Milestone update: my videogame is now 3/7 of the way complete! Lots of new features this time: sounds, inventory, and new factions. Time to get more playtester feedback, then do another round of refinement.

I’ve never played a Plaid Hat game I haven’t enjoyed. Their new kickstarter is live!

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

Everyone whose livelihoods they want to destroy understands, painfully, the reality of income and outgoings, costs and profits, money coming in and money going out. All of us, in the real world, and they look down on us. I can’t wait for the bill to land for these arseholes. Destroy them back.

Just finished Mina the Hollower and thought it was great. If you enjoyed top down classic Zelda games, this is for you! * Disclaimer, it can be punishing. I had to turn off fall damage to avoid pulling out my hair. 🤣

Asking children aged 9 what they think they'll be like when they're 40.

Check out the new campaign page for The Monolith. We've got a number of tidbits for you, brief rules explainers so you have a better idea of how it works, and some pics. We'll be adding more on soon. #TheMonolith #plaidhatgames #kickstarter

now that's a fucking Space X IPO headline

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

Just had an idea for a t-shirt that says: “I’ll be fine to death”

I watched the first episode last night and completely agree with Mr. King.

Happy Pride month friends! Shine bright and let your colors fly.

Starting to add sound FX and other important features to my video game.

Widows Bay episodes are so varied and chaotic that you’d think I’d get whiplash, but no, I’m loving it.

Cleaned up 248 error messages (mostly warnings) from my videogame today as I prep for my next playtest. Its a constant balancing act between adding new features, squashing bugs, and quality of life improvements.

It’s been years since I backed the Mina the Hollower kickstarter campaign, and just received my download code! The demo was great, reviews have been stellar, and my body is ready. @yachtclubgames.bsky.social

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

My friends at Earthborne games just launched their new kickstarter and it looks gorgeous!

$2.5 trillion well spent.

Parents who disown their kids for being gay or trans are every bit as awful as parents who beat their children. It's abuse.

So Colbert took over a small public access show and the results were delightful. I can’t wait to see his next unexpected act. youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?...

I am shocked and honored to learn that Cozy Stickerville has been nominated for the most prestigious board game award in the world: the Spiel de Jahres. Thank you everyone for your love and support of this game!

Vaccines are good, period.

I miss the days when AI art was hilariously bad. Like I'd say "Danny Devito as a Muppet" and I'd get an image of an old sock with 3 eye holes cut out of it. I'd laugh and laugh. Nowadays, AI art just looks like someone hollowed out a human with a chainsaw. Oh, and it's shitty in 999 other ways

One of the hidden treasures of a good book is that it requires TIME. Each day spent with a book gives you time to reflect on it, and the story burrows its way into you consciousness. I’m about halfway through The Moutain in the Sea, and I already know it’s going to be one of my top books of 2026.

Spent the last 2 days building a Godot plugin so I can more easily make dialog trees for my video game. Bugs finally squashed, and first example working! Now I can pump out content like mad!

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

I’m running my first playtest of my new video game tonight. It’s just a vertical slice of the first 11 missions, but I’ve been having a blast with it. Fingers crossed other people enjoy it as well!

This game has a day left on Kickstarter and I'm so damn excited about it. I always love the way @bradyjsadler.bsky.social and @adambsadler.bsky.social abstract combat into puzzly tactical decisions. www.kickstarter.com/projects/twi...

Unpub needs more tabletop game mentors! Unpub needs you! Mentor applications deadline extended

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

I don’t know how to express this more clearly Every time you do a war I’m against it I’m against it in all forms I’m against from All sides I’m against the careless loss of life

I know this and you know this and we all know this but sometimes you gotta say the obvious thing out loud (so to speak) just so you don’t feel alone or crazy: our president is a deeply unwell and utterly vile man who shouldn’t be in charge of driving a golf cart much less the free world.

So. I don’t have a job anymore. Company just did layoffs yesterday. I have all kinds of experience, but would prefer to be in Ops land. I have experience in bash, regex, dns, networking, all kinds of monitoring platforms, AWS, terraform, docker…

Hit a big milestone in my video game prototype. First mission works start to finish, looks decent, and is bug free! Most importantly, it includes all the groundwork to add more content.

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

I know you’ve been waiting for this: my new book is FINALLY on Amazon. Go forth and spread the good news! (If you can’t find it, search for Corey Konieczka.) a.co/d/0avoZOWa

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility day! May you all live a happy life, free from prejudice and persecution. You are perfect just the way you are.

Programming video games is like crack for my obsessive brain. Every feature is a little puzzle to solve and gives me a little dopamine hit.

this is why it's vital to loudly and publicly support trans women and push back against these narratives. it is imperative that we not let the loudest voice be this stupid cunt

Bold fuckin statement buddy, pretty sure one of the biggest game launches this year was made in Godot and has mspaint hand drawn placeholders. I'm sure as shit not putting any AI slop in my game, and most indies I know/follow aren't either, or I wouldn't be following them. Man up and suck farts.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

I don’t know what to say anymore. Tearful this morning after reading what the U.S. has done to the sick and ill in Cuba: “Late last night, a report came in that patients on ventilators at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital have died.” Trump is running an imperialist necropolitical regime.

Voting should be free. The SAVE Act is a tax and makes it costly. Married women must buy birth certificates at $15-$50, passports at $165, or citizenship papers at $550 just to register. This financial barrier targets 69 million American women directly. #NoPayToVoteSaveAct
