It's Christmas time, and on Christmas more than ever, you can count on your loved ones to see you exactly for what you are... and to take pictures of it 😑 #OnlyMyFirstDrink

It occurs to me, after reading posts getting it spectacularly wrong, that there are a lot of misconceptions over how game studios organize and, in particular, who makes the actual decisions about what ends up in your game. Much of it is by folks who don't *try* to get it... but not all, surely. 1/🧵

This video put such a smile on my face. I'm just starved for content where normal and fun people are being normal and nice to each other.

Still this (Coffee Talk H&B): "They discussed stars and planets, clouds and suns. They talked of harvest and young children, of famines and old men. They talked of time and of eternity, and as they looked into each other's eyes, they found both the briefest of moments and the longest era there."

Xmas tree time 🌲🥳

Had a (masked, socially distant, very lovely) Xmas pre-celebration with non-nesting partner before he flies away for the holidays, and he gifted me the prettiest shoes. As I was trying them on, I realised that this here outfit has got to be my purest outward expression of self.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinkinge across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once but perfectlye. Thy tyme ys unquantifiable.

Owning a Kawase Hasui print someday is very high on my bucket list. His delicate atmospheres are something else. Pure beauty. (Shin-hanga in general is wonderful.)

On which topic, actually, I'm curious. Creative jobs people who have had a burnout: how did you cope when you started having new ideas again but knew you weren't ready to work on them yet? Store them for safekeeping? Outline them a bit and leave? Something else?

Me: I have too much work. Too much family stuff. I'm burnt out. I've been sick 3 times in 1 month. I need a break. Also me: I just had an idea for an indie game! So cool! Let's see, how long would it take me to whitebox something?

With age comes wisdom. Replaying Dragon Age: Origins, and have already slept with Zev *checks notes* twice. Love you, Alistair and Morrigan, but snarky elves are too fun to ignore.

Lying in bed and trying to progress through #LOKDigital. Rarely have I loved this much something that makes me feel so brain-empty-not-a-thought.

Reporting direct from the middle of my 4th or 5th COVID (I'm kinda losing count) that it still. Feels. Shit. Collectively bringing back testing before going to large events would be a good shout 😔

HEAT was released 29 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great crime thrillers of the 1990s, and the film that brought Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on screen together, the making of story will walk out on you in 30 seconds flat… 1/46
