For the benefit of new followers: Hi, I'm Lying!

Way back when I was mostly known for Minecraft RP series like Witch in the Woods and Yokai Temple.

These days I'm mainly a variety streamer who also makes Minecraft mods like Wheelchairs, Various Oddities, and Tricksy Foxes!

Reading Sigourney Weaver talking about the last time she saw Alan Rickman, who kept his illness private, broke my heart.

The whole "the left & right both hate you so must be doing something right" framing is the dumbest shit in the world and it's a huge tell that I have only ever observed white dudes using it.
“You’re a civil rights attorney who has been canceled by both the right and the left which means you must be doing something right.”

The big takeaways from my predictions issue for game devs are:

- Indies who are gen AI free should fly that flag high, as Steam is going to filled with slop this year.

- If you're a games studio with opinions on AI, unless you have done something people will actually like, just shut up.
We're kicking 2026 into high gear with a newsletter issue on predictions for AI in the games industry this year.

It covers the big issues we expect to see in the next 12 months. Including a prediction of 7000 AI-tagged games on Steam - which is not great.

The ECHR exists to protect us from wannabe despots like Trump and Farage. That’s the reason - and the only reason - why they want to get rid of it.
A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.

Charlie Chaplin once said "More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness. Without these qualities life will be violent."

I think he had a point. When we decouple profit from human good, inventing it without attachment to reality, we engineer misery and suffering.

Also extremely fun that the ICE goons are currently being stymied by the absolute rock bottom, bare minimum tactics of showing up, taking video, making noise, and calling them shitheads.
I love that we have four or five separate examples of ICE thugs directly threatening to murder dissidents by saying precisely the same thing (haven't you learned your lesson?), and it never fails to just make people virulently angry. They just refuse to believe it's not working.

I keep returning to Gibson's formulation of terrorism as innately media-related. Trump, as a media guy and a bully, attention is analogous to outrage, and outrage is reliably provoked with brutality, so the violence can only escalate, and it will pursue the perceived easiest paths first.

The waste fraud and abuse is coming from inside the house.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

one more thing: this is not a "call-out post" or a harassment campaign aimed at those named. it's a statement of fact and warning of behaviour. do not seek them out and harass them. i would prefer you did not seek them out, period
along with this letter and its warnings please consider this additional takeaway: if something feels off, if you feel disrespected or stonewalled or exploited--talk to your peers about it. it's very likely you aren't alone. and thank you for reading.
