I help make a video game (Senior Game Designer II, WoW). Views expressed are not those of my employer. Cats, books, games, anime, MN sports, sumo, and other assorted nonsense.

Happy Thanksgiving from our herd to yours!

The goat's Thanksgiving feast included these veterinarian-approved foods: mashed turnip, a side of baby food, pears, blueberries, long-shaved carrots, mocktails (muddled beet juice), willow, maple, and evergreen.

I'm thankful for all of my friends and coworkers who've been so kind this year. I'm thankful to have a job which is still creatively fulfilling after nearly two decades. I'm thankful for Galen and Clara who brighten my days in the flesh, and every other pet (both IRL and internet) I get to pat. ❤️🦃

Hi, I’m Matthew Seiji Burns. You may know me from such tweets as “They call him Big Hat Logan because he wears a big hat” or “Sam. It’s me, Die-Hardman. Wanted to let you know there's banana bread in the kitchen.” Check out my debut novel, about a guy who has a bad time.
Process takes readers on an intense psychological journey into the dark heart of Seattle’s tech startup world. The main character is a young man driven by an almost animalistic need to find outsized success creating the next unicorn tech juggernaut.

😈 Maleficent, the evil queen, had her goblins searching for Sleeping Beauty for 16 years.

🛑 BUT…. they were looking for a baby the whole time. Acceptance criteria fail!

🧠 This is why it’s so important for villains to leverage AGILE practices. Don’t let this become your team. My new ecourse will

Finding different ways to name 100 different head slot magic items is a staple of fantasy rpg design.
I still remember the joy I felt when I asked you if I could name a hat a "chapeau" and you were all "sure"

It felt like such a triumph at the time

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

My maternal grandfather famously put ludicrous amounts of effort into his Tom & Jerrys. One year the batter was pulled out early and when service started a neat little line of cat footprints graced the bowl. Everyone agreed the rum would kill the germs and the show went on.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

The worst part of fighting games is when you had a combo labbed into match readiness and lose it the next session. In this case, WW OTG S2 followup into Braum assist into S2 + Berserker Barrage. Was consistently getting it last session, wasn't able to play due to migraines, and now it's gone again.

In general I don't mind living alone (given I've managed 20 odd years of it, one would hope), but the nights where it's just endless logistics with no ability to share with others really do grind at the soul a little bit.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
