All right we’re on to page four of Blue Prince notes, lfg

RIP to a real one

worried we’re spending too much time emphasizing that someone is a Student or Writer or Not A Criminal or Not Involved In Protests or just a Good Person and not enough time remembering that *no one* should be disappeared, detained, deported to horrific camps

Forever grateful to A Goofy Movie for many reasons, but letting us live in Paris and and watch this movie being made is up at the top

what else is marketing for but making the devs recreate your favorite songs in game 🙏🏼

Thrilled to be able to share our own Name That Tune 🎶

just sent a text to the family group chat that mentioned not one but BOTH of the family Victrolas, so glad to know as a unit we remain on brand

thought there was a bright spot in the world and Powell & Pressburger was trending but alas

It's been an amazing year (ish) leading social & community strategy with @blacksaltgames.com for DREDGE, but like all good things, it must come to an end. 🎣😭 Please enjoy footage of me completely wrecking my boat seconds after being given debug tools and setting my speed to max. Go play DREDGE!

It has been a very busy and exciting week for the Black Salt Games Crew at GDC! Nadia Thorne did a phenomenonal talk on strategic approaches for small teams with big ambitions. DREDGE additionally was featured in two talks done by our friends Joe Cruz at Unity and Jon Manning with Yarn Spinner.

my lil GDC tip is if you play your cards right, you can convince coworkers from New Zealand and England to bring you The Good Chocolate

Kicking off GDC with a delayed flight but hey it can only go up from here (and at least I’m in SF now)

maybe targeted ads are good after all

One of the first five reports on Did You Feel It (4.1 out by Leo Carrillo) will be riding this high for the foreseeable future earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

1990s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay exhibit bc veterans and historians can’t agree whether we should celebrate its role in ending WWII or critically assess the decision to use nuclear weapons 2020s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay bc “gay” is a no-no word

Finally started Severance (the last person on the planet to) but thrilled I recognized the Lumon HQ as the old Bell Labs building, from these gorgeous photos by Christopher Payne that have lived in my head since I first saw them more here: www.chrispaynephoto.com/bell-labs-1

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Two Next Fests down and turns out they DON'T get less stressful the more you do them 😅 (but hey, the high of seeing folks play the game and enjoy it IS pretty great)

running to fill out the USGS’ Did You Feel It survey after an earthquake gives me the same rush as opening up Letterboxd after a movie

OSCARS EARTHQUAKE

Thank you Mikey Madison for giving us Valley Girl rep at the Oscars!!!

Honestly maybe this is my A-List talking but movies in theaters really are the best, good on Sean Baker!

Paul Tazewell’s designs live rent free in my head at all times so WELL DESERVED #oscars

I cannot express how glad I am to have an actually funny host at the Oscars

Pocket-sized horror fishing, now available! (and it's still such a delight to play)

Exciting exciting day for Tempopo!! Release date announce + Game Pass + Steam Next Fest! 😱 Go play it on Steam now, you will love it

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

Cannot WAIT for you all to play this game!!!

the horrors persist, etc etc
