I don’t think disclosure of the methods of making a game are bad. Fuckin everyone is proud of putting Unreal Engine # Whatever and whatever video encoder, sound software, “optimized for GeForce” logos—it’s the ingredients on the side of the box. Maybe we SHOULD know more about what goes into a game.

But we can’t help people with healthcare. We can’t provide vaccines or meals or education. We can’t provide housing. No one’s getting a raise. But we’re gonna have huge ballroom that’ll just be an eyesore. America’s great again, good job everybody. Go to DC, see the largest empty room in the world.
The ballroom Mr. Trump is planning now is more than four times as large as the 20,000-square-foot one at Mar-a-Lago.

Yesterday, as is our annual tradition, we watched the entire LOTR trilogy in one day. We take a lot of breaks for motion, meals, so it takes a while. Went to bed at almost 1am.
I don’t recall who I saw say it, but they said the LOTR shows that even in the end Frodo fails.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

Once out of debt, I would probably use the extra income as a means to repair and update things around the house until that was done. I would also make the occasional investment in my personal imprint. Maybe a vacation, even.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

There are “gift links” in the replies, but WAPO wants your email for that now, so, ha, no. The first paragraph refers to 10 deaths. Over how many years? Comorbidities? Death is tragic and I do not mean to belittle any parents’ loss, but the greater good that has come from the millions of kids saved?

Second watch of Killers of the Flower Moon as a Thanksgiving “tradition.” It’s an Oklahoma story, where I live, and a vivid reminder our colonialist tendencies are continuously in effect. If there’s something of value someone else has? There is an already wealthy man who will kill to make it his.

Believe people when they show you who they are. Demand this kind of care and respect from your leaders and elected officials. I’m thankful for NYC getting someone hopeful elected, and I hope this kind of public outreach grows amongst our leadership.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Happy US Thanksgiving! We’re going non-traditional again this year, developing our own traditions. Dinner will be tortilla soup! We’re watching Killers of the Flower Moon today, and the Extended LOTR all day tomorrow. Whatever you’re up to, I’m thankful for you as fans, friends, and family!

I don’t draw or paint as much as I used to. There’s years I don’t make a visual piece at all. But it’s like riding a bike when I doodle a little—ratios, vanishing points, depth—it’s all still there.
"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now."
