Catching up on Placebo’s post-Y2K output

Thinking about a 3rd act career change and personal reinvention as one of those private security goons in the white snowsuits that get to ski and ride snowmobiles and shoot M11s

I want to thank all my mutuals with more followers than me for attracting extremely unstable reply guys that I can preemptively block and forget about

The implosion of the games industry will manifest as a series of layoffs viewed through your social feed with posts that get closer and closer to your workplace until you‘re the one posting it.

I’m the baby, gotta love me

Strangely compelling. I finished it twice. Recommend!

I find it unbelievable that there are grown adults who pay for Discord Nitro

Lots of talk about grand viziers, but not a lot of respect for the humble majordomo

They should let me reboot video games. I can be trusted with this beloved IP.

It’s so cool that all this cool stuff keeps happening in this super cool industry

Having kids is great. It reminds you of a time in your life when you were sure 100% of your problems could be solved by owning a jetpack

Oof. This one hits hard. A must read

Told a friend recently we’re mere months away from a “why I left the left” thinkpiece because some DSA dork got yelled at for loving ChatGPT, but I think that timeline may have been too conservative
