My child came home from camp describing a movie they watched where “a man’s son falls into goop and he turns into Bigfoot but he doesn’t have a penis or vagina” and I honestly… don’t even WANT to know.

There’s a guy who wears a Spider-Man bodysuit in the park near my house and plays old standards on the saxophone, and not well. Except he has to cut out eye holes and a mouth hole, so he’s a grown man playing saxophone for people eating ice cream in what is effectively a Spider-Man gimp suit.
To my great shame, I slept on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. 10/10 Watch. Perfection.
My daughter has gotten very interested in writing songs. Tonight’s song: “Some of us are hairyyyyyy, some of us are perfectly nooooot. But we can still be a happy familyyyyyy” 🙄🙄🙄

After laying off Battlefield 6 devs, EA boss Andrew Wilson's bonus rose $8m to $38m last year, thanks to the game's success across "all milestones"
Andrew Wilson took home the staggering bonus, alongside his $1.3m base salary.

Everyone ignore the 4th of July and wish my kid a happy birthday instead.
Pennywise the clown out here writing the captions for my child's daycare photos.
New idea: Start making Xbox 360s again and make games for them. Like develop new games for the Xbox 360. I am not kidding.
I absolutely should have checked how long the airbrush tattoos at the company party last before getting this as a joke. (4 days is the answer)
Part two of my five-article series about game design aesthetics is here! Why am I talking about genres if the topic is personal design aesthetic? That will become clear later! Article three, about game design choices and how we make them, will come next week. #GameDesign
A Game Designer’s Genres - The Nameless Quality
Years ago, a more experienced game designer I worked with told me that I was still developing my “game design aesthetic”. I asked him what…

I have been impacted by the layoffs at Bungie/SIE. While today's news hurts, I do not have a single regret from my near 7 years here. I have grown so much as a Producer and a person and it's because of the people I worked with.
Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.
Ah yes...the steam sale is tmrw...ill be doing that tmrw afternoon instead with 10hr Wii shop music. Hope yall enjoy me selecting more indies!
It says a lot about the capitalist games machine that Destiny 2's final update were created with such love, respect, and care for the game and the community it built. The team worked to give it an incredible sendoff that will hopefully live on for years after it stops being updated...

Game Dev is so fun. Some days you're solving hard problems, thinking deeply about the player experience. Other days it's explaining what the brown note is.
My (half Australian) daughter told me I’m not allowed to celebrate Australia’s win yesterday because I’m not Australian 😂
This is the video game equivalent of being opposed to student loan forgiveness because you already paid yours off.
SoundTrail@soundtrail.bsky.social · 3mo agoI hope the Ocarina of Time remake leaves "no" as the default option so first-timers can experience the pain.
Putting this out into the ether for anyone who happens to see it. If you work, or have ever worked on Destiny: Thank you.
As a game designer, maybe you’ve got some high-level goals for a [system/level/feature], but how you achieve them is a blank slate. Too blank. Earlier in my career this meant undirected brainstorming until something clicked. Agonizing. Here’s my top-down strategy for this kind of brainstorming
headline after headline about the new scooby doo anime coming to tubi and literally not one "Tubi Dooby Doo". we've let the profession of copywriting wither on the vine
Going on a date with my wife for the first time in over 5 years tomorrow and I’m nervous do I kiss her or like ask if she wants to see me again how do I invite her back to my place if it goes well.
Not me tearing up this morning when my daughter started bawling her eyes out because she “didn’t have time to make you a comic for your birthday because you gave me all your X-Men Comics!” 😭
i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.
