Well I was officially working on an adaptation of a book I really like, set in and around my home town, blessed by the author, into a medium I love for about 12 hours. Legally we're no longer working on that game. Maybe I'll get to announce it again soon! Probably not!

Embarassing for UA system, and Alaska as a tate. Again, an institution with any spine should be telling these fuckers some form of "Make me" or "come back with a warrant."

FUCK YEA STACEY RIDES AGAIN MOTHERFUCKERS. Montreal Victoire still on top babybeeee! #hockey #pwhl

Poulin. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Holy crap. When the Native groups are scrubbing the word Native from their websites, we are in fricking deep trouble. Also **** the UA BOR. That was a cowardly move and they should be ashamed.

The University of Alaska's Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program has (seemingly) scrubbed most instances of "Alaska Native" on its website. This coincides with the UA Board of Regents voting to get rid of DEI-related language. (Left image is Wayback machine from Jan. 15)

Wyatt, why are you buying the two commercially available films written and directed by Scott Walker? Don't worry about it I'm a normal healthy person.

I'll never understand why Multi-Format is almost always cheaper than a single Bluray? like it's usually BR + DVD but it's usually like 40-50% cheaper than just a DVD?? Two copies for even less??

I used to be a big reddit person, but I stopped regularly using it in like 2019 and now every time I go back to find some specific information or knowledge, it seems meaner and meaner.

When kids and the responsibility-free ask how a piece of media "can cost that much to make" they without a doubt are not considering people being paid salaries for the duration

lol I didn't think about it when I took the picture, but you can totally snoop on all the movies I've seen in theaters the last few years. Half of them are behind the monitor, but still like half visible.

gotta make new halo 1 level thumbnails for the buntana mod so i might as well have fun with em lmao heres pillar of autumn (1/10)

#akleg Great book. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Alaska policy. I've got one copy left at the gallery. I've also got one copy with a lightly gunched up corner I'm happy to donate to the first legislator, staffer, or journalist in Juneau who wants it. I'll even walk it up the hill.

Godspeed and good luck to all the Indies fist fighting for their demos to be seen today. I hope y'all get the exposure you need in these coming days.

you need to play at least one game that youtuber consensus fucking hates and form your own opinion. Your taste in games will improve significantly if you do this simple action

adding onto this and going on a slight tangent by saying that you should play "bad" games. it doesn't matter if you "know it's bad", i think the experience of actually interacting with a fundamentally bad thing is creative exercise and will honestly teach you more about game design than a good game

I will be participating in this as well. It's a small thing, but I am one of those who is not happy with how things are going in our country and I will make that known, even if the gesture is small. I'll be spending my day working and playing D&D and Monster Hunter! Stay strong, everyone!

based on the power suit cuz i think the shoulders fit better

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

STOP CUTS TO MEDICAID! Congress: Don't play politics with our health care! Stand Up for Seniors & Kids! Protect prenatal care for expectant moms; Protect grandparents in nursing homes; Protect essential care for kids with disabilities; Protect more than 72 million Americans: STOP CUTS TO MEDICAID!

Any credits I have in 2025 are almost certainly going to be testing or "special thanks" which is weird because I haven't released a game since technically 2023. I guess Soul King: Out of the Box DLC kinda counts? but idk that was like Spring 2024. Am I losing my edge?!

Hah, rad. The US is reverting gender markers on passport renewals. Mine had F. I did all the paperwork for that over a decade ago. Renewed passport I just got? Says M. So yeah fuck you United States, I guess? But whatev I can still use it to leave the country, and my license has the right marker.

I feel like any major institution with any real power changing guidelines/programs to allign with Trump Admin's wild swerving is just revealing they've been waiting for their chance to do so. Any insitution with real power should be in their "Come back with a warrant" phase right now.

For more than 20 years I been proud to call myself a University of Alaska alumnus. No more. I ashamed and embarrassed by this cowardly dictum. Note the opening sentence violates section 2. #UAF #Alaska

Hockey and Gamedev this morning. #pwhl #victoire

I think Chernobylite is my Fallout: New Vegas. Like that game that, despite its flaws and issues it just connects with me on a gut level. Like it just *DOES* it for me in a way Stalker Call of Pripyat or Fallout 3 or Mario 64 DS did when I was a teen.

your girl is quoted in here briefly and anonymously. it was lovely to be able to yap to a *real* journalist about the struggles lgbtq gamedevs are facing right now.

Some of those that work forces are the same who burn crosses www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Being an adult is lame. I used to get cool new computers or like games or other goodies with my tax returns. Now it all goes to paying off debt or savings 😮‍💨😮‍💨

for the price of a single AAA game in 2025 you could support a pro-consumer, independent games outlet for an entire year - i used to run public media marketing and i can tell you every single dollar we got made a huge difference

We're working on a cool project to adapt a book from Bethel into a game and I'm pretty excited about it but I wanted to do a cheeky little picture so I can share on other platforms as well. Unfortunately despite buying like 4 copies of the book for various team members, I don't own one myself -_-
