He seems like the kind of person who has blue hair and pronouns, because he literally does.

Three hair compliments before 1:00 p.m. today.

And I haven't even shaved.

I will very happily take it.

A screenshot of a posting analysis from the trending Anisota Bluesky Harvest, which shows the user Paullicino as being almost exclusively Offline or, as the analysis says, "Grass Touching."

A screenshot of a posting analysis from the trending Anisota Bluesky Harvest, which shows the user Paullicino as having relatively modest post engagement, except for in November, where interactions are massively disproportionate. Because social media is silly and I desperately urge everyone to be mindful and careful of both the time they spend on it and the effect it has upon them.

Amazing scenes.

Good luck! I hope it goes as comfortably as possible.

My enduring memory of Elizabeth Taylor is her giving a speech about AIDS awareness at the Freddie Mercury Tribute, which prompted some random rock fan to tell her to get off. She responded "I'll get off in a minute, I have something to say," and the whole stadium erupted.

As a kid I would've thought this was one of the most exciting things ever, whereas as an adult I think this is one of the most exciting things ever.

So @vangameconnect.ca was very good indeed and I hope this city can keep hosting new games, arts and culture events.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.
