Autogame Deluxe never fails to make me laugh out loud whenever I play it. It is such a wonderful blend of chaos and skill. It has no business being this fun.
It also has no business being this affordable! Get it while the sale lasts! GO GO GO!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I decided to NOT submit my talk proposals for GDC2026.
I think I have some killer topics, but it's impossible to tell what kind of country I'd be visiting in 7 months. I hate having to miss seeing my fellow narrative peeps there but, given current circumstances, I don't want to commit to attending.
