How bizarre, this theatrical and pasteboard unconscious. Game & level designer, BioShock 2, Near Death, Psychonauts 2, Return to Moria, and others. He/him. Portland, OR.
GodlessPrimate@godlessprimate.bsky.social · last mo.When a normal person hears something as ridiculous as “one billion players a day,” they scoff and walk away diagonally. When an investor hears it, they get dollar signs in their eyes and salivate at the prospect of comically large dividends.
Chris Franklin@errant-signal.com · last mo.It is utterly unhinged to repeat the "one billion players a day" talking point as if it is a reasonable, attainable goal and not something that warrants skepticism if you're being generous and active derision if you're being honest
The homunculus in the pizza machine is forced day in and day out to produce mediocre pizza for the hungry masses waiting at the Busan blue line. And when the ingredients run out? Our little chef must wait, humiliated, unable to extrude anything from the pizza outlet.
The whole family is visiting my brother and his family in Seoul right now, and it’s really nice to have everyone together. Despite my parents vowing never to get on a rush hour subway car again, it’s actually gone surprisingly well.
Seoul is one of the most vibrant cities I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Tuesday evening at 10pm and there were so many people out enjoying themselves. Anyway, here’s a random street scene.
Asha Sharma’s plan to turn the business around in 100 days? Turn to explicitly predatory lending practices to increase people’s debt burdens. Rad.

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself in a dangerous limbo.
Jason Linkins@dceiver.bsky.social · 2mo agoOH NO! A "dangerous limbo" happened, per the New York Times, apparently all by itself!

My son, unprompted, did the same thing. I’m starting to worry my kids are colluding on my murder.

I just learned that fifa painted over the Wyland mural in Dallas for a fucking World Cup ad, and I’m livid.

Been thinking a lot about the Nightdive announcement of Thief, and how I think that’s great, and just want to play Nightdive remasters and remakes. And maybe anything that a Looking Glass-adjacent or Arkane-adjacent studio would make. It’s bad out there for imsims right now. Am I missing a bunch?
There’s a bunch of people in LA upset at the idea that Spencer Pratt could lose, so it must be voter fraud, but that’s a huge insult to the nearly 200,000 dorks who voted for him and got counted.
I love when recipes say “1 clove of garlic,” because then I find a big boy like this and it’s like, this follows the letter of the law, but not the spirit.
What if you ordered a million portapotties and nobody came?
Mediapolitic@mediapolitic.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.
This is a really good piece that very clearly outlines the real issues with child care: a patchwork, mostly-privatized system costs families too much and pays workers (who are almost all women) too little. We really have to fix this.
Katie@littlelistmaker.bsky.social · 2mo agoReally excellent piece challenging the underlying popular narratives about fraud that the right has weaponized. indypendent.org/2026/06/we-d...
My son, currently a second grader, came home today telling us that a girl in his class has a crush on him. “She said she has a crush on people who have the most aura.”
