Let's have a nice Sunday playing video games, okay? Playing Banjo-Kazooie, come chill www.twitch.tv/bookslap

My imposter syndrome is currently at an 11/10, and it seems that the world is literally disintegrating in front of us all today, so maybe I'll just not be on the internet for a little bit today.

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

This picture *should* convince everyone that AI was a mistake.

Y'all, do *not* put the wrong age into any verification system "as a joke". It will mess things up for you in ways you don't expect.

Also, strongly considering planning time off to stream Lies of P: Overture once we know the release date. Gonna BONK my way through with the legendary stalker AND chat.

Had the joy of being able to talk on stream last night about the game development concept I was reading about yesterday morning *organically*, without me forcing it into conversation. I don't know if anyone followed my word salad about rules and referees, but it made me happy, lol.

also i found this guy looking over my old fakemon drawings

Had to restart my computer to get my controller to decide to work, but I'm back! Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake www.twitch.tv/bookslap

Here’s the thing about Bluesky: It’s not algorithm based, so if you think it’s not fun, that’s a skill issue. You’re following the wrong people, and not following the right people. Tons of people out there post great, unique content on Bluesky. Find them.

It's really cool of The Pokemon Company to give me so many opportunities to be a hater by bringing back Mega Evolution. Seriously, worst feature in the whole franchise.

Sometimes we get emails from parents of the art their kids draw of crewmates, and you bet your booty I show as many of them to the team as I can manage.

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

All the excitement for Monster Hunter Wilds is so cute. I'm not gonna play it, but I love seeing so many people all over who are just vibrating with anticipation. I hope you all have a great time out there!

"Freedom...drives creativity" Lol, no. Problems drive creativity. Challenges to be overcome. Limitations. That's what "necessity is the mother of invention" *means*, and anyone who's ever actually made something knows that.

love to everyone effected by the ongoing murder of the video game industry

Starting our hardcore play through tonight! Expecting to get hurt a lot physically and emotionally by this game. Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake, wanna hang out? www.twitch.tv/bookslap

Haven't been posting stuff I've made lately, but I promise there's things going on and that I'll catch up soon.

“I deserve a little treat” I say in every aisle of the food store

I like how you can tell which Pokemon *someone* at The Pokemon Company really likes and goes to bat for a lot for if you pay close enough attention. Ex: Electabuzz, Magmar, Pachirisu

Hey, hey, hey, that’s me! Diddy Kong Racing was a really special game to me, so it was a blast joining @mcconnell.bsky.social and the @flashback64.bsky.social crew to read through the surprisingly wordy and narrative-heavy manual.

This is another sign I keep having to tap.

Wooper munching

NEW OUTERSLOTH GAME REVEAL. (Thanks to @caseyyano.bsky.social!) Try the demo. Have FUN. Gasp in wonder at GAME DEVELOPMENT. Say "GOOD JOB @nopopofun.bsky.social!" 🏰👄🏰

We don't leave family behind, do not comply. Protect each other.

Okay, is it just me or have spam calls/texts gone absolutely berserk since roughly November? Literally getting half a dozen of each per day.

I promise not to get my head stepped on by an indestructible monster bent on my total destruction. Pinky swear. Playing Resident Evil 3 Remake www.twitch.tv/bookslap

have you tried posting good? i haven’t

The last time we had King, things went very poorly for him. He lost his people, then his country, and then his mind. Any man who wants to be an American King deserves neither crown nor cap, neither scepter nor sanctuary, neither warm breeze nor a single easy breath. God we are fools.

Research is a human skill. Doing it fast is pointless. “It found all these sources! With links!” That you didn’t read. You’re like a college freshman who wants to do things the easy way, forgetting that learning comes from effort.

Finally time to close out RE Village! Just one achievement left, and then on to something new. Playing Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose www.twitch.tv/bookslap
