Well played Wendys. Well played.

Thoughts about how in-game skies provide a source of grounding for my own anxiety. #cptsd #neisvoid #bipolarsky #videogames #recoveryposse

Sunrise: How Skies in Video Games Help Me Work Through Extreme Anxiety

Since my move, I've grown fond of the early morning hours: silent, chilly, and dew-soaked, where the sky is still a darker blue as it welcomes the peach glow just before the sun makes its first appear...

Had a visitor stop by while sipping coffee this morning. I think he is either a sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk. #bird #Hawk #NoCo

This is what culture is. Our ancestors wrestled in mud to eke out some sliver of progress and now there are thousands of pages describing the intimate details of how Lestat from Interview with the Vampire might make love with Mario of the Mario Brothers.

Unironically this is what it feels like

I've been in a Metal Gear Rising mood and I just LOVE that soundtrack to pieces so here's my lil solo tribute to get me in the speed picky mood. The Only Thing I Know For Real aka Sam's theme. 😋🎸❤️

Encountered this lil guy while doing yard work this afternoon. #frog #outside

At the bookstore, I waved over a guy with an astronaut tattoo and a pride necklace. "I'm not your demographic," he said. "My book is about a female biker gang in space rescuing a gay prince," I said. "The sequel is about a sex-positive sexbot." "In space?" "In space." "I AM your demographic!"

Really annoyed by those emails that say "free x on us!" (in this case, x is a book), and then when you click through, it's actually "free x on us when you sign up, and signing up costs money." So...the book isn't free, then.

I am SO excited to share "Project Red" with players in the UK this November. (I am also VERY excited to share the game's real name when we announce... ) Reminder, we'll be at PAX West as part of PAX Rising. So it isn't a spoiler that we'll be announcing veeeeeeery soon!

Finding solace in the beauty of a video game, specifically in the sky, is extremely calming in situations like these. It’s also a perfect centering point for the effort it takes to regain control of my body. #cptsd #neisvoid #bipolarsky #videogames #recoveryposse

Saw this and had to make a video about it. Text size is way too small in games and if you're wondering what the size should be or why we need it, I just made a video about it. Thanks @duckvalentine.bsky.social for the article. youtu.be/YgpFiavCktE

Limerence is new thriller about a woman and her manipulative AI partner. @maddie-b-a.bsky.social speaks to @salixgames.bsky.social director Jessica Saunders about the human story at its center, inspired by numerous real-world experiences, which tries to show that "this could happen to anyone."

AI Boyfriend Thriller Limerence Is Still a Human Story

The indie studio's first attempt at building its own AI was "garbage," pushing them to instead make everything by hand
