the thing no one warned me about when hanging out with kids is hearing a 12-yr-old try to say "but [2 yr old] is doing it!" when you tell her not to do something and you have to be like "that's literally a toddler. you are much bigger than a toddler." I was not prepared to have to explain this lmao

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

taking a quick scroll through a tag on ao3 and then going on an extended rant to greg about how literally everyone else is wrong about this ship and I'm the only one who approaches it correctly (and that's why the other two people in this extremely dead fandom have more kudos than me)

I really enjoyed playtesting this game! And I think the changes Alex outlines here will make it even better, so I'm very into this!
I've written up the #Metatopia2025 playtest notes for my upcoming game "Escape the Apocalypse" and you can read them here if you fancy a bit of insight into the development of a game

If you're into them, you should grab my in-development games as community copies, because that means itch will let me email you dev logs when there's updates to them! Even if you don't think you'll get around to reading it for a while (or ever! I know how it is!), it tells me people are interested!

Prototype time again! This time with some post-Metatopia changes that I think worked well! I mean, this hypothetical game still ended terribly for everyone involved, but that’s the POINT, so I’d say it’s working for now

"four christmas movies to know me by" except it's the "my mother says they're not actually christmas-y enough" version (actually this isn't quite fair, she DID like the holdovers once I got her to actually watch it but she was VERY skeptical)

Not mad I watched this on mute because I LOVED the match and didn’t have to hear how bad the crowds always are for women’s matches. Maybe I should just always watch on mute lmao
