Unsolicited Game opinion.

I don't feel qualified to say anything is game of the year.

But #Dispatch absolutely slaps.

An unapologetic game that knows exactly what it is and how it wants to go about it. Some of the best dialogue I've seen in a game.

#aew needs to put in a Women's C2 this year, the division is red hot and has so much depth.

How the hell is #aew just dropping THAT dynamite on TV for free?

That was a great PPV, let alone a TV episode.

Been loaded up by work, but I still exist! These kids ain't gonna make games themselves. (well a few of them might)

Also just got in @themonstersknow.com 's new book.

Can't wait to have time to actually read it. Just gotta survive to November, then back to development on my #ttrpg TWENTY FLIGHTS.

Today is a bit of an odd milestone for me.

I have been teaching #gamedev for 12 years now.

I have had past students working in AAA, indie and all points in between.

But today I found out that some of my old students made an indie studio and released their first game today. I am old.

Not me, but Peter's #ttrpg looks awesome

Well, the #gdc proposals are as done as I have bandwidth to do before football season kicks off. #udl in Game Dev Education and a #k12 Game Dev Education Roundtable, which has been sorely needed for years.

First day of school.

The number of kids rocking Slipknot shirts gives me a bit of hope for the future.

Ok #wrestlesky hear me out on this bad booking idea.

The #aew Rave Gauntlet.

@mikeyrukus.bsky.social makes a hayter rave style mix and that mix is the entrance order and timing.

When Rukus drops in a new theme. That is the next person in. Don't release the mix ahead of time. Still 1 fall.
