a halloween costume that's mostly posterboard with OP's face cut through the center. it's a Jira ticket titled "Game Breaking Bug on a Friday before Cert", with a self deprecating and rude message about breaking the build.

It’s Halloween weekend and that means it’s time for everyone’s favorite Japanese festival Jimi Halloween, where people dress up in costumes so mundane they have to be explained. Let’s dive in 🧵

Your run of the mill enemies to lovers story where the villain is obsessed with the heroine except this is the second iteration of the story; they were lovers before but she died in his arms so he went back in time and chose evil because maybe if she hates him, she’ll live.

Most of my plugins from iZotope are being discontinued. Doesn't affect me so much as a perpetual license holder but maybe sucks if you were doing sub and liked something. Which is also why perpetual license > sub in most cases

Also me & my partner 🤭💕

I want y'all to know that this is literally how I met my wife

I showed my parents the PC gamer article with my anime sniper sounds and they said they love it and are very proud of me, even though deep inside I know they have no idea what anime or sniper even is, they are so cute and supportive 🥹

Full disclosure, the most that I have ever made from ONE gig, just one, Indie or otherwise, is $600. For a full game. And that went to my rent, and nothing else. No food, no other bills, just my rent. If you think $4000 is a lot for a game, a AAA game, you're dead wrong. A

Not the Black Mirror-ification of Doctor Who. This is what happened when Netflix purchased Black Mirror from Channel 4 and apart from a few episodes, the Channel 4 production (Seasons 1 + 2) feels more solid than the Netflix production (Seasons 3+).

Trying to think of something to post for Ace week and I'm still at a loss. Here's my simple fact, though: I'm valid. That other ace you know? They're valid too. We spend years being told we'll become like what society dictates every organism on the planet should be like (cont)

literally same. I'm disabled, in Kansas, all my opportunities came from twitter. Not a single one has come from anywhere else. All of them. Twitter. For those of you who live in big game dev hubs, glad that it's easy for you to leave. But uh, what about everybody else?

I couldn’t have broken into game dev or comics or anything without Twitter. I lived in Wisconsin and all my connections came from Twitter. I’m probs going to stay until I can’t. I don’t live in a “gamedev city.” I’m a marginalized freelancer and my reach is limited.

Also, the sentence "the employee's Squishmallow count has [now] increased to 43" absolutely sends me for some reason 🤣🤣🤣

My partner really loves Squishmallows though so 👀

People are still reacting to Cartoon Brew's misreporting of Disney's CEO so here's what was actually said; please do not let them spread misinformation & get the internet's panties in a twist...yet again.

Quote Tweet

The CEO did not even say "[an animated movie]" in the clip; he was specifically talking about all-ages Disney animated films, citing Dumbo & The Little Mermaid, & said parents may not want to watch another Disney movie right after watching one with the kids. That's literally it.

Nothing is sacred around here & even something you think is your best work may need to be re-recorded, reshot, re-edited, redone. So if you want to enter this industry, know that this is practically a requirement.
