Hi there @aegjohnz.bsky.social! I didn't cross paths with you at Gen Con, but here's what my under-1-minute pitch would have sounded like, if I had. (In this scenario, I presume we are walking and talking, Sorkin-style.)

I was googling some dialog from a puzzle in genshin impact to identify which puzzle it is so I could find hints, and the google AI seems to think I've been in some kind of coma or cryostasis for hundreds of years? this is genuinely the weirdest one of these I've ever seen
"Today is August 4, 2026" There Will Come Soft Rains By: Ray Bradbury
My favorite Gen Con memory was probably trying to figure out how this dragon's anatomy is supposed to work.
![[[A man in an elaborate hat and leggings, WHIPSMARK, holding a book, speaks to a woman, BELDRA, peering through a lorgnette and holding a tiny dog.]]
WHIPSMARK: Did you just POST this about the late DINGO WOLFHEART?
WHIPSMARK: “Rest in poop to DUMBO WOLF FART. I’m glad he’s dead, but I’m sad I wasn’t there to watch it happen”
WHIPSMARK: “He will be mourned by other people who should ALSO all die soon. This is not a THREAT of any sort, simply a request to Santa Claus”
BELDRA: I have a bunch more in my drafts, if you’d care to see.
WHIPSMARK: I do NOT.
WHIPSMARK (sternly): Crass. Disrespectful. When I die, are you going to say terrible things about ME, too?
BELDRA: WELL
BELDRA (sliding into a smirking, gleeful side-eye): THAT DEPENDS
[[The dog side-eyes WHIPSMARK as well.]]

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Catching up on some cultural gaps; recently watched PARTY DOWN (started 2009, set in 2009) and now watching FREAKS & GEEKS (started 1999, set in 1980). Deriving a complicated calculus about how a F&G show made today would be set in 2007 and therefore PD is that show
I'm glad to see that other people are noticing this too (they're also all over my neighborhood), but I have much less confidence than this author that the average person knows or cares enough for this to affect their buying decisions.
404 Media@404media.co · 4w ago“Terrible posters are nothing new,” Jonathon Yule, executive creative director for design at Concrete Design tells us. But with these posters, it comes with “none of the charm” that may accidentally come from a business owner making something low quality.
Holy shoot, I emailed and complained to this guy, expecting I'd just get added to fundraising mailing list, and within 30 minutes he sent a long email apologizing and taking responsibility, and by the next day his website was brand new with real photos of his real community by a real photographer.
Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com · last mo.Okay, I'll definitely vote for the guy promising to stand up to AI datacent-- wait, is he using AI images on his anti-AI datacenter website????
So I tried mocking up the clear favorite (Spaget 'Em) and I'm just not sure it parses. Part of it is the typeface, of course, but I think Noodle Battle might just make for a better logo.
david malki !@davidmalki.com · last mo.OK so now the secondary question is: Given the following options, which is the best title. Results are binding (A) Puzzle di Pasta - A Duel to Noodle On (B) Pasta Pronto - A Puzzle to Noodle On (C) Spaget 'Em - A Pasta Puzzle for 2 (D) Noodle Battle - A Pasta Puzzle for 2
@maassive.bsky.social What's your Latin question? Your guy is definitely @benitocereno.bsky.social
Wouldn't it be nice to have our own little fans that cool us down internally? Don't ask how that would work, I think the answer would shock & disgust most people (and also we don't know :P ) 💻 Topa.to/wondermark | @davidmalki.com 💻

david malki !@davidmalki.com · last mo.I am working on a pasta-themed puzzle game called NOODLE BATTLE! Here is a question for you, the potential pasta puzzle enthusiast. Is this title: (A) Just fine! (B) Nonsensical. Noodles don't mean pasta. Please also indicate where you are from when you answer, I get the impression it's regional.

I feel like Bluesky needs to know that Jim Davis is auctioning off a fuckton of original Garfield art, and many of the strips are currently priced at literally ten (10) dollars You should all buy your own strips, y'all comics.ha.com/c/auction-ho...
