Dayum. Having Steam installed is normally the hurdle I would set for the "indie game audience"—now I am curious as to what games those smaller libraries contain 🤔

That crisis management was, as so many things in my job, a group project—with all the benefits and flaws that come with that.

I'm particularly proud of all the volunteer mods that stepped up their already A-game to support us through it. They're the best 💚

Can't stop laughing about how well this mis-quote fits 😂

Found more old picture frames at the thrift and filled them with art scraps saved from various #MtG purchases to extend our gallery wall.

...got to me in my highschool years and never really left; whenever a gap in my schedule opened up, it was honestly dedicated to just sleeping/crashing out in order to recharge energy and braincells fast enough to continue onwards.

Enough of that, seriously. To a more healthy lifestyle 🥤

This national holiday, I decided to not "be productive" or "try to catch up on todos" 🙅

Instead, I dedicate my day off entirely to sorting my #MagicTheGathering collection and building new Commander decks. Both meditative and creative, yet following no goal other than having fun.

Hustle culture...

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

But a still graver scandal of AI— like its hydra-head sibling, cryptocurrency-is the technology's colossal wastefulness. The untold billions firehosed by investors into its development; the water-guzzling data centers draining the parched exurbs of Phoenix and Dallas; the yeti-size carbon footprint of the sector as a whole—and for what? A cankerous glut of racist memes and cardboard essays.
Not only is the ratio of Al's resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, Al-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.

The way I see it, games are group projects and time capsules. Otherwise I wouldn't "risk" getting any tattooed—I think our generation learned the lesson to be careful the hard way with HP.

This news just doesn't bode well for future games in the series or people working there, hence my mood.

If the "no politics in games" crowd could get a teeny bit vocal about the state of Saudi Arabia co-owning EA, cheers.

As someone with a #TheSims tattoo, and set-in-stone plans to add one or more #DragonAge symbols to my sleeve, I am not happy today.
