You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

I was going to game dev beer night on I-35 in the fast lane in downtown Austin, and this guy was frozen in the middle and everyone was just driving over him. I caught him and let him go in a green space near the lake

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

If you could make a commercial/movie/video game/etc. with LLM generative AI doing the heavy lifting, people wouldn't have to spend endless energy trying to convince you it's here, they'd just do it, and it would actually be here.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

I’m so glad The Gorge could reuse the bad guys from Disney’s Jungle Cruise.

Are you ever like scrolling through your feed and liking lots of stuff and thinking, “Wow, people on Bluesky are really nailing it today,” and then you realize that you’re just on someone’s profile liking most of their posts and reposts for the last two years?

How did I miss the Jolkein Rolkein Rolkein Tolkein thing?

Maybe if we hid the fact that vaccines are good inside a nearly impossible ARG puzzle, the internet would figure it out

Boy, LinkedIn could really use a mute function.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Okay, one more thing: my talk was accepted to NarraScope 2025. I'll be going to Philly this summer to present at one of my favorite game dev conferences. #NarraScope #gamedev #NarraScope2025

Keep it together. Just a few more days to Spring Break

Mine has a fun little mechanic using the 100 passage contest limit. #gamedev #gamebook #LindenbaumPrize www.lloydofgamebooks.com/2025/03/voti...

The one thing a wannabe dictator could do that I would like would be to get rid of daylight savings time. But here we are.

Last year, Mark Baumann was chosen to write a short story for a Lone Wolf anthology series "The Legend of Vynar Jupe," and he recommended me to the publisher, Holmgard Press, to draw the image for the story. The book is now in print, and you can buy it here: lnkd.in/g8b84_vk

Our Animal Well Documentary is now available! Thanks to Billy Basso (@animalwell.bsky.social) for entrusting me with telling his story, and thanks to @javedlsterritt.bsky.social for editing it into a wonderful video. Really happy to be making documentaries again and there's more to come!

Ugh. Why did a bunch of 28-year olds decide that the needed to be weird take machines for clout on LinkedIn? LinkedIn is the worst…except for the Nazi platforms.

I guess it's time to start playing this again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Na...

Do all creatives who attend a primarily critical theory conference in their subject area just keep thinking “Holy shit! Why does this stuff so rarely get back to us?”

A starterpack with veteran gamedevelopers. No 30 under 30, but rather 150 over 50. #gamedev go.bsky.app/8VqnTau

When I worked at DreamWorks, one of the directors told me “Music is at the top of the pop culture waterfall. It feeds into fashion, graphic design, TV, movies… if you don’t keep your music knowledge up to date, other aspects of your art will start to feel dated too.”

Gave my talk today at SWPACA and until someone tells me otherwise, it went well. #SWPACA #SWPACA2025 #GSCPP

Oh shit dudes. We just found what i would call a very large brown recluse hiding in a high traffic are of the bathroom. And I have, for a couple of days had three very fucked up bites on my chest from something mysterious

I do recommend

Just saw Nightosphere, Gouge Away, and Chat Pile while freezing my ass off and it was still great.

Against my better judgement, I started watching Severance. I like it, but I'm worried. It better not turn out to just be another Lost. Weirdly compelling mysteries are easy to set up when you don't have to tie them all up and have them make sense. This better make some fucking sense in the end.

For the new Fantastic Four Movie, they should make the tagline "Fourth time's the charm!" unless they're worried that this movie is going to suck too.
