New podcast. This is about how an extinction event created coal, a 16th century saint who dreamt that Christ had sex with her heart, and a forest in the state of Israel named after Eamon Devalera. Please enjoy. open.spotify.com/episode/5vyr...

Had a dreamy summer solstice. Barbecue, cake, sea swimming, and a lie down in the garden. Even gave the cat an extended curfew so she could enjoy the warm night air.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.
It’s a real mindfuck when most ppl wanna post about their latest failures/successes, or weird shit they saw in the wild or cool stuff they made…but the country is a cesspool so cool/weird shit seems trite.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?"
99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Geneviève is right. Since @eeoor.bsky.social and I gave our talk on burnout at GDC last year, the most common question I get from burned out devs is, “How do I keep my job and recover?” They don’t typically like my answer, but it’s honest and sourced.
Had a chat with a friend who is clearly burnt out but still at work.
The problem is that if you wait too long to seek help and take care of yourself your rope can just end up snapping suddenly. It’s a very long road to recovery after this.
Friends, if you feel burnt out please seek help 🙏

It's been two months. I suppose it's good that I've had a week or so of feeling okay, but as I dip my toes into some client work, I am feeling particularly sad about having been laid off. The work is cool and interesting, I just miss my old colleagues, and the people I'd usually bounce ideas off.

Announcing: Mandrake!
You play the last of the Mandrakes, a sorcerous line of gardeners.
Horticulture is a cursed practice... except to you. Your family line is steeped in the green and growing arts, so you’re able to grow such marvels as: runner beans! Cherry trees! The humble turnip! 🌳

I'm so grateful for Oblivion saving my bank balance, because there's no way I'm getting a Switch 2 until I run the Thieves Guild and the Brotherhood and complete the main quest and also then do the same again in Skyrim.

I fucking love gadgets. I like new things. I set up a gadget savings account ten years ago to restrict myself on gadget purchases because I am a gadget loving freak.
Pretty amazing for the tech industry to make someone like me into a tech dethusiast in a matter of five years.

Well I'm out of a job (layoffs), so I guess it's time to start posting on the old social media again.
I'd love to tell you that I post all about tech writing and gamedev documentation (my job), but it's more likely I'll post about games, crochet, being outside, being online, and cat ownership.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟
