Ahhhh I wish I could watch this specific game!

She's done! I planned to put the red foil on a black background, but realized there wouldn't be enough contrast to read the title, so white it is. The foiling came out so good, I don't think I'll ever shut up about it! This is the first box I've designed from scratch and I learned a lot making it!

I would have thought "mantasy" meant fantasy books with non-toxic male characters and BOY was I wrong

"Then from the very first page you realize that the novel you are holding has nothing to do with the one you were reading yesterday." -Italo Calvino, If On a Winter's Night a Traveler This book is *such* a pleasure to read, not despite the obscured framing, but because of it. It's rewiring my brain

My response to my coworker telling me to smile, after he made an annoyingly unclear request: I don't know what to tell you, Dave, this is just what I look like.

I need help deciding on a cover for my rebox of For the Queen! This is what the box looks like so far:

If anybody knows where to find a copy of "Companion's Tale" by Laura Simpson, even in not perfect condition, I'd be very interested. If you know of stores who still have copies, please send me the link. I found the PDF version on @ipr.bsky.social but I would really love a physical copy. TIA!

I started reading If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino and it's such a pleasure to read that I know I'm going to have a less good time with whatever I read after it.

Watching the Artemis II launch and thinking about what humanity is capable of 💖

One of my favorite things about Terry Pratchett's books is that they can be read at any age, and you will see something different in them every time.

This is an odd book that I finished in 13 hours and will be thinking about for a long time! www.harpercollins.com/products/str...

If you are at PaxEast this weekend, @sidequestbooks.bsky.social has the last dozen print copies of my goose ttrpg where players who break the rules get honked at!

This morning I am listening to a single song on repeat (Au Pays du Cocaine by Geese) and repeating my mantra (after next month, I won't be so busy).

I've got no juice in the tank, but I'm really proud of the parenting I've been doing lately. It's hard to be a kid in general, much less in these Unprecedented Times. It's also hard to be learning how to regulate and feel my own emotions as my kid is looking to me to teach him.

Juliana Stratton!!! I woke up to more snow, but also the defeat of a crypto bro, and the snow will melt.

I can't make it this year, but chipped in anyway because GoPlay is a rad con with awesome attendees

You can't tell from the crowdfund page, but I'm writing an underground newspaper the government can't seem to get rid of (where is it printed? Nobody knows), a radical craft circle slash community aid org (inspired by Meg Baker), and some suspiciously well informed old ladies with unusual skills.

Second box of the year is complete! This was a kit I modified to add a hidden compartment and magnets to hold the spine closed. I also added book cloth on the corners of the covers, since I hadn't done that before. Next up is my first project I'm designing from scratch!

Backers commenting on a crowdfund with "has this started shipping yet" instead of simply reading the latest update that includes that info go on my List.

There is a lot of bad in the world these days, but sometimes I get to read sentences like this one by @jmstar.bsky.social and I am reminded that there are still good things in this world.

I'd been tempted to get the print edition since they announced it, but this finally got me.

This ep of Secrets of the Dead about Mary Stuart has me thinking about how to make a game with letterlocking (again lol). www.pbs.org/video/cracki... (PBS Passport is ~$60/year and very worth it, imho)

Pitch for a stretch goal is submitted! I've no idea if they'll like any of my ideas, but I had a fun time cooking 'em up!

Editing goal for this weekend was page 92, but I finished page 111 *and* I did my chapter test for architecture history class. Tomorrow I need to write a pitch for a stretch goal that I feel pretty shaky on, but hopefully I'll get some due date inspiration.

Is there a word for the reverse of innovation, like, the realization that this problem was solved with simpler tools, technology or materials, possibly a long time ago?

I finished playing Syberia: The World Before, and I think the puzzles and game play were kinda mid, but the story captivated me anyway! Wild to continue with a character I met 24 years ago!

It's very good! I got to playtest it with Misha B. last year!

Got through page 53 on editing tonight (goal was 46)!

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Oh dang, I could go to this!

My goose game is in this very good bundle supporting a very good cause! HONK

Tool box is done! I'm glad I ran out of the white paper, since the black & metallic print looks great on the covers!

This has been an absolute delight.

I'm getting into the box making corner of book arts and I'm nearly done with a tool box! (Gotta go to the art supply store tomorrow, since I didn't buy the extra fancy paper- lesson learned!)

I'm midway through this and having a good time with it, but I can feel plot lurking behind me and I suspect it's gonna be a gut punch (affectionate)!

I'm happy to announce that I've finally ordered a record player after a year of collecting records without a method to actually play them. My collection so far: Scavengers Reign OST Untitled Goose Game OST Stray OST Frieren OST Pictures at an Exhibition Russian choir thrift find

My day job is rarely actively frustrating, but today feels like I'm the only grown up in a room full of (adult) toddlers and just once I would like to be able to have a tantrum while someone else cleans up the mess I didn't make.

I feel like I know some folks who would be very excited about this! (I'm not qualified, but would be tempted to apply anyway if I lived in the required area)

I just read Bog Queen by Anna North and I really enjoyed it! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Contact by Carl Sagan It's not necessarily my all time favorite book, but it's easily the most sacred to me.

If you go to bed before midnight on December 31st, you don't have to remember the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne 😎

Accomplishments are great, but 2025 was the year I got a laminator.

"You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider."

AI cannot make art that changes the way I see the world, so I'm just not interested in whatever it can do (other than guzzle water and electricity and give rich people another way to hoard money)

My current proofreading project has tipped me over 1.5 million words of game text I've been paid to read!

I went back to the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium for my birthday to meet their new Giant Pacific octopus and she was initially a bit shy, but came over after she got her shrimps and it was *amazing*!

I forgot to get cake for my birthday yesterday, so I made @smittenkitchen.bsky.social's Gingerbread Snacking Cake today! I don't know that I mixed the flour enough (you can see little lighter flecks on the top), but it's still very tasty!

It's plurbin time!

If "good ideas" = low risk/high return investment projects, maybe we are. But "investors are running out of ideas they are willing to tolerate risk for" is a headline no one would talk about- I yawned just writing it.

I cannot nuke copilot from orbit off my work computer because of permissions and it's creating a hostile work environment.
