Will be in a chicken suit on the Big Games Night Out main stage from 4pm to 4:15pm

perfecting the GCAP stare (eyes darting down to someone's lanyard and convincing yourself they haven't noticed)

Fit checkpoint ✋🔥

you'll score a secure and peaceful future from this temporary turbulence i just know it <3

Du hast zuviel gepoggst

*rear ends you* (⸝⸝⸝>﹏<⸝⸝⸝)

i'm mad as hell and can only express my feelings through memes

My mind goes to delicious mushrooms, especially the saffron milk cap :3

choosing 19th/20th c. civ representatives like Jose Rizal and Harriet Tubman is a cool acknowledgement of the nature of postcolonial nationalism in the modern era: it's not necessarily heads of state paving the way for independence, but those skilled at capturing & promoting the will of their people

bts playtest applications are open again!

same energy

thank you to my boss for letting me post this and thank you to our publisher for not immediately excommunicating us

Definitely trying to capture the beginner audience - EU4 can be an overwhelming game to get into! It is tricky trying to reenter the "clueless beginner" mindset so if you have any memories of things that confused or enlightened you when you first started playing, I'd love to hear it!

A screenshot of Dragon Age: Veilguard's character screen, with a bunch of equipment slots of varying types, along with tabs for other menus. Across the various menu elements, there are 10 different elements with "unread" pips, circled in red.

I had a thread where I complained about how "unread" pips in inventories+menus "drive me crazy". I deleted it; it was an emotional take on a complex design space.

Instead I'll talk about:
1: The problems they're trying to solve
2: Why I think they're often a bad solution
3: Why they happen anyways

Thank you!

People sneer at the medium and bemoan TikTok brain rot etc etc but I've always believed the strongest messages are those that can be conveyed with brevity. I most recently tried to explain EU4's trade system in under a minute, which was uhh a challenge (but lots of fun)

I've been having a lot of fun delving into short form video for EU4! Have a look if you want I guess youtube.com/@europaunive...

I miss its serif typeface era....so classic....so timeless.....

Almost thought I'd lost my most prized possession, an Adobe rubik's cube I found in a tip shop in Tasmania

It's kinda why I like to poke devs to get involved in the occasional bit of community-side work. It's a nice morale boost to see the forest for the trees when you're ass deep in code all day long, for example

woah my name is in a gamerant article 😳

Community management for BTS has been SO rewarding and it's not even out yet. Whether it's cutting a trailer reel or writing a dev diary, stepping back to see the big picture of this crazy project is overwhelming in the best way possible.

thankfully our opposition are showing some mana.

Horrified to hear about the NZ government's proposals to reverse Māori sovereignty. Thank you to my Kiwi colleagues for schooling me on toitū te tiriti ❤️

Co-signed with the addendum: and sometimes up until 10pm

Webcam software logic: better for the subject to be overexposed than have a washed out background!! ahhhaa

That should have been the prize at the centre of the curiosity cube

Ohhh envious of your curls

YEAH WHAT'S THEIR DEAL
