time for my new favorite tumblr post

randomly remembering the year I had a romcom side quest during E3 that involved

-Sneaking a non industry person into a party
-Jumping into the Ocean at night with our cloths on
-Running down the street to stop the girl after we said good to make out in front of construction workers cheering

Thanks for the crush
(1/3)

Somehow, I'm glad this is over.
Somehow, I'm glad it's not you.
I should have seen this coming
But my eyes were too glued.

Somehow, I'll manage without you.
Somehow, I'll banish the flames.
Somewhat will grow deep inside there.
Somehow I know - that's my fate.

I've taught many people new to gamedev from kids to adult, from a practical educator lens I believe the main difference people credit to kids learning faster or easier than adults is they aren't yet consciously trying to avoid temporarily looking like a beginner at something

adding alt text to help

“How your kids treat you when they no longer need you to survive is exactly how they felt treated when they needed you to survive.”

i know my job has given me a, let's say "different" perspective from most people but so much of people's conflicts both internal and external are driven by demanding permanence from an impermanent world and becoming upset that such a thing is impossible

background

Opened Bluesky for the first time in months and this is the first post I see.

A majestic, beautiful beetle 🪲
Life is beautiful 🌿

I need to come here more often 😄

Finally! Gifs on Bluesky!

I was just trying to plug in a usb cable and my cat was sitting right next to me watching. Scene:

Me: argh wrong way
Cat: mrrow
Me: again? how
Cat: mrrrew?
Me: OMG finally got it
Cat: mrrrrew mrow!

And then we both walk away so proud

The way conservatives freak out about sex ed and also about teens not having sex isn’t logically inconsistent for them. They want young women and girls to have kids as soon as possible, in the hope they’ll be confined to domestic life and servitude before developing that pesky “adult independence”

This is also why they tell women they’ll be miserable without kids and marriage ASAP even though it’s demonstrably the opposite. Campaign of fear to undermine their autonomy and coerce them into the patriarchal status quo

I knew Chromeo for around 11-12 years now, but only heard "Fancy Footwork" a few months ago. Thought it was a rather new song.

Until today... when I've heard it playing on "The Sims 2" radio?!?! 😳 The shock, the disbelief, the astonishment...
