Made a very silly (and easy) game for a game jam this weekend. The theme was “Grandma on a mission” bladebarringer.itch.io/grandma-and-...

@potch.me when can people not in the bay area buy your game?

@fangamer.com is there an estimated release date for a Deltarune Chapter 5 piano book?

A side-effect of this is that it makes even the messages about cool, human-made projects intolerable to engage with. Whenever any message comes in, whether it’s a project I would like or not, I taste bile in my mouth and I’ve got to just throw the message out

Quick question @ryannorth.ca: is this one of Ratatoskr’s pranks after learning about Alberta’s history from Doreen?

When I was a kid, it was renting Chrono Trigger from the video store and playing a New Game+ someone else had unlocked without any idea what that meant. I went years without being an active gamer, but played Deltarune and reminded myself that not only do I love games, but I want to make games too

Made a silly game with my kids over the weekend. It’s about one of my kid’s stuffed animals, and the lore they’ve built around it. He wants to eat you. You can try and satiate his hunger, but you will fail bladebarringer.itch.io/big-smile-st...

Me yesterday with the nice weather

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

The writers on this season are awfully heavy handed.

Strongly considering getting two of these cards and then begging Erica Henderson and Derek Charm to let me commission them to alter it into their respective styles scryfall.com/card/msh/371...

Participated in a tiny game jam over the long weekend. The theme was Connection. I wish I could have worked on it more, but I'm pretty happy with what I learned and put together in such a short time! bladebarringer.itch.io/doodle-dot

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

Hell yeah, if you need me, I’ll be standing outside the hasbro offices with a boombox blasting the @themountaingoats.bsky.social rendition of Solidarity Forever

@alyssakaye.bsky.social !!

My kid and I are on our 3rd read through of the @ryannorth.ca / @ericafails.bsky.social run of the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. And I suspect when we conclude it, we’ll immediately pick up the @shannonhale.bsky.social novels for a re-read.

absolutely losing it at my local mexican market using the Rent font for their Lent mailer

These clocks can't stop me because they can't read!

Evergreen post

Picked this up on this recommendation and finally finished it. My first visual novel - there were several scenes throughout the game that really got me in the feels in ways that were completely unexpected. Bravo @kinmoku.bsky.social

When everyone talked about quitting tech and becoming farmers that was not what we meant

The guy who took this video is 17. The kids are all right. Be like them. Down with ice thugs. Hands off our kids.

My CSS Colors picture by @potch.me finally arrived!

Fort Christmas XV, constructed by @bladebarringer.com and the kids. It’s the first time I’ve been hands off with the annual blanket fort. My stupid little back injury wouldn’t really let me bend in the way I’d have needed to bend to execute the kids’ design.

@alyssakaye.bsky.social any recs?

@whereistanya.bsky.social just finished the Staff Engineer’s Path and thought it was very insightful, thanks for writing it!

@sarahgraley.com my daughter was playing library and drew one of the computers to search the catalog and chose Glitch as the book she was searching for

7yr old: “guess what’s in this?” (Pointing at heart shaped locket) Me: “I don’t know!” 7yr old: pulls out a Lego eye tile Me: “yeah, that tracks”

The sleep headphones I have had for a while stopped working. Anyone got a brand that they love?

Attention @deathbear.bsky.social !!

I offered to write “Happy 7th Birthday” in the speech balloon, but my daughter said that didn’t make sense. She had a very specific vision, which was for me to render this Squirrel Girl panel in buttercream so she could eat Hippo the Hippo’s face. @ryannorth.ca @ericafails.bsky.social

@breebird33.bsky.social my family has read Garlic and the Vampire several times this week. One kid spent several weeks worth of allowance to buy a Lego vampire minifigure inspired by the book. Thank you for writing it!

Come to find out what leads autistics into and out of fundamentalism, stay to hear Jon’s truly unhinged method of gathering data from ancient language teachers.

If you are a Wheaton alum, here is a letter urging the college administration not to endorse Vought or Project 2025. You can sign via the link at the top of the doc. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm about to start sending emails to podcasts and youtube channels that I think would be interested in talking with me about my autism and Christianity research, if you have any channels that you think I should email, let me know.

@runwithskizzers.bsky.social my neurodivergent kids and I appreciated this panel a lot - also, they squealed with delight whenever Nancy showed up, thank you for taking care of our girl Doreen, we’ve been enjoying the books
