I did a keynote thing!
Back in November, the folks at @adventurex.bsky.social kindly invited me to speak to a rowdy and welcoming crowd of game devs, which I did, and now there's video proof! The topic:
IMPOSTOR SYNDROME
Thanks again. It was a blast. Can't wait to see y'all again in November :-)

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see his show. That should pick you up.' Man asks, 'But doctor… what is the name of Pagliacci's show?' Doctor replies, 'The Aristocrats!'

I heard there is a funny clown
Who with the circus came to town
What sadness that you have I’m sure he’d cure ya
It goes like this,
You’ll go
You’ll see
But doctor, you’re describing me!
The clown that you prescribe, is Pagliacci!

Of all the discontinued products I thought I’d be lamenting, the only decent vegan chicken broth I could find (when cooking for friends) was not on my bingo card.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

What do they call it? That thing where you feel overwhelmed all day and then night comes and you desperately need sleep but with everything shut down you feel like your life belongs to you for the first time all day so you stay up way too late because you dread relinquishing that control?

Man, late to the party, but pressure cooker rotisserie chicken stock has become a game-changer for me. Rather than roasting bones and having a full-evening project, I add just 5-10 active minutes to dinner prep, make my recipe with fresh stock, and freeze the rest for later.
