If anyone has emailed saying my company, Discoglobe, is hiring for a freelance position, THIS IS A SCAM. I think they are using LinkedIn connections to find names to manufacture a veneer of legitimacy.

Free yourself from the hardcore gamer in your mind, and design for the player you want to hang out with.

That is my old intersection, right where I used to live, and I'm nerdily jealous now.

I just got my own grandmother's gold-encrusted china, from Nova Scotia, so this is very top of mind for me.

Wikipedia says Morg is a herald of Galactus. Still not sure what he means, but it sounds worrying.

Yeah I find that's a real barrier, and I've yet to figure out how to get around it. See also: "oh, so you're a gamer."

Ooh, plot twist

I’m on team sand with this one

I don’t think I’ve played anything I thought was bad. Games are either extremely for me, not for me but playable for a time, or extremely for someone else and I can’t picture who, but I know they’re out there.

Imagine, you are buzzing after the last sip of your third Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc. You just met a lovely retiree whose daughter-in-law is going to phone you about the condo in Hallandale. You walk up to my tent, I smile at you. I have Golgotha loaded up in Classic.

Cold email from marketer:
"Good morning Jason, are you or Brian Bucklew the right person to speak with about influencer partnerships?

We recently signed on as the exclusive influencer partner for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, activating creators across 35 of their events."

I only did it once, and learned with my whole body that for me, extrinsic motivation destroys intrinsic motivation.

Jill Murray @jillmurray.bsky.social · 1d

Then we can blame the recipe 😆

I think the average screenplay has roughly half as many words as the nanowrimo 50K

I think that actual NaNoWriMo shut down after a series of "controversies" (acting like a jerk on many fronts), and has been replaced by something new from a new org.

Amazing. I've definitely made a lot of "what is this?" meals over the years, because I tend to just pull things out of the back of the cupboards and yolo them.

It is so thoughtless and selfish and weird. Imagine someone wrote this and someone else edited it before it was made public .
