Just a few more days to grab some! Help Brian clear out his shelves. 😄

If it was inevitable, they wouldn't work so hard to convince you.

This special was fantastic. Hank is fantastic. Dropout is fantastic. ✨

Oh, I love this…!

Last couple days of the winter shop sale, if you wanted to grab any gifts at the sale prices! Reminder: We’re closing the shop for the year December 1st. We’re also shipping orders 4 days a week until then as well. ❄️🎄 www.etsy.com/ca/shop/kuku...

Sigh. The way people won’t accept that I’m protecting myself, but the instant I mention “two immunocompromised parents”, they back off. 🫠 And why I have to justify it at all is so dumb.

I’m distraught. @bterrormisu.bsky.social jokingly suggested I make black licorice rice krispies treats for Halloween, knowing full well that I HATE licorice. I took the challenge and made my typical brown butter version with aniseeds (instead of black sesame) and goddamnit, they’re delicious. 😒

Gourd ghost! My bestie transformed one of her mother’s homegrown gourds into a perfectly spoopy Halloween decoration. 💚💜🤍🖤

Happy Hallowmas to all who observe

This little bubble-buddy was my act of joyful resistance at our local No Kings today. Cars honking and driving through curtains of tiny iridescent bubbles helped make me feel less alone.

Super happy to back this Kickstarter for ✨STARFRIENDS✨! Look at those ‘lil guys. ☺️

Holy moly, @shinyplasticbag.bsky.social absolutely made my day with this XOXO-related news. I must make a pilgrimage to the big DELICIOUS BURGER with my mini version! (Miss you terribly, #xoxofest.)

Happy thing of the day: tonkatsu sauce as a glaze on crispy air-fried brussels sprouts. (We’re a Bulldog brand household.)

It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Hang out with all the bug frands!!! 🐛🐜🐞

being a game dev is knowing sometimes 10/10 is too much but 11/10 is just right

THEY ARE DOING SANCTUARY MOON THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Today’s the day for the first ever Game Trailer Microtalks panel at GDC! It’s at 1:30p in West Hall room 3001 9 talks about a different facet of making game trailers from producing, to capture, to VR, hacking together solutions when devs are too busy to fix bugs, and more!

Made a custom 3D printed gachapon machine to match the in-game one from @bugaboopocket.bsky.social for today’s @dayofthedevs.org event! To use the machine you had to insert a special coin and each capsule was filled with a bug fact and a holographic bug sticker. 🪲✨

Late night, last minute prep for Day of the Devs. Elytra Games earrings in colors that will match all our outfits tomorrow. (The purple + pearl is mine!)

Oh hey, I’ll be there tomorrow with @bterrormisu.bsky.social, @sarahyu.bsky.social, and all of their bug frands in @bugaboopocket.bsky.social!

I definitely share Mister Pod’s excitement. 🤩 This adorable and quirky game finally has a launch date, and it’s soon! store.steampowered.com/app/1985740/...

It’s happeningggggg!!! 🐛✨

Sassy Peach! 🥰

Focusing on happy things in my life right now, like how excited I am for this lil’ indie game about bug frands to come out. 🥰

Reminds me a bit of Erin Kissane's fantastic talk at XOXO about the Covid Tracking Project, particularly the realization that volunteers should not be responsible for something like this yet they're the only ones doing it.

Happy holidays…? 🫠

Oh, you know, only starting this project 7 years late, with a week to go. 🫣 But let’s see what I can do!

GUYS I FOUND HIM

I’ve been so excited for new music from Obfusc! Wasted Utopia came out today and it is, as expected, a gorgeous soundscape that brings comfort and inspiration to my brain. obfusc.bandcamp.com/album/wasted...

There are hundreds of short stories in this thread about how a face to face encounter with art deeply affected people. We humans talk to each other through time, something a machine approximation will never approach.

One of my favorite humans tells the very best stories. ✨

If my DELICIOUS BURGER posts make absolutely no sense to you, that makes me happy because it means I can introduce you to @cabel.panic.com’s #xoxofest talk! May it bring you as much joy as it did me. ❤️ xoxofest.com/2024/videos/...

@cabel.panic.com’s brilliant and bittersweet talk from #xoxofest has been rattling around my brain. I’m so thankful he shared Wes Cook with all of us! Unable to make the pilgrimage to Centralia, WA to visit the DELICIOUS BURGER mural in-person, I made a mini version to pay homage at home.

Very excited for a video of a certain talk to be released later today! It inspired me out of a long standing creative funk that I’m thankful to have shaken off. Few final touches to do tomorrow morning, then I’m off to grab some fries for a photo shoot. 🍟✨ #xoxofest

Back on my stupidly-high-effort-physical-shitpost game. 😅 This is just the placement jig, the rest is even more ridiculous.
