Met some amazing poutines during my trip

About to enjoy an excellent panel with some lovely speakers. Having expert voices from the games field speaking directly to people building AI tools and infrastructure is one of the strongest ways to minimize damage and maximize benefit from these technologies.#GameDev #AI

En route to the Maritimes! Looking forward to kicking off the week this evening. If you’ll be at UNB Fredericton over the next few days, or at XP Game Connect Atlantic later this week, feel free to say hi, especially if you’re showcasing anything you’re working on!

#GameDev #IndieDev 🇨🇦

Looking forward to spending time with Canada’s Atlantic game devs next week in Fredericton and Halifax! Keep an eye out for me, and swing by my talk on Friday to learn about all the ways Xsolla can help with the business side of your games!

A special thanks to all of my friends who could have sworn they had seen me at BitSummits past. I think you collectively manifested something because despite this being my first time here, halfway around the world, I felt surprisingly at home. 🙏

Here’s what I look like for #BitSummkt Day 3! Find me on the floor, near Starbucks, at Pop Pizza @ 7pm, or by river until late if you wanna chat about

• Help you need
• Building games and studios with intention
• All the things Xsolla does
• Your favorite Persona 4 character and why it’s Chie

Looking forward to celebrating #BitSummit’s business focused day at tonight’s Afterparty. Please send me pictures of our speech if you are attending!

おはようございます。Enjoying my first breakfast in Japan, and as always, food outside of the US is just Better. Had a real Tamago Gohan and a small omelet with a lovely view of this rainy garden.

Just finished the first leg of my long journey from Orlando to Kyoto for #BitSummit!

Yo dawg, I heard you like progress bars so I put progress bars in your progress bars so you can progress while you progress #gameDev

This track slaps.

Making a little game for work

Every once in a while I stumble on this blog I wrote over a decade ago and am amazed, gobsmacked that nobody diagnosed me with #ADHD until
my 30s

Someone abandoned this plant on the curb. Might adopt it if it isn’t horribly diseased…

I have become such a big fan of getting to the airport early.

Heading back to Logan after a lovely Thursday and Friday at #PAXEast. Was great to catch up with so many familiar faces an to meet so many new good folks! So many great games on the floor, and the #indiedev presence is stronger than ever! ✨

Well, the server migration took 8 hours, but peoplemaking.games is back online and running on much faster hardware! :astro:

There are some features which haven't been re-enabled yet, such as full text search and translation. Those will come back over the next few days, but they shouldn't require any more downtime.

If you notice anything else that isn't working the way you expect, please let me know.

Hey PMG 👋

I’ve been struggling to keep up with maintenance of the instance and to tackle some of the stability issues we’ve been facing. But when things get hard, folks have a way of showing up to help.

Give a welcome to @brook aka @brook@sunny.garden. I’m going to be handing off server ownership and Brook will be migrating us to the same setup used for sunny.garden, which he’s been running stably for years.

Your current mod and admin staff will still be here as well, and we’ll all keep you informed as this progresses.

Thank you for being a lovely community, and I’m happy we’ve found a path for continuation.
