I decided to permanently leave the Other Place and set up shop here.
I like talking about the game industry, media effects research, film, television, and streaming platforms like Twitch. So if you're into that kind of stuff, I hope our paths cross over here.

I think one of my central disappointments with Twitch's platform has been the loss of its sense of humanness and community. Their callous use of AI imagery not only damages the brand and everyone associated with it, it also is work that could have easily been done by real people who care. Hollow.

Twitch is making a change to its VOD storage system on April 19th. For those of us who have been on the platform for a long time, this really sucks - Twitch has slowly been chipping away at streamers' ability to maintain their channel history.

On Sunday I got to host a community award show. I've been doing it for about eight years now once a year.
I don't want to talk about growth or engagement but what I do want to talk about is kindness, both how it has personally impacted me and what I've noticed about it impacting others. Thread:

I thought it would be fun to do a mini review thread for the 50 games in #UFO50
I'll probably just add a game or two a day, but thought it'd be fun!
And I'll try to keep the reviews short, like the games.

Was thinking today about the first time I booted up Skyrim and what a magical feeling it was the first time you’re out in the open and looking up at the sky and realizing you can go anywhere.
