Don't think I've ever actually introduced myself on this platform so... I'm Jason. I'm a game designer by day, and in my spare time I write novels, climb mountains, cook, and play/DM tabletop RPGs. #author #pnw #hiking #gamedev

Today is the 30th anniversary of one of the greatest strategy games of all time. Say "Happy Birthday to Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War" below or Anna might raise her prices on you. #fireemblem #Nintendo

Kash Patel’s feelings got hurt, so now he’s suing for $250 million. The Atlantic published a story last week citing more than two dozen sources alleging that the FBI Director has been showing up drunk, missing meetings,

You have to sue the shit out of them so this is no longer profitable. The only language these ghouls speak is money.

"I knowingly signed up to work at Super Mega Murder Villain Inc to make baby killing software, and I'm proud to work here, but maybe we took it a little too far with actual killing babies, ya know?"

Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social

That feeling when you have a great session and your players are still thinking about it the next day? Inject that shit straight into my veins. This is why I play #TTRPG games.

Filled out a survey for the @democrats.org and I needed to be very clear about their request for a donation and why I'm withholding my dollars. I will donate to individual candidates, but the party that refuses to endorse Mamdani doesn't get my money.

#Superman was basically perfect. Hopeful. Joyful. Playful. Clark was perfectly cast. Lois was perfectly cast. Lex was perfectly cast. I don't want to spoil anything here but if this is what James Gunn has planned for DC, then we have an incredible decade of films ahead of us.

it's just too bad we will never solve the impenetrable mystery of who made grok obsessed with south african white genocide theory at 3:15 am

!!!!!!!! xai published a postmortem about what happened with grok yesterday

Never wanted to be one of those angry sports dads that yells and coaches from the stands. Thought I avoided that particular fatherhood trope. But watching my son play Smash Bros online is really testing my resolve.

A good Fortnite season has good mobility and high lethality. Last season had shocks, bats, and the rocket drill and some crazy good guns. Very fun. The new Star Wars season started really slow and I'm hoping the next update adds some mobility back into the game so you can push effectively.

Today is the 35th anniversary of #FireEmblem and tomorrow is the 20th anniversary or Path of Radiance, the FE game that introduced Ike, my favorite protagonist in the series. Every body clap.

So #DaredevilBornAgain is a show about a convicted criminal who masquerades as a businessman being elected, putting sycophants in positions of power, empowering law enforcement to kidnap & murder without due process, intimidating the press, and declaring the people who check his power public enemies

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

This is valid, but some of them aren't stupid so much as they're racist, misogynist, or generally hateful. The last time I invested time in a discussion with one, they eventually admitted they just don't think "certain groups" should be allowed to vote.

I realized today that I've been friends with some of my Smash Bros tournament friends for over twenty years. Sometimes I think making games for a living is kinda frivolous, but seeing how they connect people and create meaningful relationships corrects that. What we do really matters. #gamedev

every time some millennial complains about skibido toilet, i wanna shake em and scream, “bitch! your spoon is too big! somebody set you up the bomb! do you have stairs in your house?”

Saw a man get absolutely destroyed by the D&D subreddit today. He posted to complain all his players bailed on him to play w/another DM. Someone pointed out his post history was full of right wing bigotry & maybe that was his problem. He doubled down in the comments until the mods deleted the thread

I know the early history of D&D was full of gatekeeping grognards, but modern D&D is an inclusive community that generally doesn't tolerate bigotry. If you're an asshole, people aren't going to want to play with you. Time to evolve and join us in the 21st century.

Since this happened in my replies again: Israel is committing genocide, violent occupation, and violent apartheid. Not "the Jews". The Jewish people are to Zionist terrorism what Muslims are to ISIS terrorism: there just happens to be a murdering extremist group among good people. Don't conflate 'm.

It's understandable that many devs are apprehensive about going to #GDC given the current state of America. I just wish y'all could express that without calling SF a shithole and making fun of the homeless. SF has problems because capitalism won, not because poor people exist.

Me earlier this week: BlueSky is so much better than Twitter. I hope it lasts. Me today: - Sees ableist post about bipolar disorder in my feed - Gets two new followers who are both bots - dril gets an "intolerance" strike for a joke about US-Israel relations Uh-oh...

Hey @senatedemocrats.bsky.social no appeasement. Do not pass their funding bills until Trump, Musk, and their cronies are reigned in. Play hardball or else our democracy crumbles.

BREAKING: Senate Democrats left a private meeting saying there aren't enough votes to advance the short-term funding bill that passed the House yesterday

#Tesla stock is going to continue to crater. It's a $15 stock at best. Sell now or lose your shirt when the market actually normalizes against Tesla's actual revenues and not blind hype.
