My three year old is suddenly very into Pokemon thanks to Pokopia, and already understands that people have six. She’s picked her six and I’m mildly concerned about the obvious theming:

A series of Pokemon thumbnails of a three year old’s favorites: charmander, torkoal, torchic, charcadet, scorbunny, and onix, most of which are Fire types which gives the author some concerns

Absolutely love this kind of design documentation, and it's very close to the model I use for both design and product feature documents. I do add two pieces to this model: Rationale (Why?) and Priority (which parts of this design are vital, and which can come later?), but same basic idea.

If we're doing game design doc discourse, I highly, highly recommend following this template from @kchironis.bsky.social

What's your Star Trek project only you would love? Star Trek: Galaxy, a procedurally generated open galaxy game inspired by Stellaris and Crusader Kings, except instead of a 4X you're following one customizable ship through its many iterations across the Trek timeline, FTL-style.

What is your Star Trek project that only you would love? A non-Starfleet ship-based series where the characters are activists and anarchists too radical for the centrist Federation. Think Greenpeace in space. No ranks, no uniforms. Screw your Prime Directive, those people need help, etc…

Grocery shopping in the early 00s with too little sleep and a Star Wars shirt, I make a comment about bread to a gorgeous woman who glances at my shirt and looks tired. She’s polite and nice but seems awkward, so I excuse myself which visibly surprises her. Later I realize it was Natalie Portman.

Had a newer associate game dev thank me today for taking them out to lunch right when they started. They said it helped them be more comfortable actually being a gamedev, because the impostor syndrome was hard. Realized I’d come full circle from when @harvey1966.bsky.social did the same for me.

Thanks to @ass.golf I am now unable to meet anyone named Penelope without immediately thinking of pronouncing it to rhyme with "antelope", which I just sort of suppress. Today I interviewed someone who, as an intro, went "or you can say it like pen-ell-ohp if you like" and it very nearly broke me

Been processing grief over the suicide of my brother-in-law via minis painting, and have nearly finished this project. As I’ve read about them, Blood Angels have felt very apt. Rest in peace, Sam.

A fully painted Warhammer 40K Blood Angels army, consisting of 43 minis, most of which are troopers and leaders with jump packs and one of which is a flying tank.
