my well-meaning non-gamedev friends have finally stopped recommending the gamedev novel that heavily plagiarizes an existing, real-world game

the novel is now being made into a movie

ugh these are so cool

it's an official micro machine from when they briefly resumed the line after the force awakens!

on clear acrylic display shelves, an array of star wars micro machines miniatures, each barely half an inch tall. at the center, a 3d-printed stinger mantis from the star wars jedi games, surrounded by miniature stormtroopers, jyn erso, moroff, baze malbus, darth vader, krennic, death trooper and thrawn

i have acquired tiny stinger mantis...

it was all in flash. it had pink striped background and white crown moulding. i'm almost positive i drew the crown logo

the 2008-2010 version i believe yeah

If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

this morning did your city arrest a pardoned jan 6 white supremacist who was livestreaming himself secretly touching women's hair on the subway or is your city normal

promo for GDC that reads "GDC Festival of Gaming" gdconf.com, I'm speaking at GDC 2026, March 09 -13, 2026, with a photo of Jay Justice, a dark skinned Black person smiling, with her pink and purple braided hair pulled back and wearing a gold and red Thai sash.

With the state of *gestures widely* everything, it's been hard to feel much joy. But I am so grateful & honored to be invited to speak at GDC this year, especially as a gamedev who was impacted by layoffs last year. Check out our talk & hit me up for meetups! #GDC schedule.gdconf.com/session/1rea...
