Hiya! I'm Holden, generalist gamedev and cofounder at @turbobuttoninc.bsky.social where I make silly VR games like Floor Plan. Before that, I worked on AAA stuff, motion control stuff, and weird game jam stuff. I play lots of RPGs and have a dog named Bucket who wishes I would play with him instead.

Our industry does have peer-voted awards, the most visible being DICE, Game Developers Choice Awards, BAFTA. There are scores of smaller developer-led awards too. We do have spaces to celebrate and uplift one another, please support and watch these shows! The teams work hard for the devs!

At least the degree to which everyone is pissed off right now is showing up at the ballot box. With shifts like this, did California even need redistricting to flip 5 seats in 2026?

Great piece that drips truth & true love for LA:
“The ungovernability of Los Angeles and the beauty of its baseball make strange alchemy in 2025, the pride of the free city under siege. The big stars are immigrants while masked federal agents creep around the corner.”

The big appeal of Latin mass is that there's zero percent chance you'll ever hear anything that might challenge you to improve yourself or change your behavior.
even as an atheist I’m pretty sure good Catholics ain’t supposed to say that out loud

The City of Los Angeles and @mayor.lacity.gov are getting more international pressure to reign in LAPD's use of force on journalists.
The world will be watching when the Olympics, World Cup and Super Bowl are here. If LA wants to continue to be a global city, we need to put an end to this madness.

RSF condemns the unjust and continued violence of federal officers towards journalists covering the No Kings protest in Los Angeles. We call on the LA mayor and city council to hold the Chief of Police accountable for the stifling of press freedoms and the blatant violation of the First Amendment.

We're saying goodbye to six wonderful folks on our team this week at @outerloopgames.bsky.social They've been part of the team for years and unfortunately we got hit with some unexpected US tax changes, a port cancellation, and new project pitches that are going slow. It's a rough year.

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip
Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets
However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

The next big surprise in college football will be blue blood programs trying and failing to poach coaches like Kenny Dillingham, Clark Lea, and Brent Key because the NIL era has made it possible for them to compete for championships at their alma maters.
