Rook is an interesting concept, and is well designed, but it is clearly a less fun option IMO. Worth giving it a go though!

Having played a little bit solo, it is fun. But it is definitely something you should be playing with a full squad. Doesn't feel super solo friendly, despite having an entire build designed around it.

Took a break from work, and decided to spend it like this instead of doom-scrolling.

You don't really grasp just how fragile this design is until you build a model and it has to deal with the realities of gravity. If I look at this thing wrong the saucer and nacelles fall off...

I still love it.

Unless that job is located somewhere where $10 can buy you a week's worth of food, that ain't gonna fly...

Between working on learning how to hand paint pixel art textures, and checking out all the awesome demos released as part of Steam Next Fest, I'm in quite the game development mood...

🚨Shutter Story's Kickstarter campaign is LIVE NOW! 🚨

It's a horror game where you examine a family's photo album for signs of the paranormal.

Reposts hugely appreciated 🙏❤️ Kickstarter link below!

It's LeVar Burton's birthday. Read a book.

Just not good.

That is indeed true, but this movie tries to hard to BE the game it's an adaptation of.

Nearly all of the mechanics are represented here, in their entirety. For example, there is an extended sequence where we watch her scour the mortuary for the sigils. During which, basically nothing happens.

As someone who absolutely adores the game, I really wanted to like this movie. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be revisiting it.

At least the game is still there for me to enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, there were some high points. The Mortuary itself felt well realized and sufficiently spooky, and Willa Holland did the best she could with what she was given.

The problem is, she wasn't given anything all that appealing.

The movie insists on sticking to the game's mechanics so closely (while at-best haphazardly incorporating the lore of the game) that it felt less like a proper narrative experience, and more like watching the most un-fun let's play of the game imaginable.

When video games get adapted into film badly, fans often argue that it's because they didn't stick close enough to the source material.

The Mortuary Assistant's movie adaptation is a prime example of the opposite being true.

Trump's approval ratings are low so... they're going to stop reporting his approval rating.

Can't make this complict shit up any more.

Very nicely done!

Got a little announcement!! 🚨

I'm doing a Kickstarter for Shutter Story later this month!! :)

Link below if you want to stay updated 👇and thank you for all the support so far!

You know the old adage, all work and no play and all that.

Sometimes hard to remember that when part of the work is playing, but it is different.

Just got out of seeing it myself a little bit ago. Definitely recommend it as well!

Same.

I am a one knife and a spoon kind of guy. Using a knife for jelly just isn't optimal (I also have been informed in the past that I use way too much jelly, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.)

As a life-long Trek fan, I'm past amused and now just tired haha

Welcome to every time a new Star Trek show comes out!

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

I got the chance to sit down with @aerialknight.com to talk about Dropshot, an indie fps that takes place in free-fall, giving us an exciting new take on the genre!

We talk about the game, the trials of self-publishing, and why a cow has anything to do with what's going on!

Outside of that, I'm not entirely sure where you'd find the audiobook recordings of them, but the Dragon Weather trilogy by Lawrence Watt Evans was great

It's a classic that I know you've gotten through before, but listening to the Hobbit as read by Andy Serkis took that shit to a whole other level. I just finished it a couple weeks ago, and it ruled

Sometimes just going with the flow and letting it guide you is the play. Not often, but ya know...

Also, I wanna see you make another game.

Imma need you to be more confident in yourself. That's what I wanna see from you...
