do you want a short, tightly-written narrative experience that is funny but also kind of fucked up? it's called Fledgling Manor. but don't take my word for it. i would tell you to buy it even if it was bad. read our reviews (over 100, all positive!) store.steampowered.com/app/3238510/...

touched down back in Boston again... excited to sleep for days and also cuddle Mika (who has apparently been despondent while I've been gone)

The river is a god & they killed her. It’s time for ordinary people to hold them to account. Excited to share the first trailer for our new game about dead gods & taking billionaires to court — All Will Rise 🌏⚖️✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXQa...

Small point of order for anyone talking about my identity, especially in relation to my art: I am not a trans man! I sort of prefer just being called trans or queer with no qualifiers tbh but if you need a more specific label nonbinary or agender is fine. I'm a king not a man 👌🏻

Interesting hat to wear onstage in this particular moment

Hey there Delilah I've escaped with all the treasure Even though in Nassau I said we'd make this score together Guess I lied And to this letter I applied Some cyanide

if you want to watch a stream that offers an antidote to the bleakness of the current game landscape and celebrates and alternative, please check out our Unearthed Treasure Room stream today at 7pm ET/4pm PST here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T2E... or here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNPP...

*Literally* fifteen minutes after writing a nice message about how healing the weekend was I got a call saying my grandpa is in the ICU and things are not looking good. If the universe could stagger the deaths in my life apart a bit more than this that would be awesome

Still on vacation so I cannot play Deltarune on release and therefore I am logging off because I don't trust any of you devils not to spoil things for me. Someone promote the comic for me in the meantime while I'm gone or something. Tell people there's boobs in it

peace out losers im going to Dog World

😈JUNE 14TH Save the date!!! This is Boston’s biggest Pride Dance Party!!! 🔥I’M SO EXCITED AND PROUD TO SHARE THAT I’M A FEATURED ARTIST VENDOR…

oops mine own armor hath fallen off accidentally

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

News from me! Last week was my last week at Double Fine. It was an exciting time and I am very grateful to have learned so much at a beloved studio. This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out. Eager to start a fresh adventure!

Oska and Lalo are not people. They are only weapons to be wielded. The Arcana Imperii has pointed them at a divine beast, and yet they still find ways to make each other bleed instead. THE VOW is a 300 page graphic novel, available now. For mature audiences only. 🩸⚔️ physical // digital

Also, happy pride. xtramagazine.com/love-sex/why... Here's an article I've shared a couple times over the years. I hope queer online spaces one day becomes a kinder place. The weird witch-hunting behavior I see sometimes disappoints me so much. Especially over fiction and art.

thinking "I've lost all of my creativity and I'm washed" and then going 24 hours without looking at my phone while hanging out with my friends and getting brain blasted

I'm flying back to Portland and I'm obviously excited to see my friends again but also keenly, painfully, agonizingly aware of the fact I am not going to get to see one of my friends. Having a real "god fucking damn it, Rowan" morning 💔

On my way to the airport, starting my travel day off right by having a Bostonian Cocktail (Adderall, Ativan, and an iced regular)

me: I'm not going to get to play Hundred Line for over a week! What fun mysteries will the game have in store for me today on my last session for a while Hundred Line: Hot Dog Route again tonight, queen?

I packed soooo light for this trip (this is femme for "I only brought two eyeshadow palettes and I'm embarrassed to say how much time I spent deciding on which ones")

tbh I dislike talking about super personal stuff on social media but 🚬😑 my stress/anxiety levels have been so high for such a prolonged time that it's impairing my cognitive functioning and general health! aaagh!! I'm sorry if you've sent a message I've missed, this year has been a nightmare!!

A message from IFTF's president about this year's event (don't panic!):

Only just found out about Lactaid a month ago and it's still blowing my mind like what do you MEAN they just took the thing that makes you sick out of milk AND that's somehow not what all milk is now
