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The third panel shows the character sitting in the exact same place, except now his face has been replaced by a skull, and he looks a bit crispy.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.

As an old man who loves ice cream, the real drama is when ice cream starts to not like YOU. Still, I persist.

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.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

That headline.

After. Outcry.

Think about it. A 4yr old girl needs medical care only available here, or she will die, and our government said... "Nah."

Rules, you say? Like, rules about sharing classified info? Rules about not being president to make yourself wealthy?

I guess itโ€™s just sexier to think that games are some creative geniusโ€™s dream that has spilled out into reality for you to play, vs many hard working people combining various abilities and dreams to defy odds and turn a flimsy idea into something that is real and functional and fun. ๐ŸŽฎ

This is every lunch conversation with game developers. โ€œOk, ok. What if it was a game about running an ice cream shop in the middle of a small town populated by whales, but the ice cream was actually emotions and the whales sang songs depending on what they ordered?!โ€

Also, knowing how our industry generally works, teams are going to be ground to bits as execs of various-sized studios force this model through the big machine and expect gold to come out of the pipe, thus destroying the magic particles that mysteriously formed and made it work in the first place.

I am so happy for this team, but we really have to stop taking these projects that successfully come together thanks to a million variables, and treat them as the new blueprint for $$$. As someone who's been doing this for a long time, I can tell you that accidents, timing, and luck play a big role.
