Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

There might have a been a producer caught in the zone. 👀 @karriebear.bsky.social @paullicino.bsky.social I forgot about this one!!! 🥹

I watched Wyatt Russel play a junior hockey tournament in my very old and small hometown hockey rink when I was a teenager, alongside Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. I’m pretty sure my team didn’t win.

I panicked on Monday because I was the only one there in the afternoon… because I’m not used to dropping them the day before. 🤣

Lol. My theory is that a critical mass of Mariners fans finally decided maybe they were ready to watch some of the WS and that's why this is happening. Sorry not sorry

Toddlers are ruthless. My 2-year-old just said “Good job Cal! The end Cal.“ 💀

Naylor's shoes are the best vibes and the Mariners are going to win.

You’ve gotta imagine Seattle native Sir Mix-A-Lot is having the time of his life watching Cal Raleigh

- Our closer, Andres Muñoz rescues cats and leaves the game on for his cat Matilda so she can watch him pitch.
- We have Josh Naylor, aka "Thicky Henderson," who is the slowest runner yet steals a lot of bases.

Is your team no longer in the MLB postseason? Want to hop on the Mariners bandwagon? We will welcome you with open arms! Here are some reasons why you should join us.
- We've never been to the WS, let alone won it.
- Our best player has a nickname celebrating his big ass.

My toddler just yelled “Demigod!” when Cal got a home run. #GoMariners

• JRod was just singing along to the chant or song or whatever in the outfield 🤣

Reasons why the Mariners are the most fun and deserve to win:
• Fun belts and other equipment pops of colour
• Big Dumper
• Matilda the cat
• Etsy Witches
• Home run trident 🔱
• You may think our mascot is a moose, but have you met Humpy?

I’ve spent most of 2025 feeling stereotyped and abandoned by most of my home country but very proud of the progressive city I’ve decided to call home. Basically, this series is my whole personality and I am 😬. #GoMariners

Saaaaaameeee.

I try not to feel smug generally, but today I am feeling very smug about our field having a roof. ☔️

What does it say? 🤣
