A maned wolf. I haven’t sketched in forever (year?) and got a new fountain pen today. Pretty overworked.

Womp womp. Hit my Claude Code 5 hour session limit (1 hour away). $20/Pro plan (I'm cheap and rarely hit limits). No biggie. I have some Steam demos to play and needed a break anyway.

Spokane is really suffering under a combination of terrible wildfires. My house was near the epicenter of the autumn lane fire, and against all odds, survived, but many of my neighbors were not so lucky. It’s bad, folks. Time to help your neighbors!

Ten years ago, it started with a game jam. Since then, we've poured all of our love and craft into every single pixel. Now, it's finally here: a wordless point-and-click adventure in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs. Theropods launches August 20th!🦕

Long live PC gaming. The greatest gaming platform to ever exist.

🥳 Woohoo, the development of Heir of the Dog is complete! Final touches & testing are underway and we're closing the Kickstarter campaign soon! ➡ heirofthedog.co.uk/kickstarter We need 26 more backers to reach 1000... support us and bag yourself a big box! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Do Not Buy The War Crime N64

There's so many ways to play the N64. You do not need to support Palmer Luckey's little project.

Tech help? I see 3-4 little ghostly alpha images on the upper right of my monitor. They don't appear in screenshots. They do appear in full screen apps. I've tried everything. Turning off nVidia overlay etc. Any ideas? Can't be burn in?

Because of Texas Senate Bill 2420 Bluesky now requires age verification via Kids Web Services? (4 digit SSN/ccard/photo id). Nope. I refuse and will gladly vote against idiots who support this. Link to workarounds: shorturl.at/dbNO7 (I used the Method 2) I nearly deleted Bluesky account.

I love electronic/ambient music but I get stuck in ruts and rarely explore new music via Spotify etc. Friends turned me onto Boards of Canada (new album soon) and they are fantastic! Perfect music to work to and their debut album, Music has the Right to Children is 10/10.

I have to say, Charles Cecil & gang at Revolution Software have done a great job remastering their old Broken Sword games. It's nice to see and a lesson to all devs - IP matters. Even in 20-30 years. You-never-know. Keep your IP. Anyway, new Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rev...

Concerning. Bluesky has flatlined at 38 million users. Every number here is red and every graph shows a slow decline. If you're a creator run business you may not want to burn the boats. bluefacts.app/bluesky-user...

We just watched Sam Raimi's "Send Help" (starring Rachel McAdams). Amazing movie. Very fun. Highly recommended. Go in as blind as you can.

Did a quick grocery run. Very nice.

I finished (3hr) and enjoyed "Crabmeat". It's a little clunky but has a horror vibe and if you want to tool around an artic sea fishing for a crab quota and your life and like exploring games on the fringe then it may be a solid weekend game for $7. store.steampowered.com/app/3671850/...

This is all you need to know to write a hit video game. Everything else is internet noise. Be realistic and aware of your skill. Now, go start something people want to play.

Talking shop on character design, NPC categorization, the importance of a "low level" supporting cast for creating ambiance, some tales from the Worldwound, and the critical element that A.I. could never have thought of for Annah in Planescape Torment. blockhead.cc/p/how-charac...

A common tactic on Bluesky seems to be: You get a new follower. You look at that follower and they have like 80k followers but they follow 250k people (basically everyone). Their accounts are usually just nonsense or politics (same thing really?) Anyway I insta-block these folks when I see them.
