BAT is a chaos menace. I can already tell the terrible twos will hit us hard when the time comes.
Bloody exhausted by that one CrapGPT template being used for posters over and over and over and over and over and over again. Where have all the "graphic design is my passions" gone? 😭

I am dumping sludge on my head for the kids at BC Children's Hospital. Every dollar to my Extra Life (until EOD) equals one cup into the bucket for tomorrows drop. Sludge me, Seymour! dd.extra-life.org/participants...

“And that’s the kind of day it’s been,” this August 4, 2026. So long for now, Lloyd Robertson. You were the iconic news person of my childhood, and the voice I thought about when I first started presenting weekly in meetings.
What a huge loss for Canada. Lloyd Robertson was a giant in Canadian news journalism and broadcasting. They don’t make them like Lloyd any more. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Steam Deck and contact naps still holding it down for my achievement hunting.
Achievement check-in. I'd like to thank my Steam Deck for being the real MVP of contact napping.

Fun fact! Steam has done this Showcase of Showcases page at least 3 years running, and annual events are usually (with some exceptions) made as unique pages Meaning: grab that URL, change the year to 2024 or 2025 to find your way to older show catalogues too - whose featured games may be out now!
If you're a normal person who didn't subject themselves to 100 hours of non-stop commercials, but you still want to see a lot of what was shown off at Zombie E3, this Steam page with all of the showcases and their games (that are on Steam) is super useful: store.steampowered.com/sale/summer_...
Oh, hi, June. Where'd you sneak up from?

Accessibility in games is good business, good design, and good community. Every accessibility feature you build doesn’t just remove a barrier, but opens your game to more stories, more players, and more meaningful engagement. That’s not charity, it’s growth.

One of these days I'm going to open my mtg Bloomburrow booster box. But it is unlikely to be this day!

Digital accessibility has a lot of myths around it. I could talk about it forever but let’s clear up a few common misconceptions. 🧵
Alright, I am invested. Here's the two from Nell's Diner in @playphasmo.bsky.social, @decafjedi.com. Now to see if we added more to Apex. :D

Not too shabby while balancing a newborn gremlin. PS. Steam Replay not counting until the end of the year is crumbs and all the 2025 achievements deserve to be.
