Very cool to hear how this beautiful art style came together. @weremagnus.bsky.social you might find it interesting too.

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Oates is a liar and delights in being mean.
Not a good human.

Life before the agreement: Cree leaders look back at a changing Eeyou Istchee 50 years after JBNQA was signed | CBC News More than 50 years after the signing of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA), two Cree leaders — Bertie Wapachee and Gordon Blackned — reflect on what life was like before the landmark ...

Just sharing this bc the Eeyou Istchee keeps coming up for me and I didn't have much knowledge of it or its history.

I didn't know you'd worked on this. It is a wonderful game! Awesome to hear

Science Fantasy is such a fun space though! I'd love to see someone tackle it.

This is why I had to stop using Notion. I loved it at first but that AI prompt is too obnoxious. I would prefer Clippy.

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

So cool. I thought I saw more of these popping up recently.

It’s too bad last night’s game was in L.A. because when a World Series game ties in the 9th on Canadian soil the teams have to play a period of hockey

People are being extremely normal about this "hint".

(I love to play CT as it was, not sure what a remaster could give me)

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

The risk of research is finding a fact so perfect you bend your narrative to wedge it in.

Wait actually? I have never found a way to make that game playable even. As someone who loves xcom, especially WoTC, I want to hear more

Hmm. Gonna check this out. The art looks great and I like that hidden/revealed mechanic

I published my first coloring book on Amazon! It is kind of an October theme like cozy autumn and Halloween. 🍁🎃If you’re interested in coloring books! Please check out!

God. A pained groan just rose up from me. Everyone in the cafe line probably thought my pet just died.

Nb: The Netflix salaries are always a crazy big range. I believe it's a way for them to "comply" with salary transparency rules while not actually having to narrow the band.

Anyway this sucks!

A very valuable skill in games, which always seems to be in its dad era!

Oh nooo. That totally makes sense. I'm happy/lucky to have a team that engages in constructive feedback, but I can see how these would slip in (the lure of the dunk is strong)

This could be a bit but I'm going to have to trust you that it goes beyond "dad-coded Soulslike".

Also that's an incredible genre tag you just invented
