Don’t precisely know where your words are in Spider-Man but I really loved Miles Morales. (Oh and your ROTJ short story was super fun too).

Hey gamedevs! GDC has opened up their call for submissions for core concepts (summits are later). I'm on the advisory board for design so really want to encourage people to submit. Give us some cool talk proposals!

(Adding to Ian’s point) newspaper puzzle games also appeal to a different audience and tap into designer skillsets Steam doesn’t always reward.

Thousands in the streets of Paris celebrating and cheering “no pasaran” or "They will not pass” as the far right falls out n France’s election. Just absolutely amazing scenes tonight across France as they fight the fascists back. Now it’s our time to be brave and come together to for a united front.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Everyone who thinks they know the angle or speech that would work (including me!!!) needs to ask if they are thinking of a useful political strategy or just what would make for a good movie.

I think Leslye Headland gets it. The complaint "Star Wars directors have been too big fans of Star Wars" is valid but The Acolyte's creative team seems to be striking a solid balance. Still a flawed show but I'm leaning towards it being "good, with great moments" if it makes even a modest landing.

Musing that moves like this may reeeeally show the limited range of AI art/fiction. In theory the fans of a finished series with no inherent skill would want easy extensions of it right? Turns out, very wrong…

@jbouie.bsky.social a lot going on right now but I tuned into Unclear and Present Danger for the first time and the First Contact episode was so good. Helped me grok “Hegelian dialectical” a little more than I did before.

Trying to lean very hard on “I am a silly games writer who does not know what to do or what will happen” to keep the anxiety down but also I have been obsessed with politics since my dad smiled at me and implied being a liberal was foolish because this is an “inherently conservative country.”

I’m slowly becoming Kamala-pilled (but that transition has to be *tightly* managed if it happens). I will crawl through broken glass to vote against Trump at every opportunity. One way or another it’s time for the comeback story of the century.

I don't actually think the DNC is all that responsible for Clinton or Biden being the nominee. Primary voters genuinely thought they were the strongest candidate to beat Trump!

Trump’s spent his entire life chasing total immunity—sometimes out of fear but mostly entitlement. Yesterday’s ruling validates his most basic instinct: he is entitled to whatever he wants.

Americans across the political spectrum are all deeply mired in “apocalypse realism”, in which it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the world not ending. This widespread imaginary just happens to motivate the people who want the world to end while depressing everyone else.
