Spent the last day of vacation in the woods. Not a bad way to do it. Tomorrow is my first day of work after six weeks; I don’t think I’ve taken such a long break since my university days.
We did nearly 25km today. And because some people thought he was in a seat on my bike or something: no, this kid is nuts. So proud. So tired.
The kid wanted to take a bike ride with me today which somehow turned into an epic 16km tour of Helsinki. So fun, but dear are my legs gonna be noodles tomorrow.
The 1992 game AVENGING SPIRIT for the Gameboy might be one of my favorite examples of Japanese vs. North American cover art.

Frances Bean Cobain is married to Tony Hawk's son, and they have a child. Imagine being able to play a series of video games where you play exclusively as your own grandfather. That's a very niche genre, "Pop Pop Games".
The narrator in this is a dapper humanoid wolf played by Sting and if that doesn’t make you curious enough to play it I don’t know what to tell you

People act like it’s impossible to do the right thing and succeed but its actually pretty easy to do it and have everyone love you and you can even be a goofy silly guy and do it
Guess who had the integrity not to accept $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival last year?
Well this was… certainly a novel by Charlie Kaufman. Layers upon layers of different meta-fictional realities and plotlines that span millions of years and dozens of characters. I loved some parts of this, hated others, and though the last 20% was an absolute slog I think (?) I’m happy I read it.
Douchey 2013-as-hell title aside, these letterpressed business cards are definitely the coolest ones I’ve ever had.
Did you know that in 1965 General Electric tried to make “HARDIMAN”, the first powered exo-skeleton? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardiman
Unused / outdated concept art is not the same thing as cut content.
game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

I can’t wear a wristwatch due to nerve issues in my hands, but I was just gifted a beautiful pocket watch. …Would keeping it in the front zip of my daily carry fanny pack be TOO sexy?
This is fucking nuts dude. What the hell
