I started up FF16. My 3 year-old: Ooo! Daddy! What you playing? Me: Final Fantasy! My 3 year-old: Ooo! Can I watch you play!? Me: *slitting a guy's throat* Uhhhhhhhh no. #finalfantasy16 #finalfantasy #gamerdad

Quick update, friends! My wife has recovered, and I am scheduled for my next back procedure on Wednesday! Here's hoping things continue to look up!

Hey friends! I wanted to give a quick update! I know I've been a lot more quiet. Between current national events and my wife's health, my mental health has cratered, so I've been in survival mode. Accordingly, I haven't made anywhere near the progress on #projectenvy as I had hoped.

I had a minor procedure done yesterday. Apparently the medication made me so high I went on to ramble about crabs and how "everything will become crab." 🦀 I don't even know, guys. 🤣 #crab

My kid's new Pop-it is looking a little sus. #amongus #amogus #sus

Well friends, I finally have an update on my wife. She is back home with us, and she will temporarily be on a heart monitor so that the doctors can gather data to determine what exactly is going on. Here's hoping all goes well. I am just happy to have her home.

I made a thing. Enjoy. #smashbros #switch2 #nintendo

Asking for prayers and/or good vibes, depending on your disposition, friends. At the hospital with my wife. She is tachycardic and having bouts of apnea.

1000 followers!? NANI!? I am FLOORED, friends! Thank you so much for your support! Expect to see some of my concepts for #projectenvy in the coming days! Learning Godot is filled with ups and downs, but a blast! I can't wait to learn more and share results! #godot #indiegamedev

Highlight of the day: My daughter turned what could have been a really miserable situation for me into a hilarious one. Two women were arguing in the McDonald's parking lot, yelling obscenities at one another. My kid? She says, "Wow. Those ladies aren't very nice. They're naughty." I JUST-

It be like that

I reigned in the New Year by getting tempted into the graveyard shift by holiday pay. I'm exhausted, but it was worth it for my girls. Actual footage of me:

I was raised to live and let live

Saw this in the wild in one of my Marvel Rivals groups and had to share! #jeffthelandshark #marvelrivals

Apologies for being a bit more quiet these last few days, friends. Between my return to work and some fun family holiday adventures, I've been keeping busy! All is well, though! I continue to recover from my back procedure, and I continue to learn Godot!

A fire at a Tyson Foods plant in Camilla, Georgia, killed one person and severely burned others early Friday.

#Light ✨️ #Blessed #BeTheLight ✨️ #ChristmasEve ✨️

May this holiday season bring you peace and tranquility in these trying times. May those of you who need healing and rest find it. May you make many wonderful memories you can hold dear.

I keep up with my local mom and pop game shop, and saw these posted on their social media page! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME! #Zelda #GameCube #Nintendo #snes #supergameboy

Now that I'm on the mend, I was cleared to go back to work JUST in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so we did Christmas with the kids last night. The 3 year-old got a pirate island playset, and her face when she figured out how to work the cannon was PRICELESS! It went like:

I'm curious, friends- those of you who have been following my indie game dev journey, brief as it is, would you be interested in me sharing narrative concepts and rough drafts? #novicegamedev #indiegamedev

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn other women.

Never let the ultra wealthy try to tell you you're the problem. They know it's actually them.

We have seen it before actually, we call it World War 2 and the Holocaust.

oh this is a long post but it's so worth your time. my initial reaction was a bit kneejerk-- "not all cozy games are made the same!" (and they're not) but ultimately this is about seeking and demanding comfort as a consumer in the face of fascists that want the same-- minus you. some choice excerpts

We visited my mother's grave today. It was very sobering. Not a day goes by that feels normal since her passing. Cancer is a vile thing.

Applying this to my VM/programming language development hobby projects >_>

To many of us, video games are so much more than an entertaining hobby. They help us grow, learn and shape how we understand ourselves and the world. The @indiegameawards.gg event last night was a beautiful celebration of the impact games can have and of the people who make them 💜

ATTENTION INDIE DEVS! I'll be doing a live stream showing off a bunch of indie games on January 11 @ 5PM EST/10PM UTC. If you worked on a game in 2024 and have a Steam page with a (stream safe) trailer, reply with a link before the end of the year. lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Heyo! #pokemontcgpocket

The DOJ is accusing the biggest pharmacy chain in the US is of "unlawfully dispensing massive quantities of opioids ... to fuel its own profits." The suit alleges that CVS has knowingly filled dubious prescriptions for controlled substances for years. abcnews.go.com/US/cvs-knowi...

The new Pokemon TCG Pocket Eevee can be hilariously busted with enough luck. 20x heads until tails can be terrifying. I've taken 100+ from that little thing! #pokemontcgpocket #eevee #onefear

When someone believes a 70-year-old man with cancer is a better choice than a young, progressive woman, it speaks volumes about how we ended up with the incoming POTUS.
