Walked up to a straight couple to ask "Which one of you always tells the truth and which one of you always lies?"
But when she replied "He does." it really made things ambiguously awkward.

Coming up to half a year since Mars Vice launched, so I think it's the proper time to do a give away.

So for every 50th repost, I'll select a random person who comments below and give out a Steam key of Mars Vice.

Tell us what you dig about our game!

Itch And Steam's New Policies Reflect A Larger Battle On Free Speech Collective Shout's campaign--and censorship in general--will only make video games worse.

I wrote about how foolish and short-sighted this whole debacle is, how it will make games worse and do precisely nothing to protect vulnerable women.

If you're in Kilkenny come check out an exhibition of games I'm putting on in the local library!

The machine is not the one getting banged.

I appreciate that they don't waffle on this. But I think it would be funnier if they renamed the Pokémon to Mx. Mime.

“I will prove that Millennium Break can change lives.” #friendsatthetable #fatt #palisade

When my friend introduced me to their Mr. Mime, I was trying contemplating the gendering of Pokémon.
But I definitely made things *incredibly* awkward when I accidentally phrased it as:
"Is there a Mrs. Mime?"
That's why they won't sell me Pokéballs any more.

Huh, I would've assumed you'd need to have a firm grasp while spinning.

The way dialogue choices exist as parallel offramps to conversation is also really interesting for thinking about the narrative structure.
