Go see Wildwoods, it is a great, tragic romp and feels like a perfect TRPG campaign wrapped up in a film

By the way, we did a free episode about Myst last week, and our episode about Riven is coming up this week. Check em out

TWOAPW #264: MYST It's the best selling computer game of the 20th century, and the story behind it is pretty remarkable. Let's link up and turn some cranks

What I hate about asking AI questions is that the answers are as helpful as searching the Internet for information*used to be*. But finding useful stuff on the internet has gotten so much worse, in part because it's full of bad AI articles!

OUR DROPOUT SHORT IS FREE ON YOUTUBE NOW!!! by @radrappy.bsky.social , @raebits.bsky.social & myself - please give it a watch!!!

Sorry chatbot lovers but the waning of Boolean operators in most search functions on websites has made my life actively worse. You can't find anything, you can only have things suggested to you.

This halftime show is the musical version of "The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny", with a bigger budget

Hey!! Me, and fellow directors @caitlinroseboyle.com and @raebits.bsky.social made a pretty insane short for @toonoutanimation.dropout.tv that comes out next tuesday!!! Please look forward to it!!

Thinking about heat shields.

Space toilet broke again.

Me, 2010: I wonder what the future holds for computers... Me, 2026: If I miss-type the name of my CAD software in the start menu a browser I don't like will appear to show results from a search engine I don't use of an artist I don't listen to.

Due to work every few years I find myself having to debug problems with a GoPro, and this has become my bellwether for how bad internet search is getting (and now also the spread of useless AI generated guides and FAQs)

Did you bring the donuts?

I think I will use the internet to experience some of the most profound art ever created, wait hold up, this one got me laughin again

This rings true and I mourn.

LEGO should have a Ship of Theseus kit where they occasionally mail you new replacement parts

Well this was a dream come fucking true. Got a personal tour of the headquarters of the people who made my favorite games growing up. That's me holding the prop that is the ORIGINAL MYST book, from the very first game!! Incredible. Thank you @edoublea.com and @cyan.com !!

We had a blast showing @adamconover.net around Cyan HQ today. Here he is linking to Myst island. Hope he’s good at puzzles.

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.

When I buy myself a little treat in this dystopian hellscape

Of all the online services and portals I've been interacting with the for 15 years, the only ones that have not gotten dramatically worse are Steam, Wikipedia, and Giant in the Playground. They are also the only ones that don't have to answer to shareholders.

tried to start a commune on myst island but fell apart over basic things like taking out garbage, doing dishes, who resets the puzzles at night, which brother to give the pages to, who gets to sleep in the spaceship, etc

I think The Orville is actually the best Star Trek to come out in awhile (There is apparently a new Star Trek movie that nobody saw)

If you are a side character in a medical drama never go swimming

You know things are bad when your Solidworks CAD model becomes *nondeterministic*
