It's surreal to be finally getting to show off such awesome stuff about our game while the world is kinda terrifying, but I'm so proud of our work.

The absolute terror of realizing I am missing an earring/gauge, and having to retrace my steps for who knows how long. Shocking how easy it is to lose a piece of wood the size of a marble.

As the down period goes longer, even when the industry starts to recover, the talent train will be awful.
So many folks that are so brilliant will just do something else. This happens in games a little all the time, but in the longer downturns, we can lose access to whole generations of devs.

Game industry continues to be just incredibly bleak behind the scenes. Ecosystem is in free fall. Doubt there’ll be an easy solution, or a quick one. This darkest hour has dragged out to a darkest couple of years.

I have such a deep love in my heart for metal songs that build up for at least seven minutes to finally explode in the last thirty seconds. I feel like that sort of experience is waaaay too rare outside of metal (and orchestral).
Great for focus work too.

The new steam recording/clipping feature is so nice for QA and Playtesting. Getting everyone using OBS or Nvidia tools was generally asking them to enable a whole new tool. The steam recording is so much easier. Thank you @valvesoftware.bsky.social!

I know I have a few new homeowner friends. If you can, now may be a very good time to schedule that appliance replacement or contractor work you were putting off. Between tariffs and deportations, it might be more expensive to do these things soon.
Also, tip your repair techs and contractors.

Trying to get active on Twitter again is absolutely a nightmare. The priority given to the worst sort of content is kinda staggering to deal with, and even then the audience you're fighting for is just so much less than it was.
