Strongly dislike getting ripped off by almost every giant corporation I have any interaction with.

If I ever win the lottery (we don’t even play but hey maybe) I’m putting some chunk of it into a game publisher

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask

Jesus fucking christ WB management is a bunch of idiots if they couldn't keep some of its most reliable game studios up and running to put out a WONDER WOMAN game!!!

Whee, another Exceeds Expectations review and promoted to staff engineer. Does this help with the impostor syndrome? Absolutely not.

hey, are you doomscrolling? fuck yeah, refresh that shit, i bet there are new posts by now

Yay found some @emberdione.bsky.social

Did a mockup of what a new interface for glyphs could look like~ Ideally the dressing room would be animated to show a preview of the glyph you have selected, and either a blank background or something class flavored like the Order Halls.

Dear everyone who rolls up in my comments when I’m talking about something that is not The Current Chaos, berating me that There Are More Important Things to Be Thinking About, please, and I say this with love, fuck all the way off into the sun, I will do as I please, unfollow me if it bothers you.

Not sure what @hestiah.wtf is up to this evening but her dog has colonized my couch and this invasion is very cute ugh

hard to want to work today

Hoo boy. Urge to return to Australia at record levels

it is an enormous waste of time and energy trying to make people who will never respect you do so. look for the people who treat you well from the get-go and foster those relationships instead

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

I'm calling them Twitter and the Gulf of Mexico in this house and anyone who says different is cordially invited to eat my ass. Forever.

I really appreciate the people who argue about if it was a Nazi salute or not. It makes it so easy to find and block the Nazis.

Netflix raising prices AGAIN? What the fuck, how about no *unsubscribes*

Did you know? None of the Apple staff who worked on getting that U2 album sent to everyone's iPhones in 2014 got paid for it. All that work was pro bono.

need this shirt

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

stop making me call you to make an appointment, it's 2025, let me do it online!!

That didn't need to be a phone call

Hamilton is fun so far!

We are in hell

Ah yes, love watching people I’ve worked with for years now gradually being deactivated from Slack. Such a great time for anyone to be looking for a job in tech. … I should probably start looking anyway

Today is Jack’s birthday. So here are some photos of Jack! Happy 3rd birthday little buddy!! ♥️

people would rather learn mandarin than use zuckerberg's products and i just think that's beautiful

You learn something new every day. It’s generally pretty horrifying.

We’re going to see Hamilton tomorrow night, I’m surprised @hestiah.wtf hasn’t been watching it on repeat tbh

It’s pretty easy to tell when @hestiah.wtf isn’t home - I am 100% the spare person for Gwen (brown)

We went to the club last night ( Sam’s club ), such party animals. We also didn’t get the SINGLE THING WE NEEDED 🫠

tired of living in the "everyone has lost their damn mind" timeline

not everyone in LA is rich. what a flattened, juvenile way of looking at things. do you also think the only jobs that exist are schoolteacher baseball player and ballerina. if we could hear your thoughts would they just be la la la laaa

I'm pretty tired of my skincare adventures, maybe this La Roche-Posay cleanser/moisturizer will work and not make things worse 😓 So far it hasn't massively dried out my skin or made my face feel weirdly tight, that's a good start right?
