I have designed a new Pomodoro technique Work on a porch in the sunshine with no electrical outlet. Everytime it runs out of battery, get up and stretch, return it to its charger, and grab the other laptop

Due to popular demand, we are setting up a heavily discounted fulfillment service for artists outside the US that are scrambling after the recent tariff / customs policy put in place for shipments to the USA.

This Sat Sept 6 at 7pm, join comics creators @jefflemire171.bsky.social (Jeff Lemire: Sweet Tooth, Essex County, The Underwater Welder) & @funeralbeat.bsky.social (Jenn Woodall: Magical Beatdown, Space Trash) for a @prairiecomicsfest.bsky.social 2025 presented event! - mailchi.mp/grant/pcf-2025

Another concept I created for Peculiar Path's solarpunk project, this one exploring the interior of a potentially transformed cruise ship. At this point we wanted a wonky, DIY, scrappy feel to everything, but still with an aura of hope and excitement and possibility.

Ok - what if you made a game in stages. RPG, avatar creation but nothing too zany, matched up with 15 people. Stage 1 you're given a collaborative project to complete, some tasks require 2-3 people to accomplish. Sort of Among Us, but challenging enough to distract you from knowing Stage 2 is coming

Pontypool is a Perfect Film

Don't know where my narrative will land yet, so I'm casting the dumbest, widest net For sure: - archives - narratology and possible worlds - interface games ?: - northern Ontario history - history of human expression, prehistory to contemporary 🙄 - organic, astrophysical and geologic anomalies

listen, scott stapp says he's six feet from the edge and he thinks that six feet isn't that far down. but like, he's six feet from the EDGE. so he's like, unable to see what is down there. further, scott stapp isnt even six feet tall. he doesn't know how far that really is

Is this game design if it has goals (help these nervous creatures off the floor) and rules (physics)

You know when you code so much before you sleep, you wake up with the absolutely clarity of a perfectly formed bug fix list? Then you need to pee and forget the whole thing, never knowing if the bugs were based on the rules of this reality or another

Hey folks! I'm starting the hunt for September work now - happy to join you as an illustrator, do some vis dev for your next big project, or step into a bigger art direction role! Shares very appreciated. Check out my portfolio here to see if I'm a good fit: www.portablecity.net/shel-kahns-p...

There’s no chill way to say this so uh— I’m Aidan. I’m the voice of the main character in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Wishlist the game, and believe me when I say: They have such sights to show you.

It is non-binary day! I do not identify as non-binary, I identify as A Person, but non-binary (or agender) is the closest I can get to that on forms. It's my form-form.

thesis

We had to bring in a scene from a musical in for music class, and some older girls convinced me to go with "Acid Queen" from Tommy. My teacher lectured me after, which confused me because I had been watching it on repeat since early childhood and at 14 didn't see anything weird about it.

Ok I don't know if this is a generative storytelling game or just the beginning of one of those insane conspiracy boards

Yesterday @kurtrefling.bsky.social informed me Lies You'll Enjoy streamed one of my tiny games! Which reminded me I know how to make games that are not a giant unwieldy psychological treatise on the nature of reality. So I wrote a tiny solo paper game to help me make the big one!

It's been suggested that my game about a rat looking for a home is what motivated the city to do something about it www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

some of the comics yesterday really sucked at being terrible, shame on you #MakeATerribleComicDay2025

Apparently we’re supposed to be making a terrible comic today but I’ve just been plugging away on roughing out my Box Man comic which will, god willing, not be terrible some day. Here’s a peek at a rough page xoxo

Eyyy, it's #makeaterriblecomicday2025 over here! Just in under the wire!

Wrong hashtag? #makeaterriblecomicday2025 It's too small to see, but on the computer screen, I'm really mutilating node.js

Forgot it was #terriblecomicday until it was almost too late

Demons that tricked teenagers into dating them while secretly murdering their family and friends (Buffy season 2 left a big impression on me.) Prequel about their lives in previous centuries. Half spiral notebook, half floppy disk. Lost part of it to Melissa IIRC.
