Mustered up enough energy for one more bag. I swear that makes Lego sound like cocaine, but let's be honest; cocaine is probably cheaper.

Even more circuit boards buried in it, and neat tricks to make the D-pad and buttons squishy. Almost wish it came with educational material about each component.

happy new year from the west coast. my 2026 resolution feels both very small and yet large: I intend to make at least one person’s year easier than it would have been without me.

A Dungeon Game is here and it's free! (It's been both of those things for ages tbh)

Explore subterranean depths, face dragons, and discover what lurks beneath. It's classic dungeon crawling with modern design (i.e. it's good).

The gelatinous cube mini was far too quick and easy to draw.
Better spend HOURS putting a whole-ass skeleton in there! 😫

"Hey Fiction Factory Games, why are all your new games releasing for free?"

- so you can financially support other indies too
- because this is how I want to spend my retirement
- our community helps fund it
- why the hell not, it's fun
- fuck capitalism and competition

Laugh Track arrives Jan 13.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Visual Novel Developers: I am once again asking you to add full keyboard navigation to your games. I keep encountering games that have mouse and even controller support, but can't navigate menus with arrow keys or even advance dialogue with space bar. It's a disability accommodation thing, yanno?

I’ve found it helpful to use an image of scenery instead of a map as a VTT backdrop. If you want to get real fancy, use scenery that can double as a sort of isometric map if any trouble starts.

"Invictus" by William Earnest Henley. The famous poem bolstering the inner strength in the midst of oppression. Much needed for many these days. Recited by myself. Enjoy listening and I'd appreciate a comment to let me know what you think or your personal feelings about the poem.

BuyNothing is great, and may also be Freecycle in your area. Been able to give craft supplies to a public schoolteacher, Christmas decorations to a divorcee & kids who had nothing, etc. When someone asks for items, the community will almost always swoop in. www.freecycle.org
