The Crimson Diamond is on sale for AdventureX! The event was one of the first times I showed TCD publicly and made me feel like a real game dev. It motivated me to continue onward. It brought me to London for the first time. What an adventure! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... #AdvX2025

Screenshot from my tiny Over the Garden Wall adventure game. Wirt is in a tree, Greg is standing by. They're in an apple orchard. There's a robin in a nest and a shack.

Screenshot of the start of the ruthless space crab iteration process! A low-res pixel art image, green on black, of a crab with stars in its eyes.

Video thumbnail of my newest Let's Play! Handwritten text across the top: "Let's Play Karuizawa Yūkai Annai" with a screenshot of the first screen in the background, and some Japanese text. I'm head and shoulders in the bottom right.

Copper cast in the shape of the Sumitomo Group logo. On the underside of the lid of the white cardboard box, handwritten text reads: Sumitomo. Toyo Works. Besshi Division. Funaya, Saijo. Ehime, Japan.

Hey, Monkey Island hivemind!

One more crowdsourcing request for anyone inclined to help. I’m trying to remember as many instances as I can of specific times — game and scene — when Guybrush identified himself in conversation as somebody he was not.

(e.g. I’m Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother?)

Screencap of my livestream, with "Happy Crimson C'Tuesday " handwritten across the bottom. A screenshot of the DOS game Gold Rush is in the background. There's a speech bubble with a nearly finished pixel art background.

Done for the night! I showed some Over the Garden Wall game, wallpapered some pixels & explored Karuizawa Yūkai Annai! Thanks @lemmingruns.bsky.social, @rat707.bsky.social, and @martydotzone.bsky.social for the raids! I raided @robotspacer.online playing 7th Guest! Happy Crimson C'Tuesday!
