SO COOL!! I love that logo with the footprint as the E! The art is amazinggggg. Congrats, can't wait to hear more about it!

Were you diving into the Musicology Duck rabbit hole too, trying to figure out what's going on? 🤣

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A reminder that not so long ago we honored immigrants in the US, even by carving monuments like this one at Immigration Point, over the Golden Gate connecting the Pacific to SF Bay.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

A thread on how to do that 🧵

Black Friday is TOMORROW!

Here we come full circle to Union Station! It was on the train home that Downtown Las Palmas was first sparked.

This Thanksgiving I'm very grateful to Jason Tagmire and the @buttonshy.bsky.social crew for taking a chance on a first-time card game designer. Happy playing!

2 days!

I've started seeing people posting about my game after picking up copies at PAX Unplugged. It's a cool feeling!

When I took this pic at City Hall I reflected on the journey I'd taken through town that day, and the journey I've started as a game designer. Where will the road take me next?

This is so cool! Get in on this 25% discount of a super cool, super portable chess-like with solo mode before the crowd sale is over!

3 days to Downtown Las Palmas!

The turquoise terracotta, the art deco style, and the grand 4-sided clock make the Eastern Columbia Building one of the most breathtaking structures in downtown LA!

Are you ready for @buttonshy.bsky.social's Black Friday sale?

My first thought when making a solo mode for a chess-like game was "What's the point? How could you ever simulate a meaningful game of chess without simply doing chess puzzles?"

Then I had the idea to make it sort of like a top-down arcade shooter... no, stay with me... 😅

4 more days to Downtown Las Palmas!

I wanted a building that fit the shape of a wide card without any sky in it, but wasn't a boring box either. The NHM is one of my favorite museums ever! It isn't a perfect rectangle but was simple to adapt to this shape.

8 days to Downtown Las Palmas! (for real now)

The dragons of the Gateway Monument welcome you to Chinatown!

I had a card with a section of sky between 2 smaller buildings and wanted to pull different features from various shops and gardens, with the dragons as a central setpiece to set it all off.

Pax Unplugged is right around the corner!!

Looking back at all the IGNM coverage—I’m so proud and impressed at how much our community came together to promote these awesome indie works!

There’s a game for everyone in this lot!

Here’s a thread of all the incredible coverage of IGNM 2025: 🧵 🎲✂️
