I think I have lost the ability to make viral posts. Maybe I barely had it. Probably good for me, tbh. Should focus on writing blogs hardly anyone reads instead.

i think about this thread from @mightyatom.bsky.social basically ten times a day. sketchbook is toilet.

god fucking damnit

I regret to inform7 you ma'am but your son is dead. Your son is found in the Grey Hallway. The description of your son is "a poor soul who died in these hallowed halls." The son is wearing a backpack. The backpack is openable and closed.

astonishing. deeply beautiful art

well I've also posted my Adelaide Writers' Week opinions. It's my home festival and I love it, and I was among the many many writers who withdrew, and I know this whole thing has been such a mess but also, I am hopeful for 2027's event and so surprised by that hope buttondown.com/holly/archiv...

not the point, i understand, but it is worth mentioning that making schools "nut free zones" generally increased the number of kids with severe nut allergies

thinking about how when you get a kidney transplant, they don't take out any of the old kidneys. they just shove another one in there as well.

Stevan Dohanos’ cover to The Saturday Evening Post of January 5th 1946, a painting based on sketches Dohanos made in 1945 during a visit backstage to a production of Bizet’s Carmen in New York’s Metropolitan Opera House.

i wrote a spec for fetching 88x31 buttons for making a little link gallery. not entirely sure why. i blame @iznaut.com. blog.vbuckenham.com/the-88x31-bu...

We will soon be announcing the Official Release date for Panthalassa! We recently hit Alpha and are currently hard at work to release it. Stay tuned and wishlist Panthalassa if you haven't already! #indiegame #indiedev

ah, this came out! a great list of the most inspirational videogames, as nominated by 167 game designers (including me) polarisgamedesign.com/the-polaris-...

seems bad!

on the one hand, £8 is not really £5. it's a different (larger) thing. but on the other... £5.94 *is* basically £3.71. so this does still work.

why *is* crime going down? Sadiq Khan is understandably boasting about his policies here, but, like... my impression is violent crime has dropped in most major western cities. so it's not something special about the policies in London. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

IGF nominations are out! I did a bit of judging this year, and I can now reveal that the game I kept yelling about on here but couldn't actually name or say anything useful about... was Titanium Court by @apthomson.bsky.social. it's so good y'all. www.gamedeveloper.com/production/b...
