I've been working with the Prideful Sloth team since 2023 (!), was delighted by the game then, and it's truly even better now—so much fun, so weird & great with friends! GO (go) buy it!! (plus you can invite me as an NPC to your town & I just ask you to sell sushi—driving a hard bargain, I know)

If I could make everyone watch LOCAL HERO, I would, this among many many reasons

this is the wooooooooooorst

That physical editions are quick, easy, and simple to achieve and that somehow devs haven’t realized this

For DOOMSDAY MACHINES this week I wrote a bit about the production and availability of photographs of Hiroshima's damage from the ground in the 1940s and 1950s. Features some dark photographs and perhaps an even more disturbing cover of LIFE magazine from 1952... doomsdaymachines.net/p/hiroshima-...

Kicking off a little re-introduction to Go-Go Town! now that we are less than a month (!) out from 1.0 🫨 (and in related news, I will forever be grateful that we have the incredible @mootrix.bsky.social making videos for us, she has made a masterpiece here)

Spent this weekend as a true child of my father: going to an octogenarian geologist's rock and fossil open house, impulse purchasing a Thomas Guide from 1999 on eBay, then taking Dad out to lunch and talking about film formats

Varric not being romanceable is truly unforgiveable

What a guy

what is a legacy / it's planting seeds in a garden you have yet to see

One of the busier weeks of my life BUT culminated with 3️⃣ announcements in Wholesome Direct this past weekend! 🧸 @playmomento.com surprise launch!! 🏗️ @gogotowngame.com coming to 1.0 & Switch July 16!! (+ new key art!) 📦 @unpackinggame.com X @paralives.com collab, which I got a lil emotional about 🥹

I’m glad CATS won several Tonys, all very deserved but man it *deserved* best revival. I’ve been thinking about it ever since we saw it - how truly transformative it is. An all-timer!

me seeing I Love Boosters at the Laemmle instead of using my AMC A-List

Freeman Tilden, Interpreting our Heritage—published in 1957 but an incredible synthesis of how to present history and information to the public David Roediger, The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class—blew my hair back when I first read it, still incredible

It begins

If you're running a Steam event & you want participating games to promote it, with your graphics I'm begging you: - space for key art that is 1920x1080 OR a Steam header size - no gradient / color overlays - no excessive objects poking into frame

woke up early on Saturday to camp out at a vintage store that doesn’t take orders over the phone OR online, but I am now the proud owner of this print of a Gemini spacecraft from an engineer at Gulton Industries in 1962

Another doozy from @arielsabar.bsky.social - on the secret history of the Met’s smuggled golden sarcophagus and the family that’s supplies looted Egyptian antiquities to half the world: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

THE CHOMPING ANIMATION I can't 😭

For future japes, let's diſcuſs proper use of the Long S (aka ſ) - uſed at the ſtart & middle of words - not at the end - not uppercaſe - not after an abbreviating apoſtrophe (ie "clos'd") - not adjacent to f - double s ("ſſ") is always long unleſs at the end - this liſt is not exhauſtive

I think we as a culture need to go back and appreciate the 2022 album The Loneliest Time by Carly Rae Jepsen some more. I think it would fix some things

teaching my phone that the eponymous grocer’s last name was Ralphs

A poster for Nixon’s Senate campaign and a record featuring a Jesuit priest answering teen questions about sex. They both hang in the bathroom

the selling of nuclear civil defense as a concept to housewives in the Eisenhower administration, and how it became an unexpected source of agency for those women

A tub of Nutella floating around the capsule. Thanks to Artemis II that's the furthest a tub of Nutella has been from Earth. #Artemisii #Artemis

I am thrilled with the successful launch today, but I do see people nervous thinking about Challenger & it bears pointing out that throughout our very long manned spaceflight program, that was the only accident at launch and one of 3 fatal incidents. There were 110 shuttle launches post-Challenger!

I love placeholder assets 🏗️

Look at this incredible 1883 color-coded map of Washington showing the varieties of street pavement. From the People's Archive of the DC Public Library. digdc.dclibrary.org/do/523a37ae-...

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

it ain't much, but it's honest work

never wanted a concession item more than the seattle mariners + washington state ferries lil boat

not too too much damage in the criterion flash sale even though I almost bought Double Indemnity a second time

The Good Shit™️

Did you know that you can “adopt” puppets from the Bob Baker Marionette Theatre to support their work AND one of them is named Oilene and is a sexy oil derrick? 🙏🏼 See the full lineup here: www.bobbakermarionettetheater.com/adoptapuppet

Do yourself a favor and check out the Never's End demo—it's a real delight to play AND is all in 3D which is a masterful feat (and they'll be doing a talk at GDC about it this week if you want to learn more!) Also I will never shut up about Pack Cat, your companion slash backpack 💖

Internet is back and I wrote 750 words 😌🙏🏼

Me: running around the house screaming because we have no internet since Wednesday Also me: not working on the short story that’s due to my writing group that does not require internet to finish

Oh right, I'll be at GDC next week! 😵‍💫 I'll be attempting a low-key GDC (difficulty: impossible) and if you're looking for social / community support in the back half of the year (or just want to say hi), please let me know!

Oh this is a fascinating read! I so loved living in the DC area because of its rich, complicated, and bizarre history that permeates everything (like, I wrote my master's thesis on the rollercoaster that is the WWII memorial) and is so often written off, so I can't wait to read the whole series

Time is a flat circle

How to describe THE APPLE?? A movie that contains an evil music executive, rock opera, God in a Rolls Royce, Canadian folk music stars, actual sequence set in Hell, and one vampire. Time to watch it on the big screen as Mr Boogalow intended: www.americancinematheque.com/now-showing/...

It was such an honor to work as one of Gabor's research assistants in college, to attend so many Civil War Institutes, and have him as a mentor and advisor. He made me love Lincoln, but also to focus on the smaller stories of the Civil War & I am forever grateful. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/b...

a moment in time: sixteen years ago I took a tauntaun sleeping bag outside into "Snowmaggedon" in DC and then it got put in the Think Geek catalog

this is why I shouldn't be allowed to have dev tools 😌

we are back from our adventure at sea (with some wild swells) and have now put our cute merit badges and patches up for sale if you want to get some!

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.
