#introduction time! Hello! I'm Graham, and I think too hard about things! 😂 I'm making an indie game called Brick & Bramble (ipsquiggle.itch.io/brick-and-br...), and before that I was a lead/designer/developer on Oxygen Not Included and Don't Starve. 🌱 I love to share my process always, so AMA! 📝

Found in a sunbeam

From whence comes the idea that people have either the need or the right to maintain and be consulted on their neighbourhood character?

Some bugs makin' pretty things

This is actually heartening to see.. Me and many people I know have avoided USA travel on principle, but with a definite feeling of, "... Not like it will make a difference." Well.

I'm just trying to be teagalitarian! Fighting for teaqual opportunity!

Instead of "AI", I've started calling it "ai yai" as in "ai yai yai yai"

Is your goal reducing carbon emissions? Legalize apartments. Is your goal advancing social justice? Legalize apartments. Is your goal reducing segregation? Legalize apartments. Is your goal reducing housing costs? Legalize apartments.

Went to a VanPOP urbanism gathering tonight and met a bunch of very cool people doing very cool things, and I think there is a very serious risk of me starting to spend my free time making my city a better place! 🥹

Which is worse: forgetting to put bagel mode when toasting the bagel and getting a nuclear bagel, Or accidentally putting bagel mode with the toast and getting half soggy toast?

When I record in my dream journal, I title the entry by some key element of the dream that provides "access" to the rest of the dream against fading memory. Today's: "Bowling shoes in the bean cupboard."

Wow the new update to my Pixel contains some Harry Potter marketing bullshit. Putting aside all the HP "stuff", this is still terrible, I don't need my OS to become an advertisement.

Sitting by the pool, reading my book club book in a sunbeam while the kids swim... This may be the last one of the year, holding on to it while it lasts!

Have there been any overtly gay-lyriced top 40 hits? Was listening to some Ricky Martin on the weekend and pondering how the lyrics of his (a man) popular songs are about women (that I know of), and what the state of popular culture actually is.

I have a system for arranging my teas that ensures they all get equal love from me. However, I messed something up and have had my favourite tea three days in a row now. The humanity!

These are absolutely wonderful! Be sure to view their timeline and read the posts of each tiny cross-stitch, so many gems in there!

Ugh, The Quiet Year has been on my list since forever, I really need to get it on the table.. 😭

I lost the message I clicked this from, but did you know: Captain Kirk was NOT a womanizer? Introducing: Kirk Drift. Pretty interesting. And frightening. And saddening. And long. Anyways... strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Ooooh! New comic from and author I love so much, their last comic "Seed" is one of my all time faves. Their character designs and facial expressions are just incredible too! www.webtoons.com/en/supernatu... #webcomics #webtoon

Whenever I'm in a field looking at Space Stuff, just breathing and standing because, this moment is okay how it is... I like to think about the millions of other people on the planet, looking up at the same Stuff, and try to connect with them for a moment. It's a very happy-making exercise!

Stargazing app: There's a lunar eclipse tonight at 21:17! Me: Fantastic, thank you for telling me! How's the visibility at 21:17? Stargazing app: Absolute shite!

#unicycle day 16: I put air in the tire and HOLY CRAP it's a totally different animal now. Its so responsive and easy to make corrections, but requires about 3x the tension in my body to react. Anyways: today's goal was a figure eight, and the tight turn at the end was a bonus!

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

Ponds! With stickleback fish. www.zoology.ubc.ca/~schluter/st...

If you had an elixir of magic styling, and you poured it all over your hair, would you say you coiffed a potion?

Anyone know what this weird thing is out by UBC? It looks like a bunch of fake beaches, extremely fascinating haha! #ubc #yvr #vancouver www.google.com/maps/@49.245...

This is so exciting! This is easily one of the loudest sections on the line, I can't wait!

Me: I'm home alone and so I'm going to slap some plain chicken on a plate next to a stale hunk of baguette and call it a meal and no one can stop me! Also me: This meal sucks! Who prepared this shit?

Do you just sit and think about that house on the cover of Starship Titanic? I do.

I took a sip of my coffee and thought, "DAMN, this is a good coffee!" then realized I was holding my tea.

Sharing tips for putting a tarp under your tent with my camping-noob friend

I love this leaf!

Okay, THIS is a hedge!

Sitting in my seat waiting for Bard On The Beach to being their Macbeth performance, and the music is NIN, Pink Floyd, etc. The stage appears to be some green tiled public change room or operating theatre. I'm excited. 😁
