Someone I care about lost their job in this. These stories always fucking suck, but it stings a little more.
Gross mismanagement, self-destructive trend-chasing, and over indulgence from the top. Bullshit.

As a storied Steam user, I have never posted on any game's discussion boards (All the social features are odd to me)
However, I adore when people post on the "Feline Forensics" board. Just had someone call out all the Philly references I put in the tutorial - feels good! 🐱🔎

Incredible turnout in Philadelphia for No Kings Day!
It’s been nearly a month since that post, but it happened today… from menu to credits, “Feline Forensics” is fully playable!
I think I’ll take a day off, then onto some adjustments, bug-squishing, and polish!

his greatest competition is, and always will be, the “loot” he uses to repeatedly shoot himself in the foot
Borderlands 4 chief Randy Pitchford said players having to make decisions about loot is what makes the franchise so successful, saying, "it’s a gratifying loop." bit.ly/47n5qhp

Most of my day is #gamedev, but I set aside time for breaks.
Lately, I've been daydreaming... Not about more breaks, but about feeling stable enough that my work could be more diverse. Talking/writing about games, even drawing fan art, or networking would be nice.

I actually just completed "Octopath Traveler" and enjoyed my time with it! Did the true ending, as well.
Certainly long-winded in every regard, but it gave us HD-2D, and the many characters are pretty fun. An anime adaptation would be really neat, but that's just day-dreaming.

Every time I find an area more frustrating than the last in "Silksong", I immediately forgive it when I get to the reward of an incredible scene just beyond.
Every frame a painting, for real. Great game.
