For real, a vortex of scary is opening beneath me. Falling in. Screaming. Will report back.

My attorney is having email server issues. Asked if I knew anything about web tech. I told them I used to produce a computer help show called The Screen Savers. They said they loved that show … when they were a kid. Bury me now.
Scariness intensifies.
twitter fail whale, but it is butterflies and a grub
What a guy
I am not an exception to this.
One of the unfortunate things about social media is it’s way too easy to share opinions without the appropriate amount of self reflection. A lot of folks get way out over their skis.
Cool. Who’s next?
Ranch Liberal
It’s very cool. Great quote, too.
Please tell me there’s a Moon Joy t-shirt.
The connection tonight other humans is what I miss lost about my former job. I try to reach out to some, but like you said, it’s awkward.
Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.
This shit is cool I don’t care who you are.
I just had someone tell me to fax them something. I asked if carrier pigeon wasn’t an option.
😬
Doing scary things. Wish me luck.
You know this, I'm sure, but just to reiterate:
You are totally normal if this all feels like too much. If you're freaking out and having trouble getting through your day to day.
Disconnect for at least an hour a day. It's important to be informed, but you have to protect your mental health.
TACOs tonight.
You continue to inspire.
Funny story: When we spun out Spry Fox from Netflix to be a new independent studio we talked to a bunch of folks about:
* How we gave ownership of the company to the employees.
* On top of remote work. And a 40 hour work week with no crunch.
The big beat: What is a better model for a game studio?
Watched Nuremberg over the weekend. It’s not a great movie, but worth watching right now, for reasons.
A tub of Nutella floating around the capsule. Thanks to Artemis II that's the furthest a tub of Nutella has been from Earth. #Artemisii #Artemis
Part of why Bsky feels like it’s “dying” is because most people here are so fucking serious all the damn time. That’s not sustainable. And again, I get it. Shit’s terrible. But that doesn’t mean we have to give up finding joy. Quite the opposite. We MUST.
Picked up Star Trek Voyager Across the Unknown. I’m loving it. If you enjoyed the base building and resource management of XCOM 2, you’ll enjoy this. Fills in a LOT of blanks from the TV show IRT how they managed to survive. Exploration, research, combat, story. All top-notch.
