Sipping a beer while listening to folky CanCon and updating a fleet of laptops before doing some thorough AV testing ahead of volunteering for a conference, I literally cannot be touched

Baby's first backwards long jump on OG hardware

new Monolord 😮‍💨😩

Prepare the Ground was so good but I absolutely bit off more than I could chew by trying to have a chill vacation with my partner, hang out with family a substantial amount, and see *a lot* of Toronto while attending a music festival

It was such an unexpected treat to play a friend's game at an arcade while visiting family in Toronto! It's a wonderful tribute to a game I love and have spent quite a lot of time grinding

Amenra at the Trinity-St. Paul's Church as part of Prepare The Ground in Toronto was devastating Truly worth the price of admission to the festival just for this set alone

I gave Alex Horne a task and he *hated* it

students are gone, time to close myself in the Game Center Library and fix things while blasting Crowbar

Why would they put the sticker right there

I know I'm in a bad mood bc I just looked at the 400+ records in my vinyl & CD collection, looking for something to decompress to, and said to my partner, "we could use less headassery and more fun records in our collection"

seeing Gelli Haha later tonight in Philly but just now walked past her in Reading Terminal Market!! My partner asked how I knew it was her and if you could believe it, it's because she was wearing head to toe bright red clothing

I can finally say this is real and is actually happening:

Oh yeah this is tomorrow! The last Lecture Series event of the semester before the big show in 3 weeks. Say hello in person or in Twitch chat

how I'm gonna wake up to my alarm at 5:30 tomorrow morning knowing I get to listen to a new My Wife's An Angel album on my commute

this entire Jungle x Reggae comp from Soul Jazz Records is such a gold mine youtu.be/rbZbGoB8-pw?...

did you know that we do classes? this summer find out whether GAMES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD in this 8-week seminar & speculative game design workshop class taught by @hatimb00.itch.io more info & apply here: hatim.tips/can-games-ch...

I fear a new fixation has struck this album is near perfect, I'm so in awe of every little decision in each song wendyeisenberg.bandcamp.com/album/wendy-...

went to a salvage store earlier today and their CD selection had several k.d. lang and Barenaked Ladies CDs available. I felt like a tracker touching the forest floor. Somewhere nearby a Canadian has fallen and left behind a loot drop

every time I walk thru Penn Station, I think to myself, "what goes on in Speonk?"

much like how the suffixes "-core" and "-gate" get thrown around in cases where they have no reason existing, I fear the word "slop" is now being applied to way too many things, thus diluting the meaning and becoming at risk of becoming "slop"

I haven't touched LSDJ in literal years but I still listen to some songs and think "this would make for a sick chiptune cover" youtu.be/9ez6o-wiDn8?...

I'm at the chapters (multiple, consecutive) of Moby Dick where Ishmael is just complaining that there's no good whale fanart in the world

this was the original Pokopia

yet again up late thinking about Gordon, the debut album by Scarborough, Ontario band Barenaked Ladies specifically thinking about how this is the song they chose next in the album track order after their (Canadian) radio hit ballad about gender roles youtu.be/APsdVgOswzc?...

DRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOP OUUUUUUUUUUUT OF LIIIIIIFE WITH BOOOOOOOOOOOOONG IIIIIIIIIIIIN HAAAAAAAAAAAND

The NYU Game Center would like to extend huge congrats to members of our community for their wins & nominations at the IGF and GDCA Awards this week at GDC! Including: Baby Steps - Excellence in Audio Titanium Court - Excellence in Design, Seumas McNally Grand Prize Consume Me - Social Impact Award

"doom metal falling block game" is my sleeper cell activation phrase this game had me in a chokehold for all of MAGFest this year and you better believe I'm goin out of my way to make it to this and somehow still get back to Philly to sleep in my own bed

this was an obvious slam dunk for me, and I'm *so* late to it, but Lumines Arise is an absolute delight with the little time I had this weekend to sit down and play a game, I boot it up thinking I'd play a few Journey Mode stages, and ended up finishing the entire thing in one sitting

at a bar that's playing the World Baseball Classic (??? did not know this existed). Right now it's Great Britain vs. USA. Britain's pitcher has a surprisingly American name - Miles Langhorne. But then a fella by the name of GUNNAR HENDERSON went up to bat for the US

My Wife's An Angel!!!!!!

INTRODUCING COMPUTER WORLDS A showcase of strange & distinctive games created by independent developers - premiering next week on noclip_2 SAVE THE DATE MARCH 12th - 1PM ET / 10AM PT WATCH & PLEASE SHARE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYRp...

running a successful event feels a lot like shoveling snow always kinda pretty to stand around in the middle of it, always relieved & satisfied when it's over, always know I gotta do it again very soon, and it's always easier when you have help. And my back always hurts after.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie made me so homesick I just dumped $190 CAD into a 3 day pass for a metal festival in Toronto this summer Very excited for my first Prepare the Ground

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie made me miss Toronto real bad

tonight I'm going to a "doors at 8, show at 9" show with 3 bands on the bill and still have to be up at 5:30 to get to work tomorrow why do I do this

Moby Dick is less about the hunting of a whale than it is about Ishmael info dumping on his special interest, which is whales every other chapter begins like "before I can continue this tale, it's imperative that you know how fucking rad a whale's migratory pattern is, and how smart whalers are"

it's a real fun time to be a regular Amtrak customer atm All these voicemails are cancelled trains. The one at 6:30am this morning was them saying "your train is gonna be really packed, you should consider booking a different one 🥺" which was maybe the most misleading Amtrak alert I've ever gotten

just saw Wuthering Heights and I am, once again, begging people to listen to Anna von Hauswolff youtu.be/r0eeZ2kDZf8?...

new My Wife's An Angel album announcement my week is made knifehitscollective.bandcamp.com/album/keep-h...

Paper Mario for N64 was released on this day in North America, 25 years ago (2001) #retro #art #gaming #PaperMario

trying to stick to an arbitrary "1 book, 1 movie, 1 game" a month goal, and very foolishly chose Moby Dick as my book on this, the shortest month of the year, because it was the only thing readily available on my e-reader and I need a break from James Bond books lmao chat, can I do it??

I don't even have a good joke about Broken Social Scene and Metric both dropping new songs AND a tour announcement with Stars all on the same day this is like the Postal Service "Give Up" / Death Cab "Transatlanticism" tour but just for Canadians

I am going to a metal show tonight to see Knoll and Agriculture and I'm thankful to let out energy there in lieu of saying something here that will get me in trouble Apropos of nothing I've been listening to more Thou than usual youtu.be/CB2u26WK0EA?...

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE. 518-474-8390. This is important.

if I don't get thrown around at a My Wife's An Angel show sometime in the very imminent future I'm gonna lose it dude
