I would pay any amount (not to exceed four dollars and ninety-nine cents) for a bag of just the orange trader joe's scandinavian swimmers

ground's feeling spicy this morning

today is a year of being solo! still trucking along, longer blog post this week.

yes generally that's what they are

out here making pro moves. pro stands for Pickled Red Onion

on one hand I travel with a deranged variety of stuff in my kit but on the other hand I was sweltering in a plane seat remembered I had a tiny USB fan in my bag and plugged it into the seat back charge point and it feels like heaven so that's one point for pack rats

Starting soon! Setting up in the Unpub playtesting area.

Excited to finally say more than just "making a board game"! It's called Dungeon Deck and I'm very excited about it. 20min.co/dungeondeck

At PAX East? Come playtest my in-development board game tomorrow at 10:30 in the Tabletop Playtesting area!! Games take about 20 mins. Will be doing informal playtests the rest of the event as well.

thought I was maybe coming down with food poisoning then remembered I did leg lifts for maybe the first time in years yesterday

D&D campaign wrapped tonight after 13 months, ended with us sailing onward while Orinoco Flow played

Heading to PAX East this week! Running playtests of my in-development board game 👀

only valid use of AR glasses is going to the store and seeing a giant red number over the mustards telling you how many jars you have in the back of the fridge

Really genuinely loving the new CodePen editor experience! Missed a glitch-like tabbed browser code editor. Just need to figure out how to change "accept suggestion" from Enter to Tab (or change my muscle memory!)

made a little font in Playdate Caps inspired by the TI-83 font, but with a little flair. Calling it "TI Fighter"

This incredible detail from the wikipedia page on "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"

there's a character in my head named Funyun James, he's a guy who love funyuns. He only exists so I can sing "welcome to the jungle/ we got Funyun James". A bleak existence

finally a business card I'll have on me

Update: went to the @thepeepsdiscord.bsky.social meetup and had a lovely time and met folks 💜

you let slip your hounds of war? a real alpha could control those dogs

Having a weirdly hard time making social connections at GDC. Haven't bumped into anyone I know and have struggled to plug into groups. I think I'm just getting in my head about it but I could use a buddy!

packing for GDC day 2 I fumbled and spilled a bag of plastic gems everywhere, and for a fleeting moment understood what it's like to be sonic the hedgehog

wandering around GDC like a lost and confused fawn

Gonna be commuting up to SF this week for GDC- would love to meet up with mutuals or followers who are in town!

absolutely losing it at my local mexican market using the Rent font for their Lent mailer

finally tucking in to this, so excited

gonna stream some gamedev in a few!

tech people “use a controversial tool and find some value in it without having to stage a weird off-putting self-reassuring philosophical public defense campaign about it” challenge

nerd snipe of the week: trying to use a basic genetic algorithm to find a "minimally adjacent" dithering matrix

I feel like this pixel art feels very Nintendo DS coded. maybe GBA?

some people cut their bangs,,, others start a new stardew save

power's out for scheduled maintenance which is annoying BUT gives me a chance to try running essential stuff off my ev battery! (ioniq 5 v2l mode)

my very talented pal Kirby made a whole ding dang EP and it rocks and rips clearcoatav.bandcamp.com/album/hiding...

I'm sure the block layoffs have nothing to do with cutting all their failed crypto/web3 efforts and dressing it up in an efficiency and future-forward story!

The balancing on the email mechanic is completely fucked. You're meant to reply to emails, but when you do so, you're punished by almost immediately getting another email in response which then needs to be replied to. The player is disincentivized from engaging with the core gameplay loop.

Have said it before and will say it again: No one will ever convince me that a machine or artificial system deserves more rights and dignity than the human with the least. If your project is convincing me of the worth of the former, better out your resources into improving that of the latter.

as a original backer of Dark Sky and big ol weather nerd this pleases me to no end

sometimes I discover in the morning that an airpod is not recharged despite being in its little bed all night, and I'm like we are not so different you and I
