A bit niche, but you may want to join my #twitch stream tomorrow morning at 9AM Pacific, ending our long play of #Satisfactory. We'll have original music (including "Sixteen Nodes", the song I wrote for the game), and PRIZES?
At 9AM Pac we will ~~Save The Day~~
... and then ask "now what?

I was diagnosed with advanced Type 1 #Narcolepsy. A serious neurological condition that is not about being tired or sleepy at all! Watch for 30 seconds: I shut off like a light switch and turn on again. This is what narcolepsy is, not sleep but a light switch. Weird watching from outside! #notsleepy

"Train delayed due to rocket launch" is easily the coolest thing I've encountered in years, 19th century tech and 21st mixing it up...
Rocket launched, wall of sound hit us, and then back on the train to LA.

Photo bombed by a #hummingbird #bird while I was taking a much less interesting pic of a garden decoration. We have a baby over our front door, so maybe that is mom out for a quick snack before dark...

Now created 13 genre versions of my stream theme song "Genre Hero." They range from Glam Rock to Medieval to Psychedelic to Opera to Bossa Nova and Hyphy.
The genres I love (glam rock, psychedelic) are really hard to work with. For, say, hyphy it's easier to say "done" than some desert rock...

This is a bigger mystery than anything going on in #Expedition33 ... I don't even get to know WHO is earning these things.

Sometimes I look at what I choose to do to be a better game designer and I wonder just how much medical and psychological research is "too much..."
I can sum up the paper and point at its cites, but I ain't a doctor or even play one on TV.

"Would you like a grilled cheese?" Yes!
What I get...
Bread, Butter, Cheese, Dried Onions, Hot Honey.
This is... a meal, and a beautiful thing to behold!

Nooobody is wearing masks this year at #GDC. This isn't pandemic nonsense... Haven't these people heard of Con Crud? If you see me, put me on an ice floe. I've been to too many conventions...

I love it when my newsreader pops up with "WBFG: Meteorites Land in northern Washington county." That is simultaneously a ton of info and none at all!

Tonight's #twitchstream is "Love is Just a Number" and I'll be playing the Sims 4 while we discuss this. The bad voice acting is in #Simlish, and as always we'll be using a China Mieville book for an analogy. Hosted by PieTrap Studios, check my bio for where to go! #gamedev #gamedesign #indie

Tonight is a dry run of my Thursday scripted show: #Sims4 is the game, and "Love is Just a Number" is the topic. We're going to look under the hood on how we quantify emotions, discuss a bit of the complexities, and watch a lot of Sims behaving badly. 8-10p Pac at twitch.tv/cloudyeller #gamedesign

Lessons from Saturday's rambleplay: Sims 4 does not have an easy aspect ratio for ultrawide, and made it a struggle. It ended up pinched, which is bad and will be fixed by Tuesday.
Being on camera led to a lot of good feedback to make me prettier and less "Steve."
Topic was fun, and I had fun.

I will be picking up 2 more discussion #stream sessions per week! Tuesdays and Saturdays (tonight!) 8-10pm Pac. Each session I play a different game and provide thoughts on #gamedesign and #gametheory using the game.
My primary stream is still Thursdays 7-9pm, at PieTrap Studios.
