I would like to request that we stop putting color puzzles that require timing in games. Even if your colorblind mode is good (most arent), visually processing colors is slower than your timing allows. Make them shapes or some shit, please.

Uhhh, this seems specifically targeted to disrupt the validity of mail in ballots.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a final rule (FR Doc.

Mid day bump! We’re at $350 total so far, and are trying to hit at least $10,000 before GDC so we can give the scholars stipends for food & travel. Every little bit helps!

"As with Thirsty Suitors, this is an overt and chewy piece of social commentary, exploring the usurpation of communal cooking and eating by mass-produced ready meals."

And we still manage to focus on the joy of living, joy of healing, joy of connecting, and joy of expression through play.

Officially looking for work again! My contract ended a week ago so I'm back on the job market.

If anyone is looking for an experienced character technical director for video games, I know a guy (it's me).

So I’m in LA for a mocap shoot. The hotel is hosting a Subaru sales conference and it’s raining outside. You’d think I never left Seattle!

In years past GDC gave us all access passes for ADF. The top of the top. All talks, vault access, everything. This year they are giving the tier lower, no vault, fewer networking opportunities, under their new “festival of gaming.” This fucking sucks.

To my knowledge we’ve not yet lost her, but she has announced that her doctors have informed her there is nothing more that can be done

Weekend training! With speed work during the week, weekends are for higher rep sets.

Log C&P 2 x 7 x 140#, Silver Dollar DL 2 x 10 x 300#. Light but not easy after we catered an event yesterday. Skipped carries because of that.

Training time 1 hour.
