I am compelled to second this for anyone reading. I thought I'd save a few bucks and reseal the parking lot at my studio. Shockingly bad idea. Saved like $100 and it took me and a buddy ~25 hours of just the worst labor imaginable. Never again.

The wife showed me V for Vendetta for the first time last night, it being the 5th of November and all, and I can finally say that I now understand all the memes.

Oh, and I suppose it was pretty poignant and relevant.

The internet has been down at my studio since this morning and if it doesn't come back soon I might resort to cannabalism

I won't lie, I got a little star struck when I realized you were the Jess of Virtual Broomcloset fame when SQH credited you on that Ramp It Up game we worked on back when I was first joining this community. I definitely wouldn't have gotten through a lot of SQ without you. And Gary Owens.

My kid sent me a Minecraft mod in .jar form via gmail and let me tell you, that was quite the ordeal to convince gmail to let that happen. Like, I get people are dumb (and I'm the king of dumb), and security is needed, but at some point it just approaches the absurd

I'm probably going to be working from home later tonight, so I'm sure it'll make my simple brain explode

The Discord "spooky" notification sound sounds *exactly* like when I have discord open on my main pc and the pc I'm remoting into at the same time and get a message and it's messing with my brain

Yeah, I was surprised reading what you wrote because of the big 3 in our area, Menards would have been last on my list for companies that might do that

Oh hey, in 24 hours I'll be on a flight to Portland for this thing. It's going to be neat. I'll make sure to write warzone missives.

My dearest beloved, war is hell. The Voodoo Doughnuts was out of blueberry.

I generally stay away from talking about the state of the world because no one gives a shit what I think, but this pretty much sums it up right now

My favorite line is still my ringtone!

I have my students trained well and every time my phone rings during a lesson they respond with "Someone wants to talk with the apple man". It's my own little slice of nerdy heaven (oh and the games are great and everyone should buy them)

This has been eating at me all day. They went to the neighborhood behind Jewel on Summit in Elgin. I'm there all the time. One of my wife's closest friends lives that. It's one of the quietest parts of Elgin. It's people just going to work and taking care of their families. Makes me sick

Seize the Cheese on Steam Harness the power of explosions to propel yourself skyward and claim the biggest cheese, the Moon. Seize the Cheese, because you can never have enough cheddar!

Oh hey, that trailer sounds a lot like some music I would do if I was doing a trailer for a game (and also doing most of the music for said game). You should probably give it a wishlist, it's a fun one!

I've never been a big coffee/caffeine person, but I bought a Keurig knockoff for my studio. I just got into work and made a cup with some fancy vanilla stuff and I gotta say, I think the whole of humanity is onto something here.

Silksong has 10k reviews on steam about 10 hours after release. If I'm doing my math correctly, that comes out to $736billion for Team Cherry
