Or you could say something heartfelt, and they will make room for that too, and aren't afraid of sharing something vulnerable in their stead. And that was my life for the longest time, spent with people like that, making really great games with them.

When it's at its best, there are moments infused with a crazy, happy energy that's hard to put into words. You feel safe and inspired to try and make them laugh, knowing they will welcome the dumb joke and will riff on it and make it so much funnier than you ever thought it could be, and you can't wait to do that back and forth volley with them again.

I was just at a DF party tonight and saw a bunch of my pals there old and new, and.. what an amazing, talented group of rare people. It brought back all these memories of how much we all genuinely loved being around each other.

This heat wave is poorly timed with all these jerks pretesting their fireworks into the night. Can't even open a dang window for my overheated kids.

Only-child here, raising siblings and watching them end up fighting constantly. I just wanna scream, "you idiots, you don't understand how precious this is to have each other! You can compare notes and talk shit about your crazy parents when you need to!" Meanwhile my life partner, eldest of 3, is cutting perfectly even slices on a pastry and is like, "I can tell you're not a sibling by how you were about to cut this cake, Anna" 🥶

Christ, I just read some deeply vile shit that Steve Albini wrote. I wish I could unsee all of it. Traumatizing, vomit-inducing garbage that has his name on it (I won't link to it). I know he apologized for some stuff in '21 but this is beyond apology imo. Just completely irredeemable as a person to me now.

I saw a cybertruck the other day, and it looks like a car cosplaying as a truck. Dressed in a homemade costume out of cardboard. Kind of absurd and a adorable at the same time.

Well crap, it looks like COVID might have permanently ruined citrus for me. I've been throwing out grapefruits thinking they had gone bad, but I just realized all citrus smells like garbage to me now. Anyone else get this side effect? https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/parosmia-covid

Still waiting for my Playdate that was ordered as a present a month in advance for my last birthday (12/19).

I guess I should go track down some blog post somewhere about what shortages or labor-intensive intricacies there are for this much of a delay, so I can build my empathy back up. The person who got it for me regrets it, and I try to comfort them about the delay.

I really want this lil console to succeed, want to make games for it, but it feels a bit too esoteric at this point.

I'm seeing all these a-words posting about Unity "fucking around and finding out" now that their employees (who had nothing to do with the decision) are getting death threats. The new fee policy is shit, and death threats are not something to cheer.

Really curious about this, why is there so much stigma around scheduled C-sections?

They're safer for the baby and not all that bad for the parent these days. More predictable, less traumatic, potentially.

So many friends have had them after many hours of struggle, that.. why not just plan it and then have an easier recovery?

Is it mainly around pride and giving birth "the way nature intended"? A distaste for overwrought medical intervention?

It's incredible how much warmer the new Double Fine doc reception is compared to the last one.

I used to do cursory searches to see social media reax after an episode release, and it was largely negative, often toxic. I can't make sense of the change. We'd get tons of toxic comments etc after any communication. Even on the bird site, I'm not seeing anything vile about DF. The old internet would have torn us to shreds. Was it just the times?

Double Fine just released this incredible documentary from 2 Player Productions about the making of Psychonauts 2 (also Psychonauts the orginal and Rhombus of Ruin). It's maybe the most open, honest, and frankly, brutal documentary about the making of games out there.

It starts where the Double Fine Adventure docu leaves off. Lots of personal life stuff happens to me in it and it's been very bittersweet for me to watch. :')
