Owns Pillow Fight Games, made Later Alligator and We Know the Devil. Working on a game with fortune-telling dragons.

I got both the Covid and flu shots today, and they’re both excruciating. I’ve been rolling around my house like a cenobite, groaning and hissing, “The pain is exquisite, I will endure it happily every year until I die.”

October 8th is World Octopus Day! Octopuses are a subject I regularly return to. Enjoy these octopus linocuts, woodcut and screen print. 🧪🐡🐙 This is my hand-carved and hand-pulled Lino block print of a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods

As described this is my hand-carved and hand-pulled Lino block print of a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The water looks black and the octopus has its brown tentacles curled in to its indigo body with reddish fins. Each print is 9.25” by 12.5” on delicate Japanese washi paper.

I’ve made a startling, Spooky Month discovery about my mew sweet kitty: not only does Din have big ol thumbs, but his thumbs have lil side thumbs. No bonus beans, but each one clearly has a bone and a smol claw.

A gray tabby kitten from the top. He’s polydactyl with big big thumbs, and arrows are pointing to little tufts of fur in between the fingers, but they’re extra fingers.

Game Devs of Color is this week!!! My talk making the trailer for Skin Deep by @blendogames.bsky.social is Wednesday at 1:45p Eastern time. This one is an extremely tight 30 min which starts with me getting the job and ends with final capture (and lots of unused takes 😅)

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

I am watching The Librarians, and it's such a shame this show was cancelled. We're talking Stargate SG-1 style cast cohesion, fun-bad special effects, and Rebecca Romijn and Noah Wyle are so smokin hot, they just sizzle.
