Don't let anyone dull your sparkle* *enjoyment of salted wheat snacks

My walk-on music is the part of "Sail" where they say "blame it on my ADD, baby"

I don’t post as often on here as I should hur definitely wanted to share the Towerborne Launch trailer! Super exciting day. Can’t get over it. youtu.be/4s1PI1YVCE4?...

When I say video games are art, THIS is what I mean. Go explore the mansion! (Congrats on the launch, @colin.how and company!)

I thought I had to drive across the city today and was kinda dreading it based on how much odds and ends I still have to do - then just realized I totally had my dates wrong. All the joy of cancelled plans (and time back) without any of the bummer of letting your friends down

San Fransisco is beautiful

I can't believe it's already the last day of GDC. I still haven't seen half the people i'd hoped to, but definitely spending less time at the conference and more at Yerba Buena was the the right call.

Malört is how Chicagoans say "I love you"

The only real reason to have any kind of badge at GDC is "bathroom access"

my partner @delriach.bsky.social is lead combat designer on this so i'm biased but y'all: it is FUN. it's got crunchy, snappy combos, a "just one more" feeling to its levels, and loads of unique enemy designs. if you liked how combat felt in rumbleverse, don't miss it. isaac and his team popped off
