Since we're all talking about AI Voice acting right now, it's probably a good time to say I've been a free agent since last year! Indie Devs: Let me know your VA budget and let's work something out. The big dogs can't afford me, but I promise you can. realamandalive.com/voice-demos

After 1.5 years of pouring my heart into my very first game, I'm so excited to finally announce that... Drawquarium is coming to Steam on November 13! 🥹 Draw your own fish, bring them to life, and create your little underwater world, even as a live wallpaper! Like+RT = ♥️ #IndieGames #Cozygames

The thrift store find of my dreams.

Showing creative projects to my friends, family, and concerned well-wishers.

I found out Puzzmo uses generative AI and I'm seriously so bummed out. Hanging up my Puzzmonaut helmet for now, hopefully they reconsider.

Every time my Maxim of "Anyone who's being rude and continues to be rude when told that isn't worth talking to." Ends up being true, I reblog this post.

I would love for my tax dollars to go toward saving arts/media that have been victims of private equity. I know the IPs probably wouldn't come with them, but I care more about saving the people than the franchises.

I keep having dreams about the Lamborghini Silhouette. What does it mean?

Definitely looking for a few paid gigs this winter!

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I was able to sit down for hours with the minds behind Civ, including Sid Meier, to make this video — and I only kind of teared up several times youtu.be/SdfxTXCw15s

I'm doing my annual PC reset and I'm wondering if it's a good time to swap my PC to Linux Mint. Any compelling reasons why I shouldn't?

I'll give you 50 cents for a buck.

I love taking the train rather than flying because I get an hour and a half in NYC to get off the train and buy dumb crap.

Tis the season

Imagine being so pitiful that your knee-jerk reaction to a statement like "keep making personal, beautiful games" is "up yours"?

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

Poseidon smiles upon us this night.

I lasted three days... it's not my fault, I was minorly inconvenienced by bureacracy and needed a little treat.

Construction trucks leaving Bloor and Islington area after being successfully deterred from starting work on removing bike lanes in Toronto by a large protest.

🥺

I made another cauldron of dinner potion this evening and therefore must again lie down for a little bit.

You gotta know when to log off...

I want Transport Fever 3, but I'm trying to be responsible with money.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Community Manager: Yes, the developers of a game that I was working on added a feature the players didn't like and I needed to enter a witness protection program.

I love when my bf plays some kind of RTS game because then I get to play scheming vizier. "they don't understand your vision, m'lord! they do not have the mind of a general like you!"

Sarniezz Saturday Night

Mary Walsh is in it!!!

Jared Kushner Teaches Typing ass bullshit

Introducing Tinned Fish Date Night: - each person picks 3 different tinned fish and a kind of chip/cracker - get a creamy, soft, mild cheese like, burrata - maybe some pickled red onion, capers, and microgreens??? - MAYBE A LITTLE FIG!?!??!?!

You can't search for anything on the internet anymore, so shouting into the void instead: I need a Warhammer 40k Tarot deck so bad. Not an in-universe Emperor Deck, but an actual tarot with bitchin' high fantasy art of the emperor, the primarchs, the warp, the chaos gods, the golden throne, etc.

Nobody can say I haven't done ANYTHING today. I certainly did... something.

In the immortal words of Gord Downie: "no one's interested in something you didn't do".

I made a giant cauldron of dinner potion and it was delicious. I need to lie down for a bit.

If I ever find out we're stuck in a time loop, I will be so mad.

I think it should be illegal for me, a cutie pie, to get migraines on a weekend.

Getting dressed is for the birds. Be unclothed 99% of your life.

optimist: the glass is half full pessimist: the glass is half empty community manager: there's a new weak signal, but it's gaining traction on Reddit and Tiktok... did you guys put a half-glass of water in the last patch? It's, uhhh... it's not in the notes you gave me and people are pissed!

"Being good on the inside counts for absolutely fuck all." This world is about the things you do, not think. Intentions alone don't achieve anything.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the new "streamer shout" thing they rolled out on Twitch? Also the constant nagging about "losing your streak!" nagging notes in the For You sidebar on Twitch?

I grew up around a grumpy old cowboy JUST like this fella. Please enjoy the ray of sunshine that is Pat Puckett.

Mike Tomlin being a Minecraft sicko was not something I expected but does in fact make perfect sense
