Y'ALL I kept reading and I found the best sentence ever written. "I've been doing this every day for roughly a week now, and it is clearly the future."
Reading posts on LinkedIn formatted like a PowerPoint presentation’s script with the tonal delivery of a used car salesman on too much cocaine.
I need a distraction. Should I draw fanart? Suggestions open! PS I only draw babes or hot dudes. I don’t make the rules it’s just how things work 🤷 make of that what you will idc
Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x
I need someone to help me not suck at adding some background elements to my drawings 🙃

Waking up to discourse and bad faith quote posts because people can’t be bothered to either understand the essence of an article’s title, or just simply read the article. Some people just really prefer talking about waffles.
When I’m back in Mtl I’m going to have so many lunches and afterworks with so many people I will explode from acute weight gain and happiness.
Against all odds I’m actually having conversations with various studios 🙃
POV you’ve signed a promise to sell your apartment
I cleared the entire content of Love and Deepspace that isn’t locked behind a paywall and then some. This game was not ready for my hardcore brain. They really need to fix their shit and release new story bits though. ‘Cause damn dailies are not going to make me come back much 😔
An underrated snack is to heat up a piece of hard cheese in the microwave and eat it with a fork. Jarlsberg is an excellent contender for this. You’re welcome
Public/marketing discourse skewing to the youth, as if a 20 year old’s perception of my life experience mattered in establishing my value or pertinence of opinions. lol yeah ok Can we celebrate a plurality of perspectives instead?
I'm actually fine with sounding old.
Can’t help but scratch my head whenever I see people make ballpark estimates of dev salaries, like “oh 30 million dollars pays for 80 devs for a whole year”. Hate to break it to you but west coast salaries are an exception, and not all devs are seniors or programmers. It’s several hundred devs.
Read an article that made me want to take a long walk and slow deep breaths.
I thought maybe I needed a little more rot in my life. Love and Deepspace gave me the nudge I needed to buy a bunch of otome on the Switch 🫡 oop (v. open to recos)
Time for a re-read* *yes absolutely bring all the stuff that brings you joy on international moves and don’t let go
There are days where I just can’t ink to save my life 🫠
Happy to report that Murphy’s law is still going strong. I have now found my original bluray disk forgotten in my Tron case. Today of all days.
So a few years ago I lost my Pacific Rim bluray disk. Not the case - just the disk?? Pure tragedy. Anyway. I treated myself and you know what I’m doing tonight. Sorry not sorry, neighbours 🥹 ✨✨✨✨👌👌✨✨✨✨
I hadn't installed Steam on my MacBook yet, and hadn't realized I could play a lot of my purchased games on more than my PC. Anyway. I've now installed about two dozen crpgs on my fruity laptop👌

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.
The games industry is stifled by a culture of fear, concludes a workgroup hosted by Rami Ismail. https://bit.ly/4vPbIzv
A humble proposal to stop using the word content.
Omg you guys there is so much to say… Read the alt - there is no way I could work with the character limits. There is still a lot to say though. Bless this game.
I think the worst part of selling your apartment is an unexpected private viewing when you hadn’t fixed up the place yet this is super chill no problem it’ll be a mess but please buy it for an insane amount of money thanks.
