You ever watch a beloved movie from your high school days and think “maybe I SHOULD go to that reunion after all!” Only to then remember that no one from the movie actually went to your high school, and it’d be mostly assholes in attendance? No, just me?

Then oddly disconcerting effect of being in another room and hearing your computer make a notification sound you don’t recognize.
“Not teams, not slack, not discord. Did a meeting start? Build failed? What are you trying to tell me tiny chirp sound?!?”

High school - “You wont get extensions in the real world so you wont get them in this class.”
College - “Hey, life happens. Try and get me the assignment next class.”
Gamedev - “Yeah…we’ve decided to push the milestone out 6 months.”

I'm firmly in the "we don't know yet" camp, but
Young first-time voters breaking for Trump—young men 60-40 while young women go 55-45 for Harris—is some bleak shit.
& I can't help but look at young men at 60-40 and think: that's Joe Rogan, AsmngoId, the frothing anti-DEI ragers.
...That's gamers.

Weird that in a 50/50 race it feels like your candidate has to have everything break their way perfectly and the other candidate can just fall into the presidency. I don’t think that’s how math is supposed to work, but I draw pretty icon for a living, so who knows?

Haven’t bluesky’d in about a year, but I have a feeling I’m going to need a place on Tuesday, for good or for ill, that is not accessible by extended family.

The production design of the 2001 “Thirteen Ghosts” deserved a much better movie.
Industrial design meets glass brick meets overly ornate brush script Latin. You certainly were a thing that was released in the early aughts.

Honestly amazed at the amount of goodwill Unity has managed to burn through in one day. The gamedev subreddit is filled with wannabe developers asking which engine to switch to. Even if the rule change wouldn’t have hit them, the mistrust is now baked in.

The Embracer group still owes Gearbox employees several years of payments including cash and stocks. I don’t know what happens in the event of a Gearbox sale, but prior game industry history doesn’t make me optimistic for the rank and file.

Hello brain.
I’d like to reschedule your productive hours.
11pm to 3am isn’t ideal.
Is there a setting somewhere?
Cheers.
