Just sort of had solid food for the first time in a week! I baked some potatoes and mashed them up and it was amazing and now my jaw hurts and I need a rest.

Just hit 1,200 job applications! What a gigantic waste of time being unemployed is.

I learned long ago to stop pointing out when someone on Reddit misunderstands Technocracy, and it's made life a lot easier, at least in one respect. My tongue does start to get sore after being held for too long.

Watch this end up being the reason politicians finally take the need for protected bike lanes seriously
November 13, 2025 at 11:30 PM
Absolutely not. Nothing motorized belongs in bike lanes. I hope I never live in a place that has these things rolling around. It's bad enough we have to deal with Lime scooters.

No blue since college, long before I got into games, but…distinctive hair, for sure. I basically look just like my avatar at all times.
If you work in games and have blue hair please raise your hand 🎮

Finally, a greeting just for me
good morning to everyone not mentioned by name in the epstein emails

The quickest way to get me to close a job application and never consider supporting your company is asking me which of my previous employers were trillion-dollar companies.

I don't measure my value based on the size of the wallets of the people who pull the strings. They aren't my users.

Now I'm in the print edition of Willamette Week! So that's weird.

Ooh, Leap Day reference?!
Prepare to be intensely jealous of those who are in the alpha test of Spry Fox's cozy non-combat MMO Spirit Crossing. Are you ready? Players are being given a flan hat. It is a hat shaped like a caramel flan.
Cozy MMO Spirit Crossing adds new world events, a bulletin board, new tutorial, and a server wipe

We’re already seeing the effects of increased enforcement: camps that have been swept are just moving out to East Portland. Houseless folks need rental assistance, not shelters and sweeps.
Big day in Portland politics at city hall today.

There's an anti-price fixing ordinance and a fall budget adjustment process that will include amendments about moving $ away from sweeps to rental assistance and support for immigrants and refugees.

Tech bros are fake nerds. Don't let them buy their way into a subculture that their kind was bullying a couple decades ago.
I keep beating this drum: the kind of people one thinks of as Silicon Valley "techbro" are so often finance people with an engineering cosplay habit, not actual technologists

Elon Musk was famously *never* a good coder and I can't believe he ever scienced a rocket either. But he craves that respect
the worst part is that for the people at the top "good at math"/sciencey is essentially a vibe one socially codes their way into by being minimally competent at informally discussing things actual math/science people do, unless (e.g.) Elon Musk has proven a theorem I didn't hear about.

Any Godot programmers want to work on a small 2D game with a finished script and a handful of light puzzles? I'm tired of waiting until I land a job to start my big project, so I might as well get this smaller one going.

Same goes for FMV actors, especially if you're writing for characters from a different background as yourself.
If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

The best part about this post is all the devs quoting it to say they don't use AI to create their much better games.

The worst part is everything else.

Affinity Studio's got an interesting way to snap a point to another point or path: you have to drag to the thing you want to snap to and stay still for a full second. Then the point snaps into place, and you're left wondering how the heck it just happened. Amusing, but not exactly efficient.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Again, this chump's only ever cared about being the mascot for the entire industry. He lucked into a few roles that got him where he is, and has all the stage presence of a day-old baguette. When people talk about what he's done to support developers, they're talking about his friends and donors.
Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

My jaw's been going through ice packs like it used to be able to go through jellybeans, and now I think I understand why these packs say DO NOT EAT on the label. Because at this point, I'd try pretty much anything to kill this pain.
