WOOO! Got the package and made it to the train with ten minutes to spare.

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 21h

I'm waiting for an important package to be delivered today before I have to leave for a 2 1/2 hour train ride to see my family for Thanksgiving Dinner.

Send all the good vibes and prayers it arrives before I have to leave for the train!

Okay that’s weird. I could’ve sworn I was following you. Sorry about that. Fixed.

It worked for a while, but then a few years ago they took it out where you couldn't import MKV files at all. And then recently (I'm not sure when), they updated it so you can now work with those files again.

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 1d

FINALLY! Adobe Premiere finally works with MKV files again. No more converting or recording in MP4 files anymore! This just saved me a long time in editing.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! TMNT AND STAR TREK IN THE SAME YEAR?!?! IT'S LIKE NEXT YEAR IS MADE FOR ME!

2026 is the year I become poor chat lol

Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · 1d

The #MTGxTMNT Commander deck celebrates the power of teamwork. The deck will have one face Commander and five cards with the mechanic Partner, allowing you to have a second Commander in play.

This image shows the packaging for a precon commander "Turtle Power!" product. On the box is an illustration of four humanoid turtle ninjas in ready battle stances. The background is an illustrated cityscape at night.

After spending a bit of time not making any content to help with burnout it has helped quite a bit. Plus with TwitchCon coming up next week, I'm really looking forward to becoming inspired by seeing all my wonderful friends who make great content to come back strong. So get ready.

I've had this feeling for a while, but reading this is kinda clearing up my perspective of: just because some high profile people leave a larger studio to make their own studio, doesn't automatically make them great studio heads.

It's a shame what those MindsEye devs had to go through.

Game Developer @gamedeveloper.bsky.social · 1d

'CEOs need to take a backseat:' MindsEye devs accuse studio execs of fumbling layoffs and mandating crunch

Almost 100 current and former Build A Rocket Boy employees have signed an open letter containing allegations of debilitating mismanagement–and some workers are even filing legal claims.

YEP! That too! Exactly that.

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 2d

I absolutely hate this. Please PR folks we get it, it's hard to gain attention in our inboxes. But please, please don't harass us with "we noticed you opened our email" follow ups. Sometimes it's by accident, and it feels like you're stalking us and that makes us uncomfortable.

Brian Gray 🪩🥂💖 @urbanbohemian.com · 2d

I got a follow up pitch yesterday for a game I wasn't interested in that started along the lines of, "Since I saw you opened my previous email..."

Way to make sure I never open another email from you again, is all. I know people put the little tracking pixels in messages, but don't make it weird.

That's amazing!! Congratulations! Well deserved with all the work you and the team put in. I hope to someday be in town to go visit!

Wow! I mean makes sense because ~gestures at everything~ but I would've loved to have played this. This premise would've been great to see this history through the lens of AC.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

GG's, but we'll see how y'all play tonight lol.

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 4d

So cool!! Have fun!!!

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 4d

I think I need to take a break from content this week. I'm burning out (not in terms of being busy, but my mental health) and need some time to recharge before TwitchCon. So forgive me if I stream or post a video for a minute.

Oooh! Which mod was it?

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 5d

haha I hear ya. I tried to get into it. I bought Way of Kings on audiobook (which is 48 hours long) and it's taken me a year to get to 75% of the book done lol. It's a good story, but hard to read for sure lol

Steve Saylor @stevesaylor.net · 5d

Normally I'm totally with you. Especially with the accessibility. I keep trying to get into reading on my Kindle, but failed each time. So I thought maybe format is enough to kick me out of that bad habit. At least that's the idea.

I didn't know Sanderson did a Sci-Fi series. I'll take a look!
