The solution for bad books is to not buy them and use the money to plant trees instead.

Just got my Kingdoms of the Dump code in the mail. So happy for the team at Roach for finally doing the thing. Many years (and a lot of Sanitation Reports) later, folks will get to play it starting tomorrow!

They say your 40s are where you become the person you were always supposed to be, so would teenage Chris love Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon as much as 40 yo me does? Listen as I ponder these mysteries and more in my guest appearance on @flashback64.com!

Last weekend, I was at Really Rad Weekend sharing my turtle-themed NES homebrew games. Here's the interview: youtu.be/2qdT4II9O_w?... Many thanks to everyone at the show! I hope to return! #nesdev #nesmaker #indiedev

flowchart night in DC

This is absurd. Making something this pretty with a Speccy is like being given ketchup and mustard packets to smear on a black serving tray and somehow deriving Louvre-worthy art from them.

LP, LP, ➜, LK, HP. I went back redid my Homer Akuma. This time with synched mouth and tweaks.

Been a couple of weeks, but going live at Twitch.tv/thefinerthingsttv with A Difficult Game about Climbing

This is the stuff that keeps me up at night. The horror of having complete comfort and knowledge of data structures and the dread of how to tell the program what I meant to have happened.

updated my banner image to this little edit I made of some of my work and shots from games I've worked on ✨

Despite rumors to the contrary, Winterion Game Studios has not acquired Ubisoft.

Winterion Game Studios has officially outlived the penny. Now is the time to divest from outdated currency and subscribe to our channels on YouTube and Twitch. (Just my two cents.)

To everyone excited to get their hands on the Analogue 3D, may I recommend a certain N64 guidebook to go with it?

@elipsis.bsky.social and I will be racing Marble Madness and Marble Madness II this Sunday at ~4pm EST on GDQ Hotfix as part of the Marble Marathon weekend!

ONE MONTH UNTIL WINTERION DAY

Loved this game Nitroglycerine. It's a pastiche of Wages of Fear/Sorcerer. Feels like Roadcraft mixed with Bennett Foddy. store.steampowered.com/app/3759140/...

Time to get a little sleep and then off to the airport at 5am. Thank you, @samvan.bsky.social and @joe.radjunk.com for putting on another fantastic convention. Everyone should be coming to Really Rad Weekend. And thank you to all the friends - new and old - for being you!

The hardest thing about our Really Rad Weekend panel being done is knowing we have to mail @mcconnell.bsky.social his copy of Trauma Team back.

Landed. Somehow.

After a few flight time changes and gate changes, we are now across from a flight to Buffalo. Good omen.

helloooooooooo~

there is a very surreal weirdness to sitting in a multi-hour delay at the airport in real time, knowing it was nobly spent to earn (checks notes) an opportunity for future embarrassment

Hard to believe it's already been ten years that Gaming Alexandria has been around. Here's a (late) article about our history, as well as special thanks and small blurbs from others of what Gaming Alexandria has meant to them. Here's to another ten years! www.gamingalexandria.com/wp/2025/11/g...

The US spirals into an unnecessary war over oil, whilst the Colts and Patriots battle for AFC supremacy. Lazy ass writers.

My connecting flight has been delayed by 30 minutes. By law, I am now entitled to the state of Rhode Island as compensation.

What a splendid weekend in Florida. Met a ton of cool folks and caught up with old friends. More details next week. For now, flying back to DC! (furiously flaps arms)

The golf cart guy photobombing this is the best thing ever.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended Playing Doctor! We will try to have it uploaded before the end of the year, in case you couldn't make it out to this year's Really Rad Weekend. (In which case, go next year! We are having a blast out here.)

PREPARE TO LEARN The Winterion Game Studios team goes on in 45 minutes in the Tavern Room of Really Rad Weekend with an educational panel on medical video games! #RRW25

YES WE DO

Pew Pew Bang at Really Rad Weekend!! Come see our panel at 1:30pm!

Really Rad Weekend is really rad

ESPN 8 (The Ocho) airing in the bar at The Island here for #RRW feels super-appropriate.

A splendid food-adjacent live podcast with @extranapkins.net 😎

Time for a Really Rad Weekend! #RRW #RRW25

Didn't want to interrupt to say hi at the bar because you two were so busy keeping things going, @joe.radjunk.com and @samvan.bsky.social, but heck of a party last night and can't wait to enjoy the convention today and tomorrow! 😁

Heaven?

Landed in FL for Totally Rad Weekend, had some great brews and games with @winterion.com, finally met the legends @ianferguson.bsky.social and @wyattswickedgoods.com. We've got our panel tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully beach and pool the rest of the day. Man I've missed the water.

Having a blast at RADBAR tonight! @mauser.bsky.social bested me at World Series 99 and DDR clone, but I took the best of three for Arkanoid. Now to try someone @bernielomax.extranapkins.net's food and chill out to @ianferguson.bsky.social's tunes.

It's not a vacation without LEARNING and JOY
