A new batch of Domino Club games dropped this week and I've been too sick/busy with work chaos to post much about it! Maybe that will give you a hint which, if any, of the games I contributed to... or not... 😈 domino.gallery/jams/boneyar...

Give @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social a home! 🏡 My super cool friends in Enschede have finally gotten the keys to a permanent place after an involuntary nomadic life. And of course nothing comes easy in the cultural world. Everything needs to be renovated and there is no money. Help them out by donating!

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

If you hire me AND bruno, you could get two long-time collaborators who will make your material, whatever it is, *alarmingly* unhinged

The second talk led into a long workshop and went well! People engaged, shared a lot of ideas, and laughed at all my bad jokes 😌

The first talk went well, but in the future I have to remember to soften my language more and not give in to my anxiety's desire to proclaim. I was able to curb it in the moment a bit, I think.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

@lataco.bsky.social first began as a blog documenting local Mexican cuisine. Now, it’s an essential reporting powerhouse to the city as Trump’s mass deportation plot unfolds.
