THERE ARE EIGHT DAYS LEFT TO BACK THE GAME INDUSTRY HARDSHIP FUND AND GET A LOT (127!!!) OF GAMES WHEN YOU DO do it. do it. do it. do it. do it itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Currently listening to the audiobook of the latest Alan Moore novel and the sense of whimsy underlying his particular sense of humor is a reliable joy to me.

I am honored to announce that in cooperation with the Toth family, I will be working on the official Alex Toth typeface in the coming months. The plan is for this to be a commercially available font via the official Toth estate. Stay tuned for updates.

Hot take: Indie game devs should announce when their games are on sale as they do, but also should announce when their games are OFF sale, so people who want to support more can buy at full price.

After talking to a young writer last night, I want to remind you all that it's okay to write without an assignment or goal. Write to explore a new technique, get an idea out of your head, or as emotional exhalation. Write for the raw joy of it. For you alone. It doesn't need to go into a portfolio

First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.

The Agency is the most tense show since The Americans and Ozark. After watching a few things that were utterly tension-free, it's a wonderful scary joy.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Don't forget the darkly brilliant 1984 Soviet cartoon adaptation: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ksyL...

2000 reviews! Well I didn't expect this before we launched but I'll take it. :-)

Yeah, Potato just *gives away* content like this 24/7. Totally ineffective monetization strategy.

You ever stare at your dog like I can't believe this is free. He could easily charge for this

She's on a first name basis with the Spectre and Phantom Stranger.

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

Quadrilateral Cowboy & Invisible Inc are in a cyberpunk bundle together! store.steampowered.com/bundle/82990... I'm a big fan of Invisible Inc, what a joy to be bundled together🙏

I saw this lawn sign last weekend and couldn't help hearing, "From god to Kane to Seth..."

GIRL SNAKE CATCHER. she makes a snug little income by securing reptiles for traveling shows SHE JUST GRABS THEM (The Washington Bee, Washington DC, November 8, 1902)

I've apparently played our game for over ninety-three days on Steam.

For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

Watching The Prisoner because they put it on Critereon and this shit rocks dude.

Still the best story I've ever heard one comic creator tell about another.

Had one of the most laughably bad moviegoing experiences of my life tonight. Like, we literally laughed about it the whole drive back. People talking, on their phones, kids running around, a group trying to loudly sneak into the film halfway, music from the next screen audible throughout...
