Can you even call yourself a Hollywood actor if you were never in Star Wars?

Lioness, Zero Day, Homeland, House of Cards, West Wing just feels like rom-com for tech/political thrillers now. We can look at them and feel what the world should be like.

We’re only weeks in and the ’what da fuk did Trump do today?!’ - stress is already real.

Some ppl liked my post!
…oh it was porn bots mostly.
Porn bots: the engagement therapists of social media. They are always there to listen. They always like. Even when no one else does.

Just as removing all UI don’t automatically bring ’immersion’ to a game. Having the player running in circles looking for the exit doesn’t count as ’exploration’.

Another step towards self driving internet. Bots befriending bots and accepting all cookies. We’re not needed.
Meta confirms they plan to add tons of AI-generated users to Facebook and Instagram

They will have bios, profile pics and can share content

Seriously. Why are these my wallpaper suggestions in the iOS photo app?!!? It continues off screen. What narcissist designed this? Why would I put a giant selfie as wallpaper ever? Do ppl do this? And if yes, what’s wrong with everyone? 🤣

AirPod case must be one of the worst designed cases for anything.

-Slippery and rounded. Prone to being dropped or fall out of pockets.
-Glossy and easily scratched surface, yet slides around like a bar of soap on everything.
-When dropped always opens to fling the pods out in random directions.

English sister studio is having a ”Christmas Extravaganza” and I just thought that was the most British thing I ever heard.

Watching Lioness. And it strikes me that all screen writers come to the same conclusion:
Anyone running clandestine operations for the CIA has to be either a sociopath, psychopath or both. Or the character will just not make sense.

This may just be nostalgia talking, but one of the biggest problems with modern D&D is that playing it no longer makes people think you are a satanist.

Amazing how many never makes it past 1.
I have started to collate things I learned over the years and putting them into one-page tips.

These are things that worked for me, maybe you will find some use for them, or be inspired to find a better way that works for you.

Felt a sudden urge to pick a fight with all Italians. So I’m eating reheated shrimp pasta with no shrimp left in it from day before yesterday, and telling about it.

”Al Assad likely dead in airplane crash.” My mind: Dictator fakes own death.

I’m starting a support group for game devs who don’t really care about either WoW or DnD. I refuse to be alone in this.

Will ppl understand that @ here in slack is super rude. It’s equivalent of walking up to somebody and stapling a post-it on their chest.
And doing that to 100ppl.

Introduce yourself with the worst feedback given to you in school:

“You should consider getting an education in something else before you try that”

On me wanting to be a film maker. Never did. I did become a film maker before I became a game maker tho.
Presentera dig själv med den sämsta feedback du fick under skoltiden:

"Du skulle kunna bli författare."

Jag är 44 och jag skriver fortfarande två kapitel, tycker att det är mer än lovlig skit och raderar. Fan Eva!
Presentera dig själv med den sämsta feedback du fick under skoltiden:

Du kommer ALDRIG att lära dig att räkna överhuvudtaget. Min lärarinna i åk 3 efter en provräkning inför hela klassen som jag misslyckats med.

Fick VG i C kurs flera år senare. Jo du sabla kärring! 💅
