The EA news made me realize I don't know what EA even does any more. I mean, Sims. And (the underappreciated) Veilguard a few years ago. And Battlefield. But then I looked it up and it's all just the sports games. Wall to wall sports games. I want Petroglyph to buy the C&C IP.

Good little thread

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …

Long story short I'm now the proud owner of an Univega Alpina Uno. Vintage beaut. Getting it all fixed up and tuned with my bro this weekend. Life is funny sometimes.

I saw someone share this earlier this week but just finally got around to watching it and holy shit, what a talk. I think the content of it is super thought provoking but also, like, as an example of a medium itself. What a talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=17_H...

Hello puzzle game fans! This is another reminder that all our games are currently on sale on Steam! 🧩 store.steampowered.com/developer/dr...

I frequently say to my students "games are terrible until they are great"

Technology is cool, too bad they made it evil

Still stuck in the subway. No “anomalies” in sight.

My bike was stolen last week while I was hanging out with my friend Syd. Syd texts me a few days after to just say hey. I tell them about my bike. They're all "damn dude that sucks". Yesterday they text me with "this is crazy, but my roommate just asked me to help her sell two bikes".

man, gamedev. lotsa fun. this shit rules

I'm still bummed about my bike being stolen, but i think these might end up being the best pizzas I've made; i have a feeling about the dough. Good with the bad.

I feel like game devs are a unique combination of all of “doing some of the hardest software engineering”, “wild west cowboy bullshit”, and “hitting themselves in the head with hammers for no reason”

today will be a good day

they're great. another L for my haters
