*watches my entire industry that I've built my career in for the last 20 years crumble to dust in a never-ending onslaught of late-stage, venture-fueled capitalistic bacchanalia*
Yeah I dunno. I'm just feeling kinda off today.
After 20 years, PNG (yes the file format) gets an update. Nice! https://www.programmax.net/articles/png-is-back/
Writing is a big part of the way I process my grief, so I am always grateful when people read my work.
"Being a father is a complex orchestra; a symphony of the very essence of what it means to be alive, to live, to speak, to listen, to learn."
I've been learning Spanish, and tonight I hit kind of a mini-milestone. I typed out a whole-ass sentence en EspaƱol and then checked it against two different translation apps and my Spanish was SPOT ON. I'm pretty proud of this!
After four good interviews, six weeks of waiting, a bunch of string-along emails along with "the team loves you!" I got an email on Friday at 5pm that the role had been "put on hold".
But hey! They love me! They'll keep my information on file!
I need a job. I'm a community-building expert. I am technical and have an impressive resume. I specialize in developer and other niche technical community building.

Nothing excites me more in gaming than deep, detailed, lovingly crafted world-building, and Compulsion Games' South of Midnight looks to be absolutely dripping with it. The kind of rich, lose-yourself narrative, the same feeling you get from a truly beloved novel or movie.
It is increasingly clear that the dev team behind this game cares so, so much about getting it right. This is utterly fantastic.
