Trains + Sun + English countryside are my favourite. If trains weren't so expensive, probably.

Producer discourse again?
Okay.
If you're frightened of cuts, and you're holding on, you'll see producers tearing your darlings away.
But if you've made your peace, the producers are really angels, freeing you from scope creep.

Penny's Big Breakaway is actually so adorable lmao. I am affiliated with T2 (not my studio, but you may take this with a pinch of salt ha) but it's got a sweet nostalgic feel of old school platforming... And the music is so groovy.
My inner Sonic Adventure love is re-emerging. Didn't expect this 🤣

Back on the Sims 4 again... Back to creating yet again the 5th recreation of me 😵💫
I'm making it canon now that they all have different variations of my name, and they're all aliens from alternate universes except the OG one.
Although I don't know which one is the OG 😭

Contacts are so weird. Astigmatism in one eye just makes me hyper aware that my left eye exists 😩

Honestly the switch between education to career for me has felt like my brain has suddenly unlocked a new map area. Suddenly I know how to eat healthily and take care of my wellbeing. What is this sorcery? What happened to me??

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Feel free to nerd out about Lego, BG3, CotL, D&D... or scrum/product/des stuff. Also a disability/LGBTQ+ safe space over here ♿🏳️🌈

Now that BlueSky is kicking open the doors to the world, you might want to remind your followers I exist to help the game dev community find itself.
I am an account that simply follows other game devs. Search my follows for accts you might be interested in. And @ me if you want me to follow you.

Back on the Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough! My PC was NOT having a good time once I got into Baldur's Gate city. Bummer. Oh well. Very grateful for PC > Xbox cross-save.
I could only turn my room into a sauna and stare at flat, textureless surfaces for so long

Spent an hour today with @v21.bsky.social's "Downpour", an app for making little games on your phone (still in beta). Made one about our cats called "Where's Madeleine?". Perhaps my greatest work? Takes 2-5 minutes depending on how good you are at finding Madeleine.

Super impressed with the updates to Cult of the Lamb since I last played it... The start of the game has been completely freshened. The FTUE feels clearer and extended. Really liking it. And I've not even got to the DLCs 🤭

Watched the entire LOTR trilogy in a big marathon at the BFI IMAX yesterday... Pretty hardcore to say this is the first time I've been to a cinema in London lmao.

Current active side quests 😎
When the mysterious cards tell me to build a Lego set, you bet I will. Might opt for the poor gundam sat on my shelf for a few months though.

Honestly it's so cool being motivated to learn about something that you're really (I mean TRULY) interested in. I've attempted to learn an instrument for years, but I always pick it up, get embarrassed about being bad, and then put it down because the embarrassment outweighs the possible reward. 🧵

Just spent the entire day wondering where a bunch of these tickets came from, speculating how they got in the backlog... I made them. I made all of these tickets just before Christmas.
Now they're 2024 Harvey's problem 😮💨🤦♂️
