I collected the original paintings from my parrotfish gallery and put them in a scrapbook as a gift for the guests and crew of the Emperor Explorer dive boat. I hope they will inspire others to protect our reefs and their inhabitants. #scieart #marinelife #coralreef

Put together a playlist for assembling my retro radio Lego set of 1970s soft rock A.M. radio hits. Smooth, soulful lyrics that cover a diverse range of topics such as:

- Loving my lady
- Apologizing to my lady
- Missing my lady who left me because of the thing I tried to apologize for
- Boat

Terrarium I put together in a 4 inch box. We’ll see how it does!

they gotta be trolling me

It’s those podcaster genes! XD

I’m having the same thought. In my mind she’s still a tiny baby burrito in a stroller!

@epistellar.bsky.social Hey there! You wanted a ping when my new game came out? It's out! www.fictionfactorygames.com/laughtrack

Oof, I sympathize! You and your kiddo are both having a hard day. I promise, this too shall pass, and you will be relieved.

You know when your GM brings you to a town and you get to meet some NPCs that you know have to have an interesting backstory? Or go to a shop and think "If only this was real"? Or want to just hand something to your players to read and let them decide where to go next? We gotchu!

This is my general update on where I've been and where I want to go. If you're into that kind of thing, give it a read!

Free post, too. Don't even have to subscribe to read!

(but you'd be a lot cooler if your did)

About 2/3 of a game boy.

Mustered up enough energy for one more bag. I swear that makes Lego sound like cocaine, but let's be honest; cocaine is probably cheaper.

Even more circuit boards buried in it, and neat tricks to make the D-pad and buttons squishy. Almost wish it came with educational material about each component.

Squishy? Neat!

happy new year from the west coast. my 2026 resolution feels both very small and yet large: I intend to make at least one person’s year easier than it would have been without me.

a dungeon game by Chris Bissette the second edition of a dragon game

A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh)

Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).

got to start my year off hiking again for the first time since…before long covid, i think? which also made this my first solo hike since before I got Bear. missing him in every cold and beautiful day. may your own year start with love and movement and promise and clarity as well!

Shot of Juno on a retro TV set. Juno is a cartoon girl with curly brown hair, glasses, a yellow sweater vest over a purple blouse, and a purple skirt.

Juno in a state of panic, arms flailing around as she talks to other cast members, Cat and Daniel. Juno says: Why does it have to be two people?! If we're all communicating and consenting, we can be a thruple!

Juno alone under a spotlight, saying: Hey, kids. We have a lot of fun here on Juno's World, but you know what's not fun at all? Illegal street drugs.

Juno looking sad. A menu interface pops up reading "Ratings time!". Your two choices are "Try to endure the miserable years ahead, as friends" or "Resist and push back against the ones trying to pull them apart."

New year, new game coming up fast! Laugh Track releases Jan 13. It's a perfectly normal sitcom where nothing weird happens! store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

Meet Juno! She's a bundle of sunshine and cheer. And crippling anxiety. But remember, our Health Primarch says fresh air cures that!

The gelatinous cube mini was far too quick and easy to draw.
Better spend HOURS putting a whole-ass skeleton in there! 😫

"Hey Fiction Factory Games, why are all your new games releasing for free?"

- so you can financially support other indies too
- because this is how I want to spend my retirement
- our community helps fund it
- why the hell not, it's fun
- fuck capitalism and competition

Laugh Track arrives Jan 13.

The sea, she is a mystery.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.
