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

Each puzzle island requires different moves from your Tempopo, and they're happy to help in the best way they know how! 💥 smash to help a fellow Tempopo escape 🟧 🫷🏼 push a moving block to create a path 🌱 spin leaves to uplift to a higher level 🟩 become a block to help cross a gulf

this is how I will categorize all art from now on

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

I’m less excited about catching up this year bc my two favorites (A Different Man, Challengers) were snubbed, but nevertheless: Picture ⬛⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩 Editing ⬛⬛🟩⬛️🟩 Cinematography ⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 Prod Design 🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 Makeup ⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 Sound ⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ VFX ⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 #oscaround #oscars oscaround.com

When we're talking about an amendment that's explicitly about granting former enslaved people citizenship (whose ancestors were brought here by force AND enslaved status was based on their mothers!) this is a profoundly stupid take. Birthright citizenship is one of the best things about our country

This happens every 4-8 years when the major platforms (facebook, instagram, twitter, etc) rotate the accounts and archive the old ones, because they use an older snapshot of the following list to build the following list of the new ones. People think it's a conspiracy every time.

The thing is it’s impossible to square the need to pardon your family out of fear of a lawless president with the need to attend his inauguration to preserve democratic norms. If you have to do the former there no longer are democratic norms.

“how are you doing going into the three day weekend?”

Oh cool, how many of those things did you work on as the most powerful person in the country?

Tempopo just want to help Hana collect her flowers, but well, they need a bit of direction. Otherwise, well... ⤵️ Help them figure out the best path by selecting the direction they'll turn or action they'll take 🌹 (and Hana'll be keeping an eye on things in the corner, don't worry!)

For folks in IASTE (animation, editors, wga, etc) they’ve set up a disaster relief fund for members impacted by the fire. It’s something non-members can donate to too if friends and family out of state want to help: iatse.net/socal-fires/...

This is what you are looking for, my beautiful babies.

Not what I thought I'd be writing about when I picked the name Torched. Thanks to everyone for checking in. We're fine. Many of our friends are not fine. I tried my best to describe what's happening with the fires and what LA needs to do now www.torched.la/zero-percent...

The annual Chronicling of Media! I watched more movies, read less books (unexpected!) and played more games (I think?) than last year, and had a pretty good time overall. Here's to incredible stories in 2025!

oh my god

Below Deck has taken over the last half of the year for me, so I consider this a personal end of year gift

This is such a great piece that articulates the deep similarities between theatre and games and BOY it makes me want to watch the Yakuza play even though I’ve only experienced the games over @shoomlah.bsky.social’s shoulder: www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/11/28/s...

While hanging ornaments on the tree, @shoomlah.bsky.social: “Ok, so you do want to hang Boq or Fiero?”

well if it might not arrive by 12/25 what is even the point www.nbcstore.com/products/nos...

made this horse skull out of cardboard boxes and I am inordinately proud of it

No thoughts, only Tempopo 🎶 🩷

Days like this on social media feel like when a bird got into the classroom

I guess it's wishful thinking for industry recognition to come from independent critic orgs or well-vetted professional bodies and not the random salaried employees of the We Were So Racist We Had To Shut Down For A Bit Company (a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation)

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

This is 45% of the reason I’m throwing a birthday party tbh

Station Eleven is one of my favorite books, and the adaptation is everything I could have wanted (and more). Please, everyone watch it so I can talk about it with you (especially the costumes! and the shakespeare!)
