Right now Break In 2 is the game of choice, but Dress to Impress, Grow a Garden, Brookhaven, Build a Boat, and Restaurant Tycoon 3 have all been played over the last month.

I play Roblox pretty much every evening with my daughter before bed. Have for a while now. I donโ€™t love Roblox, but it gives us something to do together and Iโ€™d rather be with her when she plays. It turns out Iโ€™ve put in a lot of hoursโ€ฆ

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose lifeโ€™s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking thatโ€™s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, Iโ€™d probably go insane

Call me crazy, but I donโ€™t think game studios should expect their roles to be โ€œonsiteโ€ anymore. Having run a large studio team, I understand the benefits, but you canโ€™t expect new hires to relocate in this mess. The market is too volatile, and the risks are too high for people and their families.

Sorry, but I'm not going to shut up until my country doesn't look like this anymore. This is not who we are. #resist

I am so sorry that you went through all of this. As the oldest of four children, in a family with an abusive step-father who used these books and teachings as a reason to break me, I feel your powerful words. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out. Your feelings here made me feel less alone.

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Canโ€™t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner โ€“ Iโ€™m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Todayโ€™s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrowโ€™s mโ€ฆ

This is really good. And sad. But also accurate. Good, sad, and accurate. Now back to my microwaved steakโ€ฆ

Yes, we were working on something called Project:Delorean.

If you can get donors to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build you a golden ballroom, it seems that if you were a better human, you could get donors to make sure that kids didnโ€™t starve, or even just make sure they had school supplies. Or that insulin was free.

A three panel comic, done in black ink. 

The first panel shows a geeky artist sitting at a desk, looking at his phone. The speech bubble says โ€œYou knowโ€ฆ Maybe Iโ€™ll post something fun to the internet today!โ€ 

The second panel shows a blast of light/energy ripping out of his phone directly into his face, with floating words saying โ€œOMG THE WORKD IS BURNING SO MUCH TERRIBLE SHIT OMGโ€ and his face appears to be melting.

The third panel shows the character sitting in the exact same place, except now his face has been replaced by a skull, and he looks a bit crispy. The speech bubble says โ€œYou know whatโ€ฆ I think Iโ€™m good.

Shouldn't it be bigger news that the U.S. President is straight lying to the American people? Not only about Medicaid and Medicare, but flatly about not increasing the Federal Deficit? Saying this will reduce it when it actually adds 4 trillion dollars is villain shit. Where is the press?

Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve posted anything fun. Iโ€™ve been heads down working hard on a new project as the world burns around meโ€ฆ But, here is a concept sketch from really early in the ideation phase. The story has shifted quite a bit so I can share. Canโ€™t wait to show you more soon! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿค”

What a time to be pitching a new game. The industry is falling apart, which is scary and daunting, and all of the expected things. But, it is also the best time to propose change. Not change for change's sake, or shiny false promises... but real change based on years of experience making stuff. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŽฎ

This may sound simple, but make sure to stay hydrated at all times. Dehydration is a HUGE trigger for me. I've gotten to a point that when I first feel ANY signs of a migraine, I pop ibuprofen and CHUG water (even if I am not thirsty), and it at least softens the blow.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.
