bam make big number.
many people mad, but that dumb.
big bam number still big big
mine is “how good was today’s GDC breakfast burrito” so your metric could be worse
oh no (in a good way)
woof.
as if my anxiety about going wasn't bad enough...
anxious about heading to GDC, honestly. the older I get, the more I want to make games but the less I want to be a part of the industry.
I’m excited to see many of you, though, that’s always the saving grace of these things
my archetype is Victim of the Murder Mystery
![an except from Ursula K Le Guin’s “Always Coming Home” reading:
Even when a corn-borer was squashed, a mosquito swatted, a branch broken, a flower picked, the formula was muttered in its ultimately reduced form: arrariv, “my word[s].” Although this one-word formula was spoken as mindlessly as our “bless you” to a sneeze, it was always spoken. The speaking of it maintained and contained the idea of need and fulfillment, demand and response, of relationship and interdependence; and this idea could be brought fully to mind when it was wanted. The stone, as they said, contains the mountain.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lxjpi7fpqt56z6gdk5uv2z7w/bafkreictaj5xznniw2u7ljhpkyqfv4adifk4t4a3ais3zp4x2wtpyoixky)

“mm. yes. so so good. what a product.”
god damnit McDonald’s. now you’ve started a whole genre of putrid CEO videos
currently cranking out the most jank character animations known to mankind. these unholy clusters of keyframes only loosely resemble human motion
it did not miss
what’s the biggest small number

johnny weir, softly into his microphone: this music by Mazer Lazer represents celebration, relief, a willingness to engage in party
me: So stupid how the announcers have to explain what every part of the Olympic ceremony symbolizes
also me: WTF DOES THIS SHIT MEAN
I REALLY enjoyed being offline for a couple years. I’m already feeling the negative effects of being back online. but alas, it’s sorta necessary for someone trying to find funding & eventually market a game
it always takes me a week or so after traveling to remember how to cook food for myself
Fudge and I have worked out this daily arrangement. it’s generally good for both of us — it only comes at the expense of my back
hello hi
i can get invested into any sport
also, it’s diabolical that GDC is so quick after DICE
dice was great, had many great conversations about new project (🌿) and the industry as a whole.
yesss
and that’s, like, the baseline
casinos are so absurd
I just ate a $30 meatball sub while Pink Pony Club blasted and some guy smoked a cigar a few feet away
