Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

Iโ€™ll be at GDC this year doing portfolio reviews and joining the new writersโ€™ Q&A panel!! Iโ€™m looking for more work and your next game needs a writer, so letโ€™s get coffee!

turns out the idea guys don't actually have any ideas, just a vision of themselves sitting atop a pile of success money as their adoring fans blow kisses and their detractors grovel at their feet

I had the opportunity to play this demo a month or so back & if there's any one word to describe it, it's "bonkers." If there's more than one word, it's "what the fuck is this game and why did I get so upset when the demo ended because I wanted to play more IMMEDIATELY"

Been a bit nervous about announcing this, but I was the Lead Writer on this week long game jam that turned into a YEAR LONG GAME JAM. ๐Ÿ˜… From many of the same freaks that brought you OnlyCans!

Date your guns! Meditate on the nature of isolation! Fight the deep state! Get divorced! Love a worm!

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

A lot of people talk about wanting Dems with the courage and anger to meet this moment, but Rep. @ramirez.house.gov is actually doing it.

Read this ๐Ÿ”ฅ interview I did with her Friday:

โ€ชDoctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

a photograph of a postcard book mockup. some game prompts can be seen, as can a watercolor painting of an eel. Part of the cover is visible; it features a collage and some portion of the eel painting.

secret late night announcement. I'm launching later this month, in collaboration with illustrator @supercoolspyclub.bsky.social, JANUARY : a postcard writing game for two people, set in a kaiju-filled alternate history, about distant but persistent friendships.

look what we found in the park
in the dark
We will take him home
We will call him Clark
He will live at our house
He will grow and grow
will our mother like this? we don't know.
