Mr. Bistro

It smacks of troll farming to me. The only goal is argument.

If you're angry about these tariffs, call your reps. No, seriously, even if you're in a deep red state. Today, the aides I spoke with were scrambling to come up with a response, as they're hearing from all sorts of people who don't usually call or follow up. Make them feel that pressure.

No game can trigger my ADHD hyperfocus like this one. I feel so high when I play it.

Live in Ohio? You need to get on the phone and in inboxes ASAP.

Productions costs are the one area where I find people have the least amount of knowledge, while believing they have a competent amount.

I like the stuff we make, but #Ashes is easily my favorite of our titles. I’m obsessed with it. Crave more of it. I couldn’t be happier or prouder of what we’re doing with it right now.

Please end my suffering. I saw this picture and now I can’t stifle the internal debate of whether this is the Rarity that came in the Boutique or not.

Close to 400k words. That's like four novels! We worked on this behemoth for some time and are super proud. If you like adventure games with narratives that react to player choice, please check Wandering Galaxy out!

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

A woman who switched from a vegan diet to eating only meat and dairy products six years ago has revealed the shocking impact it’s had on her body.

Looking forward to her shocking only-Cheetos phase.

Such a fun read, and terribly insightful.

That scene from the end of Dark Knight rises where Alfred sees Bruce Wayne in the wild and they decide not to talk to each other for some reason because I guess Alfred is tired of his shit and Bruce knows it.

When a mutual from X doesn’t follow you on Bsky:

Mr. Bistro’s cat, Biscuit, is licking his beard. His beard is now ick.

I love that she loves me, but wish she wasn’t so into grooming.

We are working to restore services. We will need to halt all services until updates are resolved. Most functionality will not work.
At this moment there is no timeline for how long services will be down.

When I was learning to cook, my mother shared her recipes and techniques with me. Then she let me in on a fun little secret: whenever anyone asked her for her recipe to something, she would sabotage them and change 1-2 important aspects of the recipe. Another fun secret: my mother is a bad person.

Yeah, every game where I can bask in flow state, like 51st State, I’m not really thinking of the theme. But also, I don’t care because of all that sweet hyper focus and dopamine.

K so yesterday I polled Bluesky and doing a thread on why "it's easy for anyone to make a game and that sucks" won. So this is why it's too easy for anyone to make a game and why that sucks.

I shampoo with tequila as well.

I'm the Sony T-120. I used to have your dance recital on me, but midway through someone taped over it with an episode of Magnum P.I.

This is a hideous betrayal, not to mention the equivalent of someone shooting themselves in the foot with their own gun.

One of the interesting things about joining a social media platform is what your feed looks like while you’re still finding profiles to follow. You can follow 1-2 new profiles and suddenly your feed is radically different.

A game where players just fight a single boss-type opponent.

I love the idea of boss battlers, but don’t really care for how they’re implemented in board games. There was a PC game that came out forever ago called Warning Forever. I loved its simplicity and wish there was a board game kinda like that.

Right now I’m wrestling with the largest PHG project to date, but I picked up a copy of Burning Banners as a treat. Not allowed to touch it until the project is done. Cannot wait.

I’ve finally left The Other Place and am making a go of it here. Hello!
