I make games, software, companies, and communities. Fight negativity with passion and compassion. @patrickmcurry here and elsewhere.
I’ve watched a couple episodes of Yellowjackets and I’m intrigued… but I’ve been burned by TV shows before. Do they know what they’re doing? You tell me! #yellowjackets

dansupI've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.
Not for sale.
Pixelfed belongs to the people.
I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.
That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.
It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.
Are you with me?

I'm super stoked to share this interview with my pal Alex Irvine, lead writer on Marval Rivals. Alex let me (and my kids) pepper him with questions about Rivals, his career, how he moved from sci-fi to comics to games, and more! https://patrickcurry.com/marvel-rivals-alex-irvine/ #marvelrivals #gamedev
Answering my own question: I played around with SkyFeed for Bluesky ( https://skyfeed.app/ ) a bit today and it's pretty cool and powerful. Still open to other ideas and options.
Here’s another #Mastodon thought. What happens if a Mastodon instance goes offline? Like it just disappears from the Internet? Do the posts that once lived there that were boosted by users on other instances survive? Or do those “echos” disappear too?
Here’s an idea: mute lists that are portable across multiple apps and social media platforms. I’ve been carefully curating my email, adblock, and social accounts for years. This makes logging into a new platform feel like visiting your uncle who insists on having Fox News on TV full-blast 24/7!

My friend Drew Davidson does awesome work curating the "Well Played" series of books, full of essays diving deep into some of the best video games ever made. I'm excited to share that my piece on Tetris is included in the latest collection, "Well Played: For the Love of Games"! It's a free ebook, check it out!
