Dyebreaker has been sitting at the same number of reviews for so long, whoever reviews it next is going to randomly make my day (assuming it's nice)

i'll be 36 in a couple months and i think that entering the downward slide to 40 means i need to start planning my Midlife Personality Pivot

my friend woke up wanting to golf when he turned 40. don't think that's me. unless... disc golf? could go with smoking meats. but i think it might be birding

Genuinely unnerving trailer for this upcoming stop-motion horror game. Just like the horror movies I'm interested in, I'm alternately excited and apprehensive to see what it's about!

And the team's previous games, Judero/Mashina (also stop-motion) are on sale: store.steampowered.com/bundle/49099...

there was a gaggle of young lads in there playing mario kart on the n64 tv setup and talking about how sega used to make game consoles

they saw me working on the game and asked me questions about it and the youngest one, maybe 5, said very earnestly β€œit’s really cool that you made that game” πŸ₯²

went to do some maintenance on Dyebreaker 002 and was struck by how amazing it is to have made an honest to goodness arcade game, in a lineup like this. between donkey kong and monkey ball! my videogame!
