I wonder if I’ll ever get better at remembering to use Bluesky more often. It appeared right at a time when I was trying to significantly reduce my social media use, so it’s on this weird gap space between when I was addicted to social media versus trying to stop using it.

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

This morning my kid asked me to stop dancing in the car before we got to school because I was embarrassing her.

Dadchievement unlocked.

Wondering if I’ll ever find the energy and motivation to work on personal projects.

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen.

We just want to make cool stuff for people.

I can’t stop talking about my love for Caves of Qud and I’ve noticed that my friends are getting tired of it.

I’m not gonna stop, but I’ve noticed it.

Hey friends, I just lost my job—I’m looking for new work!

See a thread of work below 🧵, or visit oldmanofthefire.com

I’m an artist and programmer. As an art director I’ve lead art teams on projects for Netflix, Apple, Sony, and more.

If you’d be so kind, please share this to get the word out!

Caves of Qud is the best roguelike ever made, and is in contention for my favourite game of all time.

Playing it feels like reading the tomes of an ancient alien odyssey. It’s weird, it’s beautiful, it’s funny (I would kill for my definitely-human friend Herman) #CavesOfQud #Qud #Herman

Hey I did that thing again where I stepped away from social media, but maybe it’s time I actually start interacting with other humans or whatever.

So… hey, what’s up? Long time no see. Have you been working out?

A little late but last week I had a pretty major moment in my career: deadbydaylight.com/news/third-p...

Also hey I’m back after a “maybe I need to step back from social media for a bit”.

at an ad-hoc tarot 'party' we had 3 readings about game dev (with 2 different decks and 3 different people), and in each, the conclusion was 5 of Wands (distraction, loss of focus, free for all).

in one deck this was depicted by a fire juggler with his pants on fire. WELCOME TO THE GAMES INDUSTRY!

I have no idea what my first post should be.
