- Reposted by Jodie Azharpeople have been asking what Building Relationships is about, so i made this gameplay trailer to help explain things hope this helps!
- This cymbidium started flowering 2 weeks ago, first of this Winter's orchids to bloom. It's so hard to photograph tho. It's a much darker red than it appears here, but trying to capture the sunlight transmission through the petals makes it look much brighter 🌱

- Turns out it was good that I didn't get a ticket for AdventureX in the end. I am very filled with cold right now 😷 #sadtimes

- Opinion: tomatoes are a vegetable, but mushrooms are not
- Accidentally bought a book I already own because I saw it secondhand. Feeling weirdly annoyed, despite it not having cost much 🤦🏽♀️
- Director played new game
- Waiting for two cats to turn up at my house, so I'm unable to do anything useful until that happens
- It's Autumn equinox today. There's a chill to the air. But the sun is shining. Nature persists
- Reposted by Jodie AzharHi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

- Usually I love being thorough with work tasks & knowing confidently that something is complete with no unknown side effects. But today I just want this particular task to be done so I can work on a specific (creative) other task. But I know I can't just leave this half baked

- I need to gather a group of friends to discuss what conditions different species would develop sentience under, & what kinds of society & cultures would develop due to their physiology & needs. Not for any particular reason, I just want to talk about cool stuff with cool people

- Gloomy day. Going to have to put lights on in the house. Maybe burn a candle. Something with scent. Let's make the workspace cozy. Autumn vibes!
- There's something supremely satisfying about being able to add tags to the writing for my game, for animations that don't actually exist yet & know that once the matching animation file has been created it will just run without any further input

- I pretty much always prefer a tool/system where assets can be viewed & debuged by their creators instead of them going into a blackbox. I never want things to be reliant on a coder to debug or even fix issues if I can give that power to the people who care most about that content
- Reposted by Jodie AzharIt wasn't a dream then. Can hardly believe I'll be on @simonparkin.bsky.social's prestigious podcast. In terms of my imposter syndrome, this is validating in just lovely ways. Do share and subscribe to hear it early.
- Can video games bring people closer? Next week, we’re joined by TEDx speaker and veteran journalist @geekdadgamer.bsky.social, founder of YouTube channel Family Gamer TV and new “Tinder for Games” discovery platform, Ludocene. If you're not already subscribed, now's the time: bit.ly/43RMgx9
- Can you turn off DMs in bsky? I've been sent some & am not verifying my age so would rather people didn't think I'm ignoring them (or realistically I don't like the mystery that I could be missing out on an awesome message) Also please don't DM me
- Inside me are two wolves. One wants to be creative. The other just really wants to build the most robust tools & pipelines for creating & debugging the creative output so that everything runs smoothly & effectively for the eventual day when I am finally creative without technical distractions
- Trying to avoid websites where ppl post opinions as facts telling you why something is so exciting (sorry, but realistic animations of historical works of art is boring & kinda gross) Anyway, making an effort to draw real tangible things, which I do enjoy. Trust the process. Enjoy the process
- Omg is it Friday already?! Objectively I know it is, but I'm not feeling Friday in my bones. Oh yeah we had a bank holiday this week
- I wish Twine had existed when I was a teenager. I remember making branching stories using html webpages, but it being a bit too faffy and not being able to store variables and do cool things to turn it into the kind of text adventure I wanted
