I have removed the Torment Nexus from my phone.

I have to imagine that the person who was tasked with engineering the crushed ice dispenser for refrigerator hated their job.

“Oh, you want crushed ice, do you? How about you have to pick half of it up off the floor!”

That’s Bristol, baby

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

Oh I just looked at my
Phone for the first time in 9 hours.

It’s like one travesty per hour, eh?

I didn’t know you were an EarthBound-head. That game is a part of my origin story.

Just received my first spam call from someone claiming to be from Immigration services about a “petition”

Our neighbors we share a wall with just had a piano delivered. I guess we'll find out how thick this concrete is.

I really just want old iPhone games on the Playdate.

Give me Triple Town. Give me Sword & Poker. Give me Drop 7.

Flat, bubbly promotional poster with a yellow background and green accents. "2025 Playdate Community Augustravaganza! Over 60 games on sale, across all genres and styles! Runs from August 1st to August 7th, pacific time." There's a link to the catalog sale page, and a variety of Playdate game thumbnails lining the bottom of the frame.

the second installment of the playdate community sale, augustravaganza 2025, is here!! over 60 titles, on sale all week!

head to play.date/games/tags/o... to see what's on sale — something from your wishlist? something you've never even heard of? — and pick up some new games to ring out the summer!

I really do like the Kerrison books. You may also be interested in Berger’s Storytelling for New Technologies and Platforms

Just found the show notes document for the first episode
@jford.bsky.social and I ever recorded of the Games Club Podcast at the University of Virginia.

That was nearly two decades ago...

Krakens, bubbles, and laser beams! You never know what you're going to find in the wacky dungeons of Don't Die, Collect Loot

Thought I ordered two six-packs of pencils at $1.69 each.

What I did instead was order two boxes of six packs of 18 pencils at $16.99 each. I now have 216 pencils.

I keep thinking about the review that encouraged visitors to squabble up

How do people without cars do home improvement projects without the necessary four trips to Home Depot in a week?

Going to try ditching Amazon Prime in favor of Walmart+ for a while.

My launch Switch is finally experiencing stick drift. Mario Odyssey has become unplayable.

Who needs to visit the show floor when you’ve got this.

A lot of what has guided my career choices is remember that my dad was forced to work a job he hated until his dying day because he couldn't leave because he wouldn't be able to get insurance for his cancer treatments.

When I was 24, I inherited $20,000.

But I had nobody to advise me on what I should do with it. So it just sat in a 0.5% evening savings account for over a decade.

I wish somebody had told me about index funds.

Too bad that I believed every minimalist blogger and youtuber who convinced me that getting rid of my CDs would reduce my stress.

Who at Apple decided that it was a good idea to put "Eject Disk" next to "Erase Disk" in the right-click menu?

gotta get you to magfest and find a gamer bro

Pacing also factors into my favorite @kasavin.bsky.social design quote: "All games are played to the point at which the player loses interest. An ending is just an invitation for the player to lose interest at what’s likely an appropriate time."

If I create anything akin to a game design document it's likely just a timeline of how long I want the player to be doing specific things.

This reminds me of one of a fundamental game design considerations I've internalized from @mammonmachine.bsky.social: "Nobody Cares About It But It’s The Only Thing That Matters: Pacing (And Level Design in JPRGs)"

DAVE!!!

World, please allow me to introduce you to the newest original game from my favorite video game maker of all time: Drag x Drive! So grateful to the team at Nintendo for having me back to work on this for them 🤩
