Happy Birthday to our favorite Bean Farmer, Uwe Rosenberg!

Screenshot from a comment in a Discord server, the text reads “It’s so sad hardly anyone is making good point and click adventure games anymore. The Dig, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, these are all etched into my soul.

I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵

Séamas O'Reilly: The world is an objectively worse place because of tech-bro oligarchs As Zuckerberg pontificates about masculinity and traditional values, he does so in soundbites as lifeless as his former paeans to gender and racial equality

I wrote this on eternal life and ceaseless cringe. And how I've no interest in living forever if it's in a world ruled by the weird, brittle freaks we call tech CEOs.

Today the algorithmic timeline of Twitter kept showing many versions of the same dry news about David Lynch passing away.
I found it annoying.
Tonight it’s all about the people, sharing memories, anecdotes and tributes for him, and it’s beautiful.

This trip to Italy is heavily reigniting my passion for comic books, which is both wonderful and problematic (because I want to buy tons of different things)

I'm doing some tidying up and set up another starter pack of British Isles illustrators working in the wider design community beyond children's books ( go.bsky.app/NAP6mya ) very early days for this - I'll be adding names gradually.

Perfect Organism by Andy Kelly on Unbound An Alien: Isolation Companion

Last night I finally finished writing my Alien: Isolation book. Turns out writing 70,000 words about a single game, even one you really love, is hard work. If anyone's into the game, horror games in general, or Ridley Scott's Alien, you might dig it. You can pre-order a hardback copy here.
