pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Any system that makes things happen some of the time by RNG is inherently inferior to a system that approximates the same behavior by doing literally anything else. Fight me.

FFS. Heads up if you have a Ring.
Please turn off your #Ring cameras so that kids/families just trying to participate in #Halloween don't get caught up by ICE. Ring has partnered with them, so we know how this is going to turn out.
Also, please consider removing Ring entirely or AT LEAST turn on the e2e encryption.

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio
would anyone who works in or adjacent to game testing/QA be willing to answer a couple questions for me? off the record, not to be quoted - just need some background info on automations to know whether a scenario someone described in a talk is common or unusual.

Remember as a kid, if you got sick on the weekend you felt kinda cheated because you had to be sick, but you didn't even get to skip school? Well, I'm an adult now and being sick on the weekend is what it is. But I swear if I'm sick on Halloween, I'm not sure I'll hold onto my maturity.

This is that game I will not shut up about. The coolest thing anyone has ever made. And yeah, I now work at the studio that made it, but YOU get to play for half price, so who's really winning?
Now through November 3, The Blackout Club is 50% off as a part of the Steam Scream Fest IV.

Some kind words for The Killing Stone in this. Also some cool-sounding demos that escaped my notice during Next Fest.
New episode! We each played 10 or so new games during Steam Next Fest. Some were great, some were nonsense.

Muto has strong feelings about One-Eye, but then Muto is a smart kitty. Maybe it's because One-Eye smiles all the time, and it's hard to trust anyone who smiles that much. Luckily, we have our familiars to sound the alarm when things seem not quite right.

This miiiight have been my doing.
The repeated refrain of "David's AI is a jerk" from The Killing Stone has evolved into a bit where my coworkers are referring to difficult enemy AI in any other game as "David AI" and I don't hate it.
