In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)

we lost an absolute legend today - not only a trailblazer but full of wit and so happy to share her adventures with the world.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself:
Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy
The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

It's time to reenact the printer scene from Office Space.
Google stopped letting owners of early Nest themostats remotely control their devices last month. But it's still remotely collecting extensive surveillance data from them: https://www.theverge.com/news/820600/google-nest-learning-thermostat-downgraded-data-collection #privacy
Google is collecting troves of data from downgraded Nest thermostats
The thermostats may no longer connect to Google’s app, but they still transmit your data.

You could just play critically acclaimed RPG Quest 64 for forever instead of interacting with slop and you'd probably be happier

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Making a game is essentially reinforcement training and when you reward a player by reacting to their behaviour you teach them to do that thing more often. What do you WANT the player to do more often? What should they see as exciting ground for experimentation and what is background noise

F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"
