Kids these days will never know the pain of nailing your shin with a skip-it

Excited for the first group playtest of my hybrid TTRPG today! Let’s just say I designed a game about the little things…

Tech question for y’all: we have a new kitten that is a ball of nonstop energy. How do we activate sleep mode?

Watching Conclave and pretending they’re wizards

What was once a dream becomes a backstory.

Me, nervous, watching the lead up to the reveal of the new pope: “I wonder if it’s me…”

I heard if you take a selfie and ask ChatGPT to “create an exact replica of this image, don’t change a thing” 666 times, you can actually look upon a demon that desires your soul. And it will look right back…

Every time a CEO starts talking AI it reminds me of that episode of The Office where Michael learns he’ll get a bonus if he returns the surplus to corporate instead of spending it on his employees. It’s such obvious greed it’s comical.

ouib

You know you're not a main character if you don't snap necklaces and amulets off your neck with a single yank.

boo :(

Sinners is absolute cinema. Outstanding performances, incredible soundtrack. See it in theaters if you can!

Trainer: Alright time for some push-ups. Me: Push pops?!

Iron Man: Let’s dance… *Iron Man’s mask snaps shut* Iron Man: OW SHIT, my hair, it got caught on my hair, hang on, fuck that hurts

Mario Kart World is the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing I’ve always wanted.

My wife using a sketch to explain to me how a squirrel “mission impossible’d” our bird feeder:

But the Switch 2 is too expensive, right?

Sitting in the heat 👏 Sitting in the heat 👏 Not doing anything, Sitting in the heat 👏 This is what it’s like to work on a movie set 👏

My only disappointment with #TheWhiteLotus season finale was that the reveal had nothing to do with monkeys. No monkey with a gun???

I want a comedic Benjamin Button sequel where a couple both suffering from Benjamin Button Syndrome have a child with BBS, then when their child gets older (younger?) they have to care for their parents who became children. At some point they're all roughly the same age, which is ripe for hijinks.

*people in the US having a rude awakening* The rest of us:

free movie pitch: Kindergartner Cop here’s another: Paddington vs Winnie the Pooh

Damn, now where am I gonna get my alien symbiotes?

hey the markets might be crashing but at least

So excited for that new Donkey Kong game! Gimme gimme

Well, gosh. This explains a lot of the enjoyment I'm having with this game. 🔪

The Final Fantasy IX 25th anniversary stuff has me excited! (please announce the remake) And I’m gonna need this Freya plushie like right now please and thank you

Been getting back into reading. Just finished Somehow I Manage by Michael Scott and now I’m starting Organize It! 2: Engage With Zorp.

HULK ALWAYS FILE TAXES ON TIME. CLAIM BANNER AS DEPENDENT.

Repost with a movie you know all the words to

Not wearing green in the Emerald City?

Wicked is a witchy version of The Grinch. Those two should team up.

Hello, welcome to my company. We only hire senior positions and you must have 300 years of experience with at least 900 shipped projects. Contract position, no bennies.

So hyped for this! But ya better gimme Hulk or I’m SMASHIN’ youtu.be/Ug6EqQz0Zx0?...

Signs that say “If you can’t read this you’re going too fast!” don’t make any sense. If I’m going so fast I can’t read it, the message is lost on me. Not effective. They should say “If you can read this there’s a stranger hiding in your backseat!” Way more effective.

Already completely obsessed with The Studio

Sometimes when I’m mindlessly scrolling on LinkedIn I start saying people’s names like the announcer on SNL

Anyone else listen to game OSTs while they design/write their own games? Hit me with your faves please 😁

The Sea of Stars soundtrack is so gosh darn good. Glad I picked it up on vinyl!

The density of vegetation in AC Shadows is truly astounding. It feels like actually trying to run through a forest. Well done!

What an incredible GDC! Met some amazing people, learned so so much, and had an absolute blast. See you next time!
