15 years, over 70 games including War Thunder, Star Conflict, Kick the Buddy/Buddyman franchise, Prominence Poker, dozens of point and click hidden object games, etc.
Hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue written, edited, recorded, mastered. And now I’m tired.

He’s been in jail and life has been so nice, but all good things eventually end. 😩
Wrote about my stalker, Bryan Betancur, who wore an ankle monitor to storm the US Capitol. The monitor was part of his probation for breaking into an elementary school -- years after he was suspended from BCPS for threatening to shoot up his high school.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."
I chose Larry Summers.
Better late than never.

I mean, Jonathan Greenblatt has really set the bar here
The pro-Nick Fuentes Administration destroying people and institutions on the basis of “fighting antisemitism” has me losing my damn mind.
The Nazi-sympathizers pretending to be protectors of American Jews has to be one of the most profound mindfucks in an era rife with them.

Look, please understand I’m not being facetious, but my honest first take at seeing this image was thinking that it was an AI generated photo of a woman meant to look like Handsome Squidward
Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor Olivia Nuzzi was a star political correspondent until scandal led her into exile—and to a California up in flames.
In an excerpt from her book, ‘American Canto,’ she takes stock of scorched earth.

Anyhoo, here's a paper about "the centrality of housing concerns in facilitating the Holocaust and the complicity of individuals in the exclusion of Jews for economic, ideological, and geographic reasons."

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Do you think Trump will just up and say it someday soon before he dies, “So I raped some girls? So what about it?”

I’ve worked on over 70 games and I was often so frustrated how so many developers waited until the last second to write dialog and give the script to me to cast and record. If they let us explore the script and make changes, the game always turned out better or even helped become a big hit.
If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

So anyone else remember how Trump said the same thing in his first term? His views are all conveniences for how they impact him. It shows clearly that he holds contradictory things as true in his mind: “I need to use ICE to punish my enemies” and “immigrants are good labor”

Corporations invaded the net, took it over and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare. But they are ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they are leaving it behind for something abstract and better.
Let them take the net as long as we can take back the real world.
