I sure hope no amazingly fucked things happen while I'm away from Seattle.

So like. @timespacecos.bsky.social and I are married now. What happens next?

So @raxef.bsky.social got married today.

I am so so so so incredibly grateful to have so many friends who will attack me with hammers

New Jersey transit is a mystery to me

I fucking missed New York

Man what the actual fuck. When will it stop?

When we were at PAX demoing The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham, we got this question A LOT. I always started with the biggest number: "We have amazing partners for PR, localization, QA, our film crew, our actors, and we couldn't make this game without them.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

No one told me the hardest part of fostering a dog is saying goodbye

Awake but at what cost

I'm sure this won't have any repercussions for the future of the development of the engine

🎉 HUGE CAREER ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉 Today, I'm launching Vertical Slice, a new independent trade outlet committed to producing quality video game journalism that inspires, informs, and interrogates. That means daily news, incisive interviews, vital investigative work, and more. www.verticalslice.news

Two weeks until the wedding and I am absolutely calm and collected

I hope you’re okay. And if you aren’t right now, I hope you can trust that you will be. #WorldMentalHealthDay

It's out now! My game is finally done after 10 years! #gamedev

"Hey Rafe, what are you doing to prep for your wedding in two weeks?" "Oh, you know, spending a couple hours in Dorico arranging our first dance music because the original version was too long and no arrangement exists that is just the right length." *tired thumbs up*

I ate too much popcorn tonight...

Tried Toronto oysters for the first time tonight. They were good. But I prefer west coast oysters. That flourless chocolate cake was amazing though.

Feels good to be back in Toronto

I am so fucking disappointed and frustrated by the Jacob Geller news. Most of all, it's so unfair to the victim who apparently hasn't had a say in any of this.

"Tutored" What are we doing here?? This is why we need a vibrant, empowered press. The only thing I can liken this to was Ubisoft requesting a meeting with me to have an E3 convo with a non-forward facing financial exec during the Vivendi hostile takeover attempt.

I think it's pretty neat that one of the legit breakout indie success stories this year is a game about painstakingly designing and sewing opulent ballgowns store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

I played this game two nights ago and haven't stopped talking about it with my friends. It is deeply unsettling, uncomfortable, and impactful, and it does all of this in an hour and a half.

do I know any game composers on here who have written for vocals? I have a few questions 🙏

I love making a game recommendation to someone and they see exactly what I see in it : )

Collections of studios owned and run by Black People. I'm sure there are some I missed, so please let me know (please double-check that they are owned by black people), and I will add them. Don't just follow them; check out their games. This list is about equity and ownership. go.bsky.app/4wfgP11

I will open Godot tomorrow, this I swear

I did the programming for Angel Offline, a Ren'py chatsim by Wish Hour Games! I was challenged to code a custom vertical phone message system. The game is really cute and has a pixel art style~ Check it out! wish-hour.itch.io/angel-offline #VNDev

Another day at the video game factory

shaking my head

WoW Forever, D2 Unvaulted. What's next? Gimme more good gaming news!

Got WoW: Forever running on the steam deck! Great success.

Got a little bit of WoW: Forever time in tonight and I love it so much I almost don't want to keep playing the beta so I can experience it all when it launches.

its really annoying seeing people complain about Debra Wilson being in everything when Troy Baker is the same and its crickets…… black women make up less than 5% of the industry… complaining about us getting work is so silly

Vibrating for so many reasons today.

Tapping the sign Crunch is NOT always driven by management choices and bad planning Sometimes it is a culture, a culture created and reinforced by the people in development

there's a type of Guy who believes crunch is inevitable and it's always the same guy: * leader who started on small, crunch-heavy teams * no experience working anywhere that takes production seriously * doesn't know how to leave room in a schedule, convinced last minute panicking is the only way
