Only 11 more days to go on this by the way: www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

Also suddenly realizing that as of about ten days ago I have somehow been in the games business for 37 years? That does not seem even remotely possible.

Just launched: Kickstarter campaign for the studio cast album of Ron Lytle's amazing musical Christmas in Oz! You can get it on emerald green vinyl(!), or just regular old CD or digital. www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

As we passed this building, @jesshaskins.bsky.social remarked, “I think a level designer lives here.”

Comedy is not a genre either and I wish more people would recognize that

The QotD is fun for me because sometimes a line like this will turn up and I won't remember where it's from. And then I look it up and it's some bit of completely optional goofiness that has nothing to do with completing the game, it's just in there to establish mood and character.

Psyched to have my first byline on Design Room! This article was a lot of fun to write, based a group interview with @rodkin.online @jaredej.bsky.social @thatdave.bsky.social @sasquatchers.wtf and Dave Bogan (who I don't think is on Bluesky).

Briefly expanded my four-monitor setup to be five today, but the sheer power made me too giddy, I had to back it down for my own good.

This is fucking reprehensible.

Day 2 I found a Rarity-81 word worth 94 pts in OUTLIER. SHARPSHOOTER · 897 points · 10 rare words. No one else in Outlier has ever found it. 9 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. Can you beat me? playoutlier.com/s/WC67ZX

I’ve been dwelling on this for a couple of minutes now, and I think, if @theonion.com can do market manipulation at will… we might not be as bad off as I thought.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

Proud of you @devolverdigital.com

I don’t know about you but I’m fairly tired of everything in this country being a mob boss pressure tactic

Oh no

This post was of course brought to you by my own filthy real life glasses

I figured this must exist, happy that it does.

It wasn’t up to me, but Alzo was my top pick too.

Is there a game where keeping the character’s glasses or visor clean is part of the play?

This is an insane solution. And needs to happen immediately. VA legislature should retire the whole state Supreme Court and appoint a new set of judges who will uphold the vote of the people.

Congrats to @theonion.com, now do whitehouse dot gov next.

Oh thank goodness, I’ve been needing one of these

See, this is the problem.

I see your and raise it: cemetery. - hello, what are you doing here? - (raises urn) my father. - my mother. (Raising urn too) Happened in my family.

Incidentally, top ten awkward places to bump into friends contender: the emergency room. Oh hey, uh…nice to see you guys?

Bless @theonion.com, still keeping me sane.

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

Yep. Mimicry is an important skill for writers in my business, and it's fun, it's like acting for writers. And you can't leave it to AI - if you're telling a story in someone else's IP, you've got to get yourself into the mindset in order to do anything new. It goes far beyond the feel of the text.
