What is a game, but a miserable pile of flowcharts

What if I soft launched my one-person "game" "studio"...

I admit, I’ve been tracking my job hunt in Jira. It lets me procrastinate applications by tinkering with the workflows and issue types, so that I feel like I’m keeping my JIRA-fu exercised while wasting time.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

There is a terf douch bag in my neighborhood who I have been in a graffiti war with. Today might be my best work. I present to you, a neighborhood flyer.

Joe uses fart logic in So Fart Away, a sokoban where you push around your own clouds of gas!

I also am on the verge of switching. Ever since the developer did the full app refactor, I’ve had problems with losing my saved position and CarPlay not working.

Diving through my dad’s basement again and I just hit the motherload. Will document all the treasure in here

It’s a game about a teenager who’s stuck as a T-pose and trying to figure out where the T-pose is coming from. It’s a game about—umm. [Long pause] Do I need to explain? [Another long pause] No. [Laughs] That’s fair. Who is this character? How would you describe them?

I think it’s just perfect.

I tried (and failed) to get Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi to explain his new game, to a T, to me. instead, I had one of the most fun, baffling interviews I've ever done www.wired.com/story/katama...

Working on some new note types, I will not be blamed for this joke.

If you are already posting Severance spoilers when the season finale has been available <24 hours, please know that you suck and I hate you. 💕

Have you read Jennifer Egan’s “Visit from the Goon Squad”?
Great read, won the Pulitzer in 2017.

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike is coming back to GDC next week for its SIXTH year! Last year I wrote about the challenges of mass layoffs, online harassment, and lack of funding, and #WhatAGameDevLooksLike was a little beacon of joy and celebration of how brilliant, diverse, and kind our industry can be.
