Watching Epic's Tim Sweeney epically crash out has been interesting because I'll see a sentence like this—"the one thing I remember most about EGS is how forgettable it is"—and be momentarily shocked while I work out that "EGS" is not in fact referring to El Goonish Shive here

He never had cause to be embarrassed at his body before, in fact, he realized that he scarcely cared how it had been perceived at all.... But now, suddenly in a body that he was not convinced was his own, he was mortified at the mere thought of another person catching a glimpse of his bare skin.

One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that he had been changed into a girl.

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only. Turns out ordering enough estrogen gets you a pretty sweet bulk discount, and that deal was too good to pass up

Gosh, I'm not sure. I'm tempted to say Dragon Quest, since that's the first game I stuck with and beat, but my love of games is a little older than that. I'd say it's a mix between Rogue (specifically the Epyx release), Zork, Ultimate Wizard, and Archon.

Me: Okay brain. I know things have been rough lately, but we need to find a job, so if we could just work together today... My brain: ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A MOM HER NAME WAS MRS. PTERANADON

Games I want to make: A puzzle game/virtual world where exploration is driven by solitaire A vast RPG set in an AI post-apocalypse A sprawling idle incremental about life as a catgirl What I have the energy to work on: A guy has to dodge raindrops for two minutes

A man personally delivers the result of a standardized test to several individuals.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.

Flight attendant: Is there a code doctor on board? Me: What, a software engineer? Sure, but... FA: The passenger in 17C crashed production ten minutes after take off and they've already burned their entire annual token budget trying to fix it. Me, sighing: Hoo boy, I'm on my way

Hey there! I only feel like I have value if I'm creating things and refuse to engage on a personal level on this platform so check out this pixel art I made.

why did you transition, right answers only I read an article by a trans woman and there were enough similarities to my own life that I asked "if she transitioned what does that say about me"

why did you transition, right answers only i knew she was in there and keeping her hidden away from the world was too painful to bear

I have Thoughts™ about game design, but they're not refined enough to put into a blog, and putting them into a game is too slow. I don't want to throw them to the Discourse Wolves... Maybe I'll put them out on Mastodon?

There are two Discourse Wolves inside you. One says the gameplay is unrefined and the game lacks depth. The other says the graphics are bad and the game has no mainstream appeal. Both of them hate your game and tell you to delete your account

What have I been up to recently? Besides survibing, you mean? Well I just got the core customizations of my little RPG Maker game working, so that's pretty exciting #IndieDev

Abi Thorn's Amnesty win came up in a Discord yesterday, leading someone to watch her conversion practices video for the first time and then comment "thats weird, I seem to have broken my mouse in a rage." Anyway I edited a comic about it; enjoy

Okay so I can't get the idea of FF6 protagonists hosting public access TV shows out of my head. We've already got Cyan's meditation show, Relm's "Joy of Painting"-style show, and Setzer is basically Anthony Bourdain

Bonus shows for short lived party members! Leo's show is historical reenactments. The ghost hosts an amazing ghost hunters-type show on the Phantom Train. Banon runs a call-in talk show, of course. Biggs and Wedge are a manzai comedy duo
