i only have two divorced friends thus far at 28, but i'm close with three people who were left at the altar or otherwise broken up with the week of the wedding?? somehow i'd been convinced that was something that happened more often in movies

what they don’t warn you about getting in your 30s is the amount of divorced friends you have goes up exponentially

UFO 50 has so many weird little secrets in it... it's been almost 2 years and we're still discovering more!

but that's just a bad dream, now. i'm shaking off the sleep going "hnuh whuh i sleep in a big bed with my hot partner. and our cat"

every once in a while i remember "i dated a straight guy several years older than me, who i thought was lazy and unattractive, while i was in high school, specifically because i thought i wouldn't ever find anyone i loved who would love me back and that was the best a wretch like me could get"

the state of being a girl feels less like something that anyone can make me return to and more like a weird dream it took me a long time to wake up from. sort of like if you transformed a tree into a human and it could *vaguely* remember what it was like before it was a person, but not entirely

the past six years since covid have involved a lot of growing out of concepts that no longer fit me. the people-pleasing feels puerile, the urge to be palatable and attractive to men i don't like feels like having one foot in the grave, the dregs of anorexia remain but are also a thing of the past

i am "deciding" to transition, but that's more in the sense of taking the false skin off and folding it and putting it neatly aside instead of bursting out of it in a way that gets viscera on everyone in the splash radius. it'd happen either way, one just involves a lot more yelling

fourth internet outage at work in a day. come on, now.

Layoffs hit Double Fine today, and I'm sorry to report that I was one of the ones hit. If you need a game designer with tech chops and 2+ decades of experience, here I am.

my extremely petty gripe with AI is that I am paranoid about using em dashes — one of my favorite punctuations — now that I know how commonly AI uses them in writing, and I can’t use the verb “grok” anymore which was a really fun and useful word before it got absolutely ruined

NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

I was not asked to be put on a magic card, I demand royalties.

my mom worked at a bar when i was a little kid, so i was often trying to learn billiards because it was the only real thing for an eleven year old to do in there besides screw around with the jukebox. ... i never got all that good. i'd like to try it again sometime soon.

darts is pretty fun, though. i am straight up okay at darts

my parents made me hold my birthday party at a local bowling alley for maybe seven years straight because it was the cheapest venue around and i didn't have the heart to tell them i hated bowling and would rather have just hosted the party at our house and held a smash tournament for zero dollars

tough to pick, but here's one i know by heart: "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream." - opening line of The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

funny when someone with a staff comes in and argues that it ought to count because there' no way to disprove it without looking like a pedantic whiner
