The J stands for “Jiggity Jig”
“Powered by” or “Staffed by”? I’m imagining a bunch of humanoid robots in hamster wheels. Regardless, why would your machines have a shape designed for living a human life, and not a shape more suited for the factory functions they’re meant to perform? Just aiming for that slave aesthetic?

The biggest adjustment of being married is definitely that when I slap objects like a drum, my left hand now makes a much louder CLACK noise.
Finally played the demo for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. I love it. I disagree with whomever said it lacks appeal for adults. It’s not “Yoshi’s Island But Easy” it’s a Yoshi game with a different style of gameplay that they were wise enough to realize did not benefit from spiky game design.
When they redesign a cereal box they should depict the mascot holding the old packaging. Like the Borax girl, but with a microscopic version history of past redesigns.
Throughout the entire hayday of the point-and-click adventure, and even after the revival of the genre, I feel like they never cracked how to give one a satisfying climactic ending. It either abruptly ends after a normal puzzle, or after a puzzle with a time-bomb countdown that politely loops.
Whenever I hear someone described as “OG”, a little part of my brain still thinks “Opera Ghost”.
The monks in Breath of the Wild’s partnered “Duelling Peaks” shrines are posed like the peaks themselves. Don’t have a picture. Just take my word for it.
A sticker I made for our wedding. At different times we both worked at the same summer camp. I led the Wolves’ cabin and she led the Thrushes’ cabin. #art
No room should ever be lit by those horrible LEDs that make your hand look like it’s at an imperfect frame-rate when you wave it.
A sticker Charity and I made for our wedding. Blueberries have been a recurring theme in our relationship and she wore blueberries in her hair with her wedding dress. #art
A sticker I made for our wedding. The top d20 is Charity’s, and the other two dice are mine. I’m proud of making them spell out the year of our marriage, while also being the maximum roll on each dice. #art
A sticker I made for our wedding. If I ever mentioned just having finished a shower over text, Charity would hit me with an animated gif of photographed shampoo bottles applauding. This happened often, so I drew them in cartoon form. #art
A sticker Charity made for our wedding. For my birthday last year she made me a crocheted “Poisson Steve”. Here he is all dressed up and ready to attend. #art
Made this sticker for our wedding. It’s a singlue Sonobe unit or Sonobe module. It’s a type of modular origami that featured heavily in our wedding decorations as well as my proposal decorations. I designed it to resemble an “S” for “Stephen”. #art
A sticker I made for our wedding. Early in our relationship we left surprise refills of dairy products on each other’s doorsteps and came to attribute the benevolence to the Dairy Fairy. #art
We had an even more magical encounter with a deer on our honeymoon yesterday and I managed to take this incredible shot:
A sticker I made for our wedding. We saw a deer during the evening of our proposal. I didn’t find a place to fit it in the engagement illustration so I made it a sticker instead. #art
A sticker I made for our wedding. This little squirrel was trying to photobomb our engagement shoot. He wasn’t in focus in any of the photos except one taken specifically of him, so we commemorated him as a sticker. #art
A sticker made by my wife Charity. I love his little feet. This one actually makes a cameo in the Mario Kart sticker I posted yesterday, as it’s the sticker I equipped to Charity’s “Ribbit Revster”. #art
For our wedding, we made stickers for our guests based on ourselves and our relationship. I’ll share them all gradually, but here’s one I’m sure “my audience” will appreciate and one of my favourites that I drew. #art
It sure has been a busy year! I haven’t posted much art but that doesn’t mean I haven’t made any! It was just all in the service of our wedding so I haven’t shared any publicly yet. Here’s an illustration I made of our engagement for the invitations. We also made stickers which I’ll share later #art

Breezed through the DK retro challenges (navigating Bananza for the modern ones seemed like a hassle. This one says you need to “jump over cutoff and damaged rails and complete Minecart Carnage” but actually they’ll award you the card even if you use the secret to avoid jumping over any such rails.
