my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

I like that people enjoy this one. Feels nice sometimes to drop the pretense and let out my genuine wish that everyone achieve some sort of security and ability to appreciate and find joy in their idiosyncracies.

I don’t talk about video games much on the show, but I always love when I get the opportunity and this conversation with @nathangrayson.bsky.social is no exception!
It was great to get his insights on what’s happening at Microsoft and the broader troubles facing game workers.

The video game industry is in a tough spot. Microsoft’s effort to remake it hasn’t helped.
This week @nathangrayson.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss huge Xbox layoffs and how Microsoft’s plan to remake gaming around Game Pass hasn’t panned out.

Talked some Big Systemic Things on Post Games’ first annual games physical - thanks to Chris for having me!!
"What you're talking about is very literally colonization via capital. You want to harvest games for as long as those games give you a similar product for a cheaper price. Then you no longer care about that creative team, voice, or culture as soon as the economics change."

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/Teen...

The irony of ADHD at work is that they only assign ABPs / admin assistants to executives.
If I had an ABP, my reach would no longer exceed my grasp. We would chart a course to success together, lock tf in and crush every obstacle in our path
