(Vaguely after lunch.)

Just FYI, planning to do a GDC hang in the free area of Yerba Buena tomorrow (Thursday). Swing by and say Hi!

EL JEFE: I have to do a research paper for school.

ME: Okay.

EL JEFE: I got to pick the subject.

ME: Sure.

EL JEFE: It's going to be on the history of Heavy Metal mus--

ME: YES I WILL HELP YOU MY SON

Well… not any more.

Bit more than that, apparently. The original story in the Star-Tribune tried to hint that they'd called it off, which was patently false.

The aforementioned leaders have come out saying they have NOT ended the Target boycott, they were NOT contacted for the original Star-Tribune story this is based on, and the boycott is still very much in effect.

"Hey Dad, got any pants I can borrow?"

--added to the list of questions I never expected to be asked.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

With those pants, I seriously hope you get to try out the new Moomintroll game.

Right this instant, I bet the military and political leadership of Iran, having read President Pedophile's post on Truth Social, are saying to themselves, "Oh, we didn't mean it! Of course, and with all possible speed, we will immediately remove those mines from the Straight of Hormuz, youbetcha!"

Oh, it's got the Nazi murdering down pat, but bloody hell, is it pedantic. Not just once or twice, but always.

The funny thing is, spiders don't know they're scary.

Hot Take: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a better Inglorious Basterds than Inglorious Basterds, which is horribly over and under-written at the same time.

Please repost. Want to get the word out. How many reposts can we get? Thank you. #BookSky #scifi

Informa rents out Yerba Buena every year from the city so nobody else restricts access.

THIS mess is apparently the catered lunch for $2500 Game Changer passes. But it devalues general GDC passes and encourages people to not show up.

Attendance will drop because of this, @officialgdc.bsky.social.

Sweet! Will do the same!

I am GDC-adjacent this year. :)

Meaning I'm popping into a few events around GDC, and I'll probably hang out in whatever part of Yerba Buena is still open for an afternoon (currently thinking Thursday).

Would love to bump into you as well!

Thirsty Suitors and TMNT are each worth $16.

This is not The Way.

Psst... @gavinnewsom.bsky.social...

You're not going to be President.

That's your ego talking. Nobody else in America is listening to your ego.

Anya, don't lowball yourself. Therapists get $90/hr.

Even though I'm very happy to see people, my advice to anyone traveling from outside the U.S. to anywhere in the U.S. for any reason right now is Don't.

We are ruled by extremist bigots who are also very stupid, and we don't even have a serious opposition party.

Roughly eight months ago, the head of a game studio asked me what I thought about EA's "100 million Battlefield players!" declaration, and he didn't like it when I said it's setting those studios up for failure, because Battlefield has historically never had that many concurrent players.

Got @writnelson.bsky.social swag, got my @osamadorias.bsky.social hug (and a bonus @duckvalentine.bsky.social hug!), caught up with @heylookitsalan.bsky.social.

I just need to see GIG homies and get into an unhinged conversation (complementary) with @willovergard.bsky.social, and my GDC’s complete.

Don’t ever change, Day of the Devs.

Fucking around AND finding out.

Look, I know you're all flying in to SF for GDC, but get them to turn the planes around. They just set all the clocks back an hour and it feels fucking awful.

WE DON’T KNOW FLOYD THEY JUST CHANGED ALL THE FUCKING CLOCKS
