Ryan, improv & games
@funqualified.com
I make games. I improvise. I write code. I watch TV. I dislike fascism quite a lot.
My most delusional moments are when I start to feel like @benschwartz.bsky.social and I are peers because we both do improv. Then I hear him voice Sonic and I remember he's a movie star and I'm actually a software developer from Connecticut.

My biggest fear is that my entire family is actually Russian sleeper agents, and one day I'll hear my code phrase and start regurgitating the stupid shit my father says.

I've picked up Animorphs from where I left off as a kid. After reading three books(The Extreme/Attack/Exposed), damn these books are even better than I remember. Got me thinking of a series of analysis essays that would be "timely" for the current day.

Stick with me for a minute. I think there's a reading of season 4 of Legend of Korra where it's about Christian Fascism.

I called up Nathan Netflix. He said he'd green light "McDonald's in the Pentagon" once every one of you sends in a handwritten letter apologizing for not watching "Inside Job".

I've had this idea for a social asset trading game for a few years. Decided to prototype out a little MVP over the weekend. I've got a lot more ideas for it, but figured it would be fun to develop live. So here it is:

Anyone else do Chinese food weekends, where you get an absurd amount of Chinese food on a Friday night and eat just that for the rest of the weekend?

Did we change the definition of "Crash Out", or did I just misunderstand it? Cause Hank Green seems like he's just having a very normal reaction to the state of the world.

No plans this weekend other than to work on my game. Net up on the backlog is menus. Settings, character customization, host game, join game. All the menus are getting done* this weekend.
*By done I mean in place with minimum functionality.

There's so much conspiracy theories going around TikTok right now. People are convinced that their "algorithm is different" and that the way to fix it is blocking Facebook. Fittingly it follows the same logic of those old "I do not consent to my data being used" Facebook posts.

Remember that time in Sonic X when Sonic & friends became US citizens and tails got his piloting license? When are we getting that in the movies?

Thinking about using #atproto for some small scale personal projects. Applications to use with my friends, not mass social media. Any people with experience know if that makes sense? Or would it be overkill?

At a party a few years ago I was telling a friend what games I was playing. Those games were Rumbleverse and Marvel Snap. It was peak gaming. I now live in a world where I can't play either.

Okay but why is Marvel Snap still down? I don't even want to use TikTok anymore, but I would really like to play a round of Snap.

I want to crosspost my thoughts on here and Facebook, but I can't decide which is the testing ground for which. I fear the answer to that question requires a level of introspection about my relationship with social media that I'm just not emotionally equipped to handle right now.

Me: well TikTok may be gone, but at least I can relax by playing my favorite mobile game, Marvel Snap.
The universe: What if instead you have no fun at all.

What if we all just lie and say we had a million followers on TikTok? Like putting a defunct company on your resume.

With TikTok going away, I've decided to spend my time just posting my most unhinged (inflammatory) takes on Facebook. Wish me luck.

TikTok didn't make me a communist, that was the combined efforts of the Bible, Star Trek, and One Piece.
