We have a fun name change story - In 1830, there were quite a few Turtschi families in Switzerland, and two lived close together. They were constantly having problems with mail and records getting mixed up, and finally one of them had their name legally changed to Durtschi to solve the issues.

True, I just enjoy it too much to give it up πŸ˜› With that change, I'm not as sure what I'd pick...... But I'm leaning toward the latter now

I hit a milestone on a little project today πŸ™‚ Nothing shareable yet, but I've completed the foundation that makes it so the next stuff I'm working on *will* be shareable

I think I'd go with the first one specifically because of the "disappearing from game dev forever" part of the second one.

Jade has been so kind to me

So I now live atop her tree!

Up here I write my books in peace

While planning my escape to Greece

Quick, let's meet the waiting car

No one will see us if we're far

Lay low here, hide out there

The pigs won't find us anywhere!

Feels weird to say this, but when Hello Kitty Island Adventure came out on Apple Arcade, I tried it out just because I was trying out pretty much anything on there, and I ended up surprisingly enjoying it quite a bit!

Ohhh, I was wondering what the footstep particle system you mentioned would look like in practice! That looks great!

Don't worry, he'll come out of it

A great big zap should do the trick!

Attach the diodes here, then there

Or just attach them anywhere!

I heard this organ's meant to tick

So here's a clock in place of it!

Now sew him up, right here, right there

Just place some stitches anywhere!

Just amazing the number of people who can’t seem to simultaneously keep two thoughts in their head at the same time:

(1) the Iranian theocratic regime is bad and would not be missed

(2) there is a real problem in a world where the President of the US can attack random countries on a whim.

It took me much longer than it should have to realize

Exactly how I've been feeling. Hearing someone else voice the same thoughts helps πŸ™‚

Holy freaking crap. Opus Magnum is one of my favorite games of all time, and I never thought we'd see any more official content!
