Geoff Keighley opening the Summer Game Fest with a little speech about how this has been a rough year for games, with studio closures and layoffs disappointing everyone, before hitting us with a "but" seems like it's gonna lead to some real bullshit.

But what he actually chooses to highlight is midsize, smaller teams, and even solo developers thriving where big companies die for the sake of capitalism.

He shows the top 10 bestsellers on Steam right now, and says that while two are from what would be considered big companies, eight are from smaller teams or solo devs.

That's genuinely impressive. He found a way to keep the show hyped without completely shoving shit under the rug (as he was accused of during the whole Blizzard scandal).

Though most non-integers are not round numbers, Pi (3.14159etc) is considered round because of circles or something.

I dunno. My back hurts.

yo…. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders….

do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like

jet: hes a firebender!!!!

patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:

#zuko stealing those swords is still so funny #fav #atla

probably my most powerful interpersonal communication hack is to, whenever possible, ask either/or questions rather than yes/no questions

for example, when chatting with coworkers, i’ll often ask if they have any fun weekend plans. but let’s be real - we all feel like friendless losers when someone asks that question and we go “uhhhhh… no.” so instead, i phrase it as “so, do you have anything fun planned over the weekend, or are you just going to enjoy having some time to relax?”

phrased like this, there’s rarely any awkwardness. you’ve presented two options & given both equally positive connotations, so your conversational partner has an automatic “out,” so to speak

but it works for higher stakes conversations too!!!! my mom was saying this weekend how she and her neighbor both like walking around the neighborhood & that she wanted to suggest they take a walk together sometime, but was worried about how to approach the conversation

so i said “how about you just say ‘i’ve noticed we both like taking walks! would you be interested in going for one together, or do you use walks for some precious alone time?’”

now Walking Neighbor has an automatic “get out of jail free card” if she wants to say no!!!! which means my mom doesn’t have to worry about the conversation being uncomfortable, because she’s set it up to go smoothly

either/or questions rather than yes/no questions. it is really like magic

(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”

Blackbright comes in two flavors:

"Phantom haha what Phantom who's that I only know our friend Bobby and his grumpy boyfriend"

And

"The agony of being in love with someone who died before you ever met, doomed to wonder if the dead man would have cared for you the way you believed his false echo did, or if indeed you would've still fallen for him at all. How much of what you had was a carefully crafted lie, a kernel of truth peeking through the deception, or a reflection of what could have but will never be? Which parts belonged to the echo, and which to the dead man? Both? Neither? Could either of them have ever truly loved you? You will never know."
