It's cool that Kotaku picked up the Sims design document thing, but I wish the author had at least credited my comments about it instead of pretending like it was original research

I feel like people are using climate change as a proxy for talking about their fear of mortality

Because I use Mastodon to gripe now apparently

I don't know what bug seems to have struck library/archives Twitter, but a disproportionate amount of my feed is now "climate grief." People sobbing about how the world will be destroyed in 30 years and how all work anyone's doing is pointless, etc. etc. Climate change is scary and we have to prepare for it but this is just nihilism. It's a weird thing to be... trendy?

A video essayist asked me for help finding sources about the educational value/intentions of The Sims... my reply was a little long

I've started writing a new post, and I'm already giggling about this

Oh right I forgot to post the new article here!

I can't wait to share what this secret project I'm working on is. We've been asked to do a social media blackout for the time being, but hopefully I can at least talk about it soon, even without details

I'm on a secret project that involves being in a shared hotel/apartment space with a bunch of gamer people, and they watch Youtube game criticism videos. It's like a whole separate world. It's screechy, angry, vapid, and faux-intellectual. I don't understand the appeal at all, but it's eye-opening that this is how so many people interact with game criticism

Anyway this is why I wrote 1800 words about SimIsle
