Game designer, dancer, and menace. The living epitome of "bangers only". If you don't know me from my games, you should actually check them out. Some of them are good. Some of them are intentionally bad. 🎮 Hexavexagon.itch.io 📺 Twitch.tv/hexavexagon

Similarly, I know that people don't jump through hoops mentally because they want to, but if they're honest with themselves and stop jumping through hoops, the justification for animal product industry is simply not there.

Something I often struggle to put into words is that I don't want to be excused for bad behavior even if I have made that decision based on understandable circumstances. This thread (which is excellent end-to-end) does a great job of demonstrating why that mindset is against our own interests.

But it seems to me that most people, when it comes to food, begin with what they want to believe - my diet is right and ethical - and look for evidence to support it. I understand this: it's literally a visceral issue. But we have to try to get beyond what we want to believe, hard as that is.

When I discuss huge systemic issues, people say "but what I can I do?" When I mention something meaningful you can do immediately, people say (as the replies here show) "but what's the point, in the face of the huge systemic issues?" There are, it seems, plenty of people who want to be helpless.

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The dev intended experience of Synthetik is getting railed by absolutely every type of enemy in the game. The actual experience of Synthetik is sitting on the menu screen making the robot voice say all the different class names like you're staring into the fridge and can't decide what to eat.

When video games introduce a 'slipping on a banana peel' mechanic, and my immediate reaction is "That's so fucking stupid as hell. This would only be funny if I made my character slip on every one, as a bit.", which, fellas let me tell you, is exactly what playtesting is like.

And we have a #KiwiRPG blog festival going on, three new posts to share today! First: @hexavexagon.bsky.social explores Your First First Playtest - essential knowhow for #TTRPG devs (and a nice warmup for the panel starting at 7:30pm!) www.kiwirpg.com/blog/2026/07...

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"
