This feels like a perfect metaphor for the last dozen years of tech fantasy investment.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

The Holiday is a cute movie but it also gave us Airbnb so mixed bag.

Just wild timing for it too. The week of the year where the most people have extra free time to sit down and watch an episode of 60 Minutes just out of curiosity to see what the government is trying to hide.
Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

Treating myself to some closed toe sandals for the holidays because I busted my toe open on the stairs the other day and am now going full-on Burgermeister Meisterburger on open-toe shoes.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Something really special about working in games is as you contribute your small part to it, you get to watch others do the same. From looking at the art concepts, reading the story, watching game design shape the experience, listening to the music, watching the production happen.. it's just lovely ❤️

I’m gonna be honest I don’t even know how to use AI. I just know all my apps have a little star button now where if I touched it I would get a bunch of wrong answers, owe a subscription fee, and maybe burn out my CPU?

I have more friends than I have either the budget or the time to realistically get gifts for, so instead I gradually gather every interesting book I can find on clearance racks and in thrift shops, a wide assortment. Then have a holiday book fair where my friends can each take a book home.

This is awkward, but as of yesterday I'm no longer employed with Nightdive Studios. I'm currently looking for full-time work and would be happy to share more info via DMs. I'm also open to freelance work!

Incoming hot take: start putting numbers in sequel titles again. Have your cool-sounding subtitle if you want but I can't remember if "Confrontation" is the first game or the fifth.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I’m beginning to think Sisyphus was just a parable to help ancient storytellers cope with the realities of keeping a house clean.
