Quick intro 📌 :
I’m Phil Tibitoski, cofounder + President + CEO @younghorses.com. We made Octodad, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Bugsnax, and Bugsnax The Card Game. Used to do community building stuff too, but my new goal is making sure my two kids are kind and considerate which takes up a lotta time. 🐛🐞

Me sitting on a white modern upholstered chair facing a person wearing an elaborate Octodad costume sitting in the same kind of chair. A tv screen is behind us that says “Spike PS4 ALL ACCESS GREATNESS AWAITS.” We’re backlit with gamer lights. This was at the PS4 launch event in NYC in 2013.

The Bugsnax box art featuring Filbo a muppet like creature called a Grumpus who’s chasing a Strabby Bugsnak which is a living strawberry with googly eyes running with it’s leaves as legs. Filbo is holding a butterfly net, and other traps. Behind them are various other Bugsnax and a lush tropical landscape.

A Young Horses games 13th anniversary promotional image with Octodad holding Bunger and Strabby. Bunger is draped over Octodad’s shoulder like a dog, and Strabby sits atop Octodad’s perfectly normal human hand. It reads Thank you for 10 great years! However the 10 is crossed out and replaced with an 11, which is also crossed out and replaced with a 12, which is also crossed out and replaced with a 13.

Putting in VO even if it’s temp is always such an upgrade over clickety-clack typing noises.

Yes! I’m 17+ hours into it now and still having a great time.

I think Ghost of Yōtei is going to be my GOTY with DK Bananaza in a close 2nd place. We’ll see what Metroid Prime 4 is like though.

I generally believe that, but I also then wonder how much damage has to be done before it turns around. So it’s sort of reassuring, but not totally.

This admin is doing beautiful things for my general anxiety. Traveling for work for the first time in years and my brain is like, “Literally anything could happen at any time.”

It’s great!

It’s hard to focus on video game stuff right now, but I’m trying.

They’re always trying to do way too much in these games to justify it being the only game someone buys for that year. They’re bloated.

Philip Tibitoski @ptibz.younghorses.com · 2d

This would have been awesome. Also, the only problem with Yasuke is that he’s too OP. You can just roll through the game with him no problem.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Love the new Giant Bomb Golf Week logo. Wish I could get it on a nice sturdy coffee mug though.

Oh nice. I've looked at those a few times. I've been wary of the price, but I should probably just take the plunge.

I ran into this trying to watch Alien Earth and getting a bright red Borderlands 4 ad every like 15 minutes. Inflated what should be a 40-45 minute episode into over an hour.

I've been getting more and more blu-rays. Then I put them on my NAS. It's a lot of setup, but it's been overall worth it to limit how often I have to deal with streaming bs.

What are folks' favorite bags for traveling with work gear? I have a small fjallraven from like 10 years ago and an old Bungie backpack that has holes in it. 😗

I have a work trip coming up but haven't gone anywhere really in like 7 years.
