Wobbly headed Lion is better than no Lion.

I'm being deposed for something that happened seven years ago and for what I thought was a favor:

Had a long night in the emergency room due to my wife having eye problems. She's been too keyed up all day to sleep. I just talked her into a nap by explaining different Excel formulas. I should have never discovered this power. (Plume, beloved outdoor stray, pictured looking jazzed for wet food.)

Imperator: Rome - Invictus campaign wrapped up. The desert-dwelling Nabateans wanted to enjoy a quiet life of trading and raiding but instead had to civilize the backwards Greeks and Romans. #Imperator #ImperatorRome

If anyone needs some accounting, finance, or even simple bookkeeping assistance, drop me a line. Apparently, doing this forever, and still doing it currently, doesn't meet this market's qualifications. Bonus points if you're an indie studio with no money. Now here's my cat in a box.

I've upped the goal one last time!! Can we get this fund for out of work game developers to $250k in the next four days!?

The F300 Elite isn't a particularly fancy stick but it's worked great so far with the SuperStation One!

Not sure what's up with my computer fan going nuts.

We are halfway to the end of the game industry hardship bundle - this is when most campaigns to experience a slump - let's try to beat the trend! We've already raised $160k to help out of work game devs - I'd love to double that by campaign's end. Please share widely! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.

PC Engine game with a sick cover but so-so gameplay #4826.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

I should like this, a subtle horror out of Austria from 2004, but man, being nervous at a new job around weird and rude people is carrying way too much of the weight.

Only 4 more days to put your game into the game industry hardship fund! Please add your games (and TTRPGs are okay too) so we can make some money for out of work game devs! Do it over the weekend! itch.io/jam/game-ind...

Hollywood: You already had it all with Channel Zero!

After two years of research I made public a database of fighting games that are playable in some form on Windows 100% manually made in 90's HTML code that looks like shit on mobile. There's a lot of work left but I hope it will be helpful for some people hanagumi.denpa.cl/fightingdb/

Bring back Raised by Wolves! That is all.

What did the five beans say to the face?

One day I'll make a friend to play old Street Fighters with. Not today or tomorrow or the day after or the day after that or probably ever, but one day.

Tried to get in touch with a plumbing company and spent way too long talking to an AI thing that tried to pretend to be a real person. They said I had a business account under Sandra. I said I hadn't heard of them "Um, yes, I can see how that would be awkward." And that's one way to lose business.

I'm learning that a realtor is crucial in the negotiation process so that my "get fucked" becomes "not quite what they had in mind."

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

Last new fighting game I really enjoyed. Not sure what happened, used to love that genre.

Learned a pretty cool thing about cars today: a leaking evaporator can cost more to repair than the value of your vehicle. Nice.

And may you be spared the evil eye, passerby.

The tyranny of landlords! A "balcony audit" informed us that bird feeders aren't allowed. Look at what they tried to deny us! Tiny tracks in the snow!

Jugurtha learned of Romans' weakness for bribes and that powerful friends in Rome can go a long way. He famously described Rome as "urbem venalem et mature perituram, si emptorem invenerit" ("a city for sale and doomed to quick destruction, if it should find a buyer").

A few people destroying our aquifers, taxing our infrastructure, helping themselves to our savings, and grifting their way to future breadlines should take some time out of blowing themselves to watch more Twilight Zone. m.imdb.com/title/tt0734...

Someone needs to crack open the emergency Tom Hanks Case so that he can make another WW2 movie and remind these fucking idiots.

Why is everyone saying "counterfactual" now instead of "what if"? When did this happen?

I can't wait for the day when I don't ever have to think again about LinkedIn. 'It's amazing how many people you fired, sir, please let me talk about synergizing and subverting hiring norms with AI, sir!'

Growing up, I knew a kid who had a Master System instead of an NES, and he was completely lost in most conversations. I like to think a later kid grew up with Clockwork Knight as their primary mascot and platformer and doesn't get what all this Mario and Sonic hubbub is about.

Goodness.

Steam award nominations are live now! If you feel like Demonschool fits any of these categories for you, please give it a nomination! (might we suggest soundtrack?) store.steampowered.com/steamawards/...

Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

As someone who has gone uncredited on an ungodly number of projects ... nice.

Being married to a librarian who knows your tastes is 👌

My wife always said she could smell sneezes. I never knew that was possible. Starting about two months ago, I smelled one for the first time, and now I keep smelling them. It's horrible.

Ah yes, nooses and swastikas, famous symbols of brotherly love. The flag of the slaver's treason isn't any better, but is sometimes thought so, but the nooses and swastikas really puts the point on it, huh?

Faye 🤝 My Social Anxiety

Let's talk about the late great Becky Heineman and some hidden easter eggs! I grew up playing her games (Bard's Tale!) and her impossible Apple IIGS ports (Out of this World, Wolfenstein 3D!). I remember getting to interview her when I was reviewing her IIGS remake of Ultima I...
