Black cat curled up and asleep in a cat bed.

Zzzzzzzz...

Bonus: awkwardly googling "friendherpes" to make sure that's not a slang term that I've never heard before that already means something.

Popular meme saying "This cat is pushing a watermelon out of a lake. Your argument is invalid." with the cat doing exactly that.

Friend-core!

Black cat on a tube shaped piece of a cat tree but gripping it instead of relaxing.

A momentary pause in the zoomies.

Very fluffy tabby and white cat plopped in the middle of a martial arts floor.

Lazy training partner.

I gigglesnorted at "Ally McBeezelbub."

Oh no. 🙁

Until/unless I get a "real job", Eldritch 2 is what I'm working on now. I'd appreciate it if you'd give it a wishlist!

I've been documenting its development as a hobby project for the last two years over here: www.dphrygian.com/wordpress/?c...

Kitty!

Dude looks so worried you're gonna punch him.

Bare trees in front of a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

Happy Wednesday.

Tortie cat climbing onto a human whose feet are propped up so that the legs make a nice kitty bridge.

Excuse me I have no scritches.

Happy Cheap Chocolate Day to all who celebrate.

Okay, so yeah, can we please come up with another term to replace "friendslop"? I feel like "slop" is not the right term here, because it isn't about the quality of the product at all!

I've done some cool stuff on shooters! But writing this reminded me of just how rough that time was. No wonder I burnt out on this industry so hard the first time around. gcarlson.ragnarok-studios.com/shooters/

I have been working on an online portfolio. It's nowhere near finished, but it's far enough along that I won't be embarrassed for someone to see it. gcarlson.ragnarok-studios.com

Today's Eldritch 2 devlog: life updates and where the game may be going next.

Black cat curled up on the arm of a chair with a fuzzy blanket visible in the corner and shelves of books and board games in the background.

Basement Cat has noticed that I now have time to read in the mornings. Or as he sees it, time for scritches.

Hoisted by my own petard: LIVE

Me at 9 AM: Ok, job searching is my full time job. Let's go.
Me at 11:30 AM: I've been networking ALL DAY, I can't stand it, I need a vacation, please make it stop. Why can't I just crawl in a hole and code.

I've worked with Nick for years, and I can tell you that he knows his stuff and has a good heart. But what really sets him apart is that he's so keyed in with the latest industry trends and best practices.

@occultgamedev.bsky.social?

If you need to hire an engineer who can solve the hardest problems, a lead who can do right by the project, the studio and the team, and/or a really good human being, do I have some good news for you!

Absolute wizards. Veritable wizards. Unquestioned wizards. (too soon?)

Any leads on gameplay engineer, systems designer, or technical designer roles are appreciated. And if you need anything else, lmk because I can probably connect you with an absolute wizard.

Today was my last day at Question, and I am looking for my next opportunity. It has been an incredible 4 1/2 years, and I can't overstate how wonderful the studio and the team have been, or how proud I am to have been a part of it.

Could such an innocent face possibly be the one to disrupt my breakfast plans by stealing my avocado and tearing it to shreds? Spoiler: yes.

(Texas is a big state, but one of those is probably near you!)
