If I had a nickel for every time a game I shipped got nominated for a major award after I was laid off, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's extremely depressing that it happened twice.
finding out your game got nominated by The Game Awards in the group chat with other folks who got laid off is… just so painfully 2025

Got my copy of Trash Classic signed at the Frankie and the Witch Fingers show last night, along with apologies for not playing Gutter Priestess (it's okay guys, I've heard the song a billion times by now) (it's still my favourite)

Had a crazy time at the Tacoma Dome last week, here's a picture of me on stage behind DJ Diesel (aka Shaq)

Watching 2009's "Moon" with my partner, 5 minutes into the film:
"Is this Severance on the moon?"

"The name Mojito implies the existance of a Mojo"
Dangerous words when you know I mix drinks for fun and not profit (there are 12 ounces of rum in here)

Took me just shy of 38 hours of playtime but I'm finally done with Silksong and can move onto playing... uuuhhhh... uummm... something else?

I feel like I'm speed running from job application to rejection email, my current PB is just under 20 hours.

Gonna keep grinding this week, maybe I can get my first sub-19!

"Do you wanna split a redbull?"
"No"
"Well then can you pass me a redbull?"
"Also no" I say immediately before slamming back the last remaining can without breaking eye contact

Completely unrelated, my stomach hurts

The jacket got a little beat up during transit, but one of my holy grail albums is finally here!

Tanda's MF DOOM x Tatsuro Yamashita

Maybe a little stupid but I love getting my hands on albums that are blocked for sale on Discogs, it makes me feel like a hip underground record collector.

This Phantom Island photo is a pretty good one, but most importantly it's MINE so that obviously makes it my favourite

I think Alien vs Predator: Requiem is the worst movie I've ever seen (derogatory)

I went and saw the man, the myth, the 1999 legend DARUDE play a set recently. The crowd engagement was directly correlated to how much the song sounded like Sandstorm (side note: he has a lot of songs that sound like Sandstorm)

If I had a nickel for every time a "Patrick H" thought that Speed Racer is a great movie then I'd have ten cents, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Happy Pi Day to people who write their dates either really wrong or really right

A toiletpigeon original, their 7th tattoo ever!

Be friends with cool people who etch their goofy doodles permanently into your body, it's fun and rewarding, I promise

Bonkers that modern "smart" TVs ship with software so janky and busted that you need to buy a seperate device just to get them working the way you expected in the first place

(This complaint brought to you by an entire evening spent fighting with Samsung's Tizen OS)

I've taken to answering "How are you doing?" with "Eh, not dead yet!" and it has proven to be extremely controversial among my co-workers
