FYI: by turning off "Smart features" Google also turns off spell check and the promotions & social tabs.

So to "enjoy" all feature in Google, you must give consent to AI tracking. That's privacy blackmail and should be illegal.

The travel gods were kind, and we get one last bonus stream in this Seattle studio before my move. Come see Sprinkles, hear about my book tour last week, and get indie gaming in since we don't know if we'll have a setup next week! https://twitch.tv/funnygodmother 10AM PT - 1PM PT #gamedev #uxdesign

Well, it’s been a crazy journey trying to solo launch a podcast and a book tour and a book and also a full time job as a creative director on a game going through a generational reset.

My podcast is nearing the end of Season 1 and there are some great episodes but this week’s is doing really well, probably because of the great retro GBA/DS game dev stories and efficient art/design inspo from me and my guest Tamara Knoss https://sites.libsyn.com/586820 #videogames #gameDev #uxDesign

Last stream of the year - and possibly last stream for a while, as I'm rehoming in Seattle and will need time to figure out what kind of streaming I can do in the smaller place and on the new schedule (plus lots of travel coming.) Join me 10AM PT - 1PM PT https://twitch.tv/funnygodmother
