Fun fact: I am one of the few people that can claim to have seen this broadcast as it happened, as I was visiting my grandparents in the twin cities, was unattended, and got excited when I saw puppets on TV

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Putting in the effort to research and compile a large amount of data only for all of it to calculate to the funniest possible outcome is one of the most satisfying things

Something about @rive.app dev clicked with me over the weekend and a project I was expecting to spend multiple weeks on was suddenly 70% done
Still lots to do but the excitement of just seeing everything come together is a huge energy boost!

This is one of the most popular posts I've made on this platform and while I wasn't expecting it, it shocks me not one bit
It took years, but I have come to accept that Garak is my favorite fictional character of all time and I no longer carry any guilt about this fact
Basically anytime there’s a win in the Dominion War storyline of Deep Space Nine or just anytime when Garak gets sassy.

The Nacho Libre game for the DS shipped with zero difficulty curve because someone changed the code to test something and then never changed it back, and it wasn't caught until it was impossible to go back and fix
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

I thought it was “Keeping Up With the Cardassians,” and was crushed to find out that Garak had not gotten his own show

Putting this out into the ether now: I have no idea how ticketing is going to work for the 2026 field of dreams game between the Twins and Phillies, but I need to be there with my entire family. This is not a request, it is a demand. Everything about this game is tied into the fabric of my being

The #Braves today declined to tender contracts for the 2026 season to RHP Alek Manoah and RHP Carson Ragsdale.

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...
