(I was also originally against the name Patattie but both Daisy and @rothiotome.bsky.social were very pro it, so the fact that the name elicited so much joy on this podcast is further proof of how wrong I was to doubt it 😅)
Fun facts tho re: names
Somerwolff, for those who don't know, is a new surname me and my wife Daisy made together mashing our previous surnames because we couldn't agree on what name to have when we got married.
And Daisy is also who came up with the name for Patattie Games for me and Rothio. 😁😁
This was DELIGHTFUL! Really wonderful conversation about Wax Heads, @rachelwatts.bsky.social describing the game experience just as I hoped it would hit!
(Although I do have to unfortunately reveal that while yes I did work on Welcome to Elk and Dead Pets, I am in fact a man 😅)
Listen. Employers.
You can ask for a cover letter from your applicants.
Or
You can have automated screeners that filter your applicants at the door.
But you can't ask for both at the same time when *your screener clearly boots the application before a human gets to read the cover letter*.
JFC.
Hey, are you employed and upset about what's happening to your game dev friends but your company doesn't have any openings?
GO BUY AN INDIE GAME FROM YOUR WISHLIST.
That's the only way to save the industry.
Come hang with me at the record store with Wax Heads 💽
Live on twitch 💛
My thoughts with all the Xbox folks that are in utter uncertainty about whether they're safe or not, and with those that are being tossed aside by an uncaring machine.
