After animating the Steam hardware buddies last year, I finally got my controller today! (After GLS Netherlands managed to lose two controllers before the third one got here but hey 🤷♂️)
I was hoping for your help with something. (Please RT for reach.) Is there a particular font that’s instantly recognizable to someone who lives where you do, and appreciated/recognized/hated there, but completely unknown elsewhere? Road signs, street names, transit, infrastructure, stuff like that?
found on my old drives: my attempt at a restoration of this Dot Gobbler cover art

In a very Indy-like move, we've unearthed a never-before-seen Lucasfilm Games Indiana Jones adventure! Note that we said "adventure," not "game." For possibly the first time ever, here's Indiana Jones and the Quest for Paradise VGA, the best ten-minute commercial you'll see this week.

I was tricked by a very nice person into talking about my career, and a bunch of the amazing things I’ve been able to make with my friends over the last 25 years. If you want to hear someone ramble about LucasArts fan sites, the early years of Telltale, and Firewatch, this chat with Ron is for you:

This quit screen from the quite obscure 1996 DOS 3D shooter Cylindrix is quite perfect as an endnote to basically anything.
