Something nobody told me about my hernia surgery was that the mesh they put in me frequently sets off airport detectors, so about 50% of the time my crotch lights up bright red and they take me aside for a “sensitive area pat down” that requires a manager to be present.

Upon listening to 2 or more Polyphonic Spree songs most criminals feel uplifted enough to stop crime entirely.
A single Polyphonic Spree song is often uplifting enough to prevent a crime.

Layoffs hit Double Fine today, and I'm sorry to report that I was one of the ones hit. If you need a game designer with tech chops and 2+ decades of experience, here I am.
I wish it was easier to figure out if I like Deerhoof or not. I heard Friend Opportunity almost 20 years ago and I still haven't sorted it out.
Rocket Dog v0.06 Beta is available now on @itch.io! There's been so much cool stuff added to make the game look and sound like a real thing in the last few months, it was killing me that the beta didn't reflect all of it! A lot of new art and music. Full credits on the page! indomitablerocket.dog
