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. 🐛🐞

3.5yo: I don’t want to go. You can go all by yourself.
Me: You have to go bud. I can’t leave you home by yourself. You could get hurt and no one would be here to help. Also, it’s against the law.
3.5yo: There are no laws.

I blogged about why I avoided Binding of Isaac because of its depiction of cleft lips and other birth defects, and how a recent conversation with its creator changed my mind.

I’m excited to get to play MGS4 for the first time. Back when it came out I didn’t have a PS3 and only saw bits of it here and there when friends played.

I feel like I have trouble getting it to open properly both ways sometimes. I only use it when other studios or platforms request we use it.

I said this before but Americans simply can not comprehend how much wealth there is. We constantly under project how much tax revenue we will raise from taxing the wealthy. The original estimate was $50 million.
Crowd reaction to Prop 1A raising $115 million in it's first year, more than double the initial estimate! @houseourneighbors.bsky.social

Being neurodivergent and having kids will very quickly give you an idea how much of your own behavior is nature vs nurture. And from my POV a surprising amount of it is nature.

Hey y'all.
A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂
