still sobbing every time i hear Golden for the first time in a while.

...and then again when its theme shows up again in What It Sounds Like.

Why yes thank you, I WILL purchase this game immediately

Mike Rose @mikerose.bsky.social · 3d

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

I am positively SALIVATING I want to play Silent Hill F so bad... despite the fact I had to put down Gone Home because it was "too spooky"

... And, predictably, well over half of them are horror. Just what I need heading into The Long Dark 😅 I am very smart and good at choices 😬🙃

It's always a lovely surprise to suddenly realize I have 10+ credits piled up in my audiobook app (Libro.fm -- make the switch!)

Love to start a brisk fall morning browsing stories and picking the ones I'll let into my life 💜 (and having so many credits at once means I'm less shy to take a risk)

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

I was recently lucky enough to work on this fantastic project: a Mahjong-inspired card game featuring photography from all 63 US National Parks. The B-roll was a treat to work with!

Check the game out below, and share if you can to support indie devs: www.kickstarter.com/projects/poc...

So (safely) close to this wildfire right now. It's staggering to consider its scale

A panoramic view of a lake with smoke billowing out of the mountains to the right. The smoke is so tremendous it easily eclipses the mountains

A panoramic view of a lake with a wall of smoke so thick it is opaque less than a mile away.

Ah good news, my book is out! I wrote the last chapter of this intro to tech ethics book for the BCS. You can order it from their website or other bookshops! It’s quite reasonably priced so a good intro to the topic. My chapter gets spicy, I was surprised they liked it!

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 26d

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 26d

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.
