well I’m going to the Hatsune Miku Expo with a sinus infection that’s stripped me of most of my hearing in one of my ears

Andy Weir: I fucking love hard-science science fiction

me screaming at how unrealistic the language shit is in Project Hail Mary

trying to do my day job and go to the dentist and make an appointment for 6 months in the future when the world is like.... this.... is ridiculous

me when a guy I hate is bald (derogatory) and ugly

Brekkie Bros. out NOW at sadfolks.itch.io/brekkie-bros

These are the only bros that are OFFICIALLY pooting with power!

I feel like at times I’ve investigated myself for so many personality disorders and things and it usually just boils down to “no one played with me when I was a child” which is something I like to jokingly say but as I explore my youth uhhhhhh it’s like actually I was neglected?? so it’s hehe uh oh

can’t stop thinking about how at the first day at my new job one of the dudes ended a meeting by going “ok guys, that’s it for today *suddenly remembers I’m in the call* well…not guys anymore” and I had to be like “no no hit me with the ‘guys’ whenever you want I’m guys we’re ok”

game developers don't owe you fun

it feels good to make something that works when you don’t know what you’re doing. you know you’re a better person because you built something.

so for non-devs, it’s like unlocking a secret they felt too stupid to explore before. “This is for smart people and I can do it!”

I have no idea what I’m doing hehehehehe

this is bisexual culture

Balatro Gambit

so all the puzzles are post-game loaded.

I found a lot of them to be clever. I had fun figuring them out, but I wish the game had let you in on some things earlier so you could intersperse them throughout.

also for a soulslike the movement was extremely frustrating.

overall, it was ok

this just in: I have found the worst puzzle game inside of Tunic

The Witness

Tunic is not a puzzle game

Tunic is a soulslike game that has metroidvania elements and knowledge check points

I just rolled what I assume is a bad end and I do not feel like I solved a single “puzzle”

hope I get proven wrong at some point if I keep playing

trying not to let playing games by people better than me make me feel inferior as I try to learn how to make what I want to make but holy shit I am but a speck

I actually have streamed more in the past 2 weeks than in a long time before that because I started Look Outside and I can't stop playing it

had the honor of playtesting this one! unique and interesting nostalgia based gameplay with just enough heart and character that I wanted to keep going even after game overing .... repeatedly.... something that could only be made by the person who made it. and it's free!

I typically avoid expressing things about what I went through at GDQ because the staff member who was the reason I quit still works there and I find my feelings about the good the org does outweighs the negativity and spite I still have in my heart. Somehow.

me when someone I never liked turns out to be a bad person: oh noooooo anyway

becoming a better story teller by rolling dice

I ended up getting the role. it is more in my skill set than my current one. I'll write actual code at work again. exactly the same salary. a boss who knows what I can do. it's a huge improvement.

I also finally got my neuropsych testing done! so... productive but stressful.

it's been a really stressful couple of weeks: I found out that my team at work was changing & I was being demoted (they said it "wasn't a demotion" but one of my peers would have been my boss). the same day I found this out, I got a message from an old boss asking me about a role he had open.

There’s some Reddit posts that point out more than I realized, but I don’t want to elaborate too much as I think it’ll be main spoilers for either series. Even just things like “protagonist is a self centered evil man who is being chased by someone close to him” is where my realization started.

ok after a cursory look around this is not breaking news to anyone but me

in my defense, I watched BB when it aired, then watched DN last year, and am now rewatching BB

I JUST REALIZED BREAKING BAD IS DEATH NOTE

I finally got a negative review on "In The Foundations." I think maybe when I was younger I would have felt bad, but I think that it's maybe more interesting to me now to see someone not being able to understand something I wrote, especially with the context they left in the review.

Hey. I realized the ultimate story like this is actually Prey (2017). Top 15 game of all time to me.

I think that in 2014 maybe "Is robots people?" was more interesting, but after Nier, Severance, Expedition 33, etc. I'm quite over the "What is a people?" thought experiment.

nothing is people except for people. no facsimile of a person is a person, even if that thing can "Think" and "Feel."

tried to scratch the puzzle itch with The Talos Principle but the amount of samey puzzles has me at the point where I unlock floor 4 and see I need to solve 10 more red piece puzzles to even get to 5, and knowing there's at least 1 floor after that... girl I'm tired
